The fact that the wikipedia article is so thorough and obviously biased in favor of the protests makes it really sus.

James Cameron is making a whole series "we will be so bad in the future too" so there's definitely appetite.

Kshama Sawant is running against Adam Smith. idk her chances of winning but it's great that she's challenging this ghoul.

super cool. The article says the project has been making improvements since 2018. But it seems like it's still experimental. It feels like there must be some big impediments still, or a catch. Since it doesn't say anything about actually putting it into production.

It's not really your question, but you can use QGIS to create maps digitally (or edit or copy parts of existing map data from OpenStreetMap). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCnNWyl9qSE

If you wanna get really fancy with it.

It also has lots of tools for map rendering for printing out the map.

Of course it uses some new complex API added 3 years ago. Web browsers are just too complicated and fast-moving to be private or secure. Thanks to Google and others for not simplifying any of this over time.

So it uses a20161

I doubt there's an official exact color though.

The "offficial"/'original" one linked in the sources uses a50162.

I quoted their Block the Bombs Act position, which the best progressives in Congress like Jayapal and Tlaib are supporting as recently as a day ago https://www.facebook.com/RepJayapal/videos/the-american-people-do-not-want-the-us-government-to-continue-using-taxpayer-dol/860051216542538/ (not that it's a bad thing, but Block the Bombs obviously won't get passed and doesn't use strong enough language).

I'm saying, if weapons to Israel become secret, that will only move the narrative to the right. Progressives might start calling for transparency instead of sticking with Block the Bombs.

This is the line of the Congressional Progressive Caucus https://progressives.house.gov/2025/9/progressive-caucus-endorses-block-the-bombs-act

Following a vote of its membership, the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) endorsed the Block the Bombs Act, which prohibits the United States transfer of weapons that the Israeli military has used in its bombardment of Gaza until human rights violations cease

You can basically guarantee that any elected politician in this country appends weasel-words to any good-sounding policy they promote.

If the weapons transfers become secret, they'll stop talking about Block the Bombs and start talking about how they need to be more transparent.

Make sure embedded video is selected (Tools > Preferences > "All" (bottom left) > Video > "Embeded video")

Also are you using a distro package or the VLC Flatpak app?

it's an optional crash detection feature that was widely publicized. You can turn it off very easily. And it gives you time to turn it off when it engages before calling the police.

If you have phone service, you're already being tracked.

Can't wait for progressive politicians to change their platform from "conditioning military aid to Israel" to "making military aid to Israel more transparent".
