It took a lot of heat but is probably still in service. Don't know if it was/is opensource. Same idea, crowdsourcing and distribution of useful realtime data. So long such an app doesn't bloat impacting realtime performance, designing it to generically handle all sorts of realtime threat / support / help! classes that users could filter for based on their needs. Crypto could perhaps allow various local groups to use it in a somewhat more private mode relavant to them, caveat infiltrators. Lots of technical issues to design... location anonymity of users, etc. Development could occur anywhere on the spectrum of public (unix kernels) to more anon (early bitcoin and i2p). But the code and binaries definitely need to be opensource reproducible and should have some form of open participation development model.

[WAR] The real refugees welcomed by Hungary's Victor Orban

As they say "Speak truth to power" :) ** Orban Is the Ultimate Troll King: Europeans Fleeing Their Homes Are 'Welcome in Hungary' http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413c… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Matthew Allen on Sun, Feb 12, 2017 Viktor Orban is truly fearless. While the EU hems and haws over how to accommodate "refugees" that have no interest in ever assimilating to European values, Hungary's leader reached out to any European who felt the need to flee his/ her own country: "Naturally, we will take in the real refugees," Orban said at his annual state of the union address. "The panicked German, Dutch, French and Italian politicians and journalists, Christians forced to leave their countries will find here the Europe they lost at home." The audience received the comments with laughter and loud applause.

Mobile App for ICE Checkpoints?
by Yosem Companys 13 Feb '17

From: Celso Mireles <celso.mireles(a)gmail.com> Hi Folks, Glad to see new energy around this idea of using technology to fight back against an oppressive system. I started an open source project to see if there was interest in developing an app that provides real-time verified alerts about immigration raids to people. I've gone through a couple of iterations of this idea. I'm sure I'm not the only or first one to think of something like this, but I first came across this idea while working at United We Dream and collaborating with MIT's Center for Civic Media on a project called Undocutech <https://www.facebook.com/undocutech>. Then the idea resurfaced while I was helping build some online infrastructure for Movimiento Cosecha <http://www.lahuelga.com/>. I started working on a prototype using Meteor.js, but felt discouraged by the lack of interest and haven't really worked on it. A couple of months ago, I refactored the prototype to use React.js, a modern front-end framework. That project is currently open-sourced, and on Github:* https://github.com/Cosecha/redadalertas <https://github.com/Cosecha/redadalertas>* Open-sourcing it was an attempt at gaining attention/energy, and help in developing the project. However, considering the sensitivity of the subject, a serious solution would most likely need to be developed in private. I've already been faced with questions/concerns about the security of open sourcing an app like this. I've also realized through some iterations of a solution, that a mobile app is not really necessary. The core functionality of something like this can be accomplished with SMS. If anything, a web app can be used to present the data about where raids are happening. And that would allow for less attack vectors if there is no website, or app, to hack into. I must also admit that I'm not much of an organizer (or salesperson), so I never put prototypes in front of people to validate and get feedback from the people this solution would serve. For a project like this, more that just developers and designers would be needed: - Project Managers - Organizers to train people on using the tech, and work orgs on pushing it to the public - Fundraisers - Maybe some lawyers to at least be conscious of the legal lines something like this would blur A bit about myself: Born in Mexico, I've grown up in Phoenix since I was four. I'm currently a DACAmented person, and work as a full stack developer. I started out in the movement in 2009 while attending Arizona State University. After graduating, and being a farm-hand while having a Business Management degree for a few summers, I decided to go back to the city of Phoenix and start a business repairing computers. My involvement in the movement also led me to pick up graphic design skills, website skills, mainly because it was needed and I would volunteer for that kind of stuff. I eventually served as Online Coordinator for United We Dream around the time we started asking for administrative relief. While at United We Dream, I had the honor to meet Aaron Swartz (RIP) while he was at ThoughWorks. I remember him telling us about our ideas for apps (paraphrased) "Don't worry about whether it's technically possible. If the movement needs it, I can build it for you." That blew my mind. It inspired me to continue into my passion of design and technology. I moonlit some online courses for a year, then decided to be a freelance web developer to accelerate my learning. I did that for a couple of years. It's been a tough road, but I recently got a job as a web developer, where I am learning even faster, and want to put that knowledge to good use. And I think the time is right. I look forward to seeing something come to fruition. Cheers, Celso

Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President
by Anti Fag 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Seems there are misrepresentations of the travel ban and the law behind it. [U.S. Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part II, § 1182, Paragraph (f)] Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President Full Speech: https:// youtube.com/watch?v=502Eujo1P94 US Code: https:// law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182 Here is what was said: “You could be a lawyer, or you don’t have to be a lawyer. If you were a good student in high school or a bad student in high school, you can understand this, and it’s really incredible to me that we have a court case that’s going on so long. As you know in Boston, we won it with a highly respected judge, and a very strong opinion but now we're in an area that, let's just say, they are interpreting things differently than probably a hundred percent of the people in this room. I'd like to almost know, does anybody in this room disagree when I read this? I'm gonna read what's in dispute, what's in question. And you'll see this, it's: [U.S. Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part II, § 1182, Paragraph (f)] Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President Okay, now, this isn't just me, this is for Obama, for Ronald Regan, for, the Peresident, and this was, done, very importantly, for security. Something you people know more about than all of us. It was done for the security of our nation. The security of our citizens. So that people come in who aren't going to do us harm. And that's why it was done. And it couldn't of been written any more precicely, it's not like "Oh, gee, we wish it were written better". It was written beautifully. So just listen, here's what it says, this is what they're arguing: Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Okay, so you can suspend, you can put restrictions, you can do whatever you want. And this is for the security of the country, which, again, you're the chiefs, you're the sheriffs, you understand this. And, I listened to lawyers on both sides last night and they were talking about things that had just nothing to do with it. I listened to a panel of judges and I'll comment on that but I will not comment on the statements made by, certainly one judge, but I have to be honest, that if these judges wanted to, in my opinion, help the court, in terms of respect for the court, they'd do what they should be doing. I mean, it's so sad, they should be, you know when you read something so simple, and so beautifully written, so perfectly written, other than the one statement of course, having to do with 'he' or 'she', but when you read something so perfectly written and so clear, to anybody, and then you have lawyers and you watch, I watched last night, in amazement, and I heard things that I couldn't believe, things that really had nothing to do with what I just read, and I don't ever want to call a court biased, so I wont call it biased, and we haven't had a decision yet, but courts seem to be so political, and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what's right. And that has to do with the security of our country, which is so important."

"Fake News" - CNN denies cutting off Bernie Sanders in interview cutting him off
by Zenaan Harkness 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

So CNN denies cutting off Bernie Sanders in their interview - in which they cut him off for making a "Fake News CNN" joke - then promptly deny cutting him off, first with "technical problems" and then with plain "we didn't cut him off, here's the transcript proving it" claim, and publish their own transcript ... which shows that Bernie indeed got cut off. This IS after all, CNN! You can't make this stuff up - it would be the lamest movie line in history and people would say "oh yeah right, like a mainstream western TV channel would do THAT!" But here we are. Non stop Fake News CNN doing everything they possibly can to discredit themselves. Could this really be a continuous, as in ongoing, like permanent, real life freudian slip by the network's staff, subconsciously trying to appease their unfathomable guilt at eating so much ... pizza ... or something. (CEO of CNN was overheard mumbling "it's not like we've got anything to bloody lose or nuthin!") Keep up the pressure lads, CNN's total financial destruction is near, and this would send a "surprisingly apropos" signal to these pizza loving Fake News kings! 2017 - where the winning just never stops: https://sputniknews.com/us/201702121050603718-trump-sanders-cnn-fake-news/
