===========================================================
The Value of Phone Calls
(multiple posts after Inauguration Day)
FOR THOSE OF YOU LOOKING TO TURN YOUR despair INTO ACTION, here's some advice from a high-level staffer for a Senator.
There are two things that we should be doing all the time right now. You should NOT be bothering with online petitions or emailing.
1) The best thing you can do to be heard and get your congressperson to pay attention is to have face-to-face time — if they have town halls, go to them. Go to their local offices. If you're in DC, try to find a way to go to an event of theirs. Go to the "mobile offices" that their staff hold periodically (all these times are located on each congressperson's website). When you go, ask questions. A lot of them. And push for answers. The louder and more vocal and present you can be at those the better.
2) But those in-person events don't happen every day. So, the absolute most important thing that people should be doing every day is calling.
YOU SHOULD MAKE 6 CALLS A DAY:
2 each (DC office and your local office) to your 2 Senators & your 1 Representative.
The staffer was very clear that any sort of online contact basically gets immediately ignored, and letters pretty much get thrown in the trash (unless you have a particularly strong emotional story — but even then it's not worth the time it took you to craft that letter).
Calls are what all the congresspeople pay attention to. Every single day, the Senior Staff and the Senator get a report of the 3 most-called-about topics for that day at each of their offices (in DC and local offices), and exactly how many people said what about each of those topics. They're also sorted by zip code and area code. She said that Republican callers generally outnumber Democrat callers 4-1, and when it's a particular issue that single-issue-voters pay attention to (like gun control, or planned parenthood funding, etc...), it's often closer to 11-1, and that's recently pushed Republican congressmen on the fence to vote with the Republicans. In the last 8 years, Republicans have called, and Democrats haven't.
So, when you call:
A) When calling the DC office, ask for the Staff member in charge of whatever you're calling about ("Hi, I'd like to speak with the staffer in charge of Healthcare, please") — local offices won't always have specific ones, but they might. If you get transferred to that person, awesome. If you don't, that's ok — ask for that person's name, and then just keep talking to whoever answered the phone. Don't leave a message (unless the office doesn't pick up at all — then you can — but it's better to talk to the staffer who first answered than leave a message for the specific staffer in charge of your topic).
B) Give them your zip code. They won't always ask for it, but make sure you give it to them, so they can mark it down. Extra points if you live in a zip code that traditionally votes for them, since they'll want to make sure they get/keep your vote.
C) If you can make it personal, make it personal. "I voted for you in the last election and I'm worried/happy/whatever" or "I'm a teacher, and I am appalled by ——-," or "as a single mother" or "as a white, middle class woman," or whatever.
D) Pick 1-2 specific things per day to focus on. Don't rattle off everything you're concerned about — they're figuring out what 1-2 topics to mark you down for on their lists. So, focus on 1-2 per day. Ideally something that will be voted on/taken up in the next few days, but it doesn't really matter — even if there's not a vote coming up in the next week, call anyway. It's important that they just keep getting calls.
E) Be clear on what you want — "I'm disappointed that the Senator..." or "I want to thank the Senator for their vote on... " or "I want the Senator to know that voting in _____ way is the wrong decision for our state because... " Don't leave any ambiguity.
F) They may get to know your voice/get sick of you — it doesn't matter. The people answering the phones generally turn over every 6 weeks anyway, so even if they're really sick of you, they'll be gone in 6 weeks.
From experience since the election: If you hate being on the phone & feel awkward (which is a lot of people) don't worry about it — there are a bunch of scripts (Indivisible has some, there are lots of others floating around these days). After a few days of calling, it starts to feel a lot more natural.
Put the 6 numbers in your phone (all under P – Politician.) An example is McCaskill MO, Politician McCaskill DC, Politician Blunt MO, etc., which makes it really easy to click down the list each day.

Learn how to use Friendica safely

Safety

Home
Each Friendica instance is linked together with a global network of other servers, some running Friendica and some running other software. These servers support a diverse global community of millions of users. Inevitably, some of these users are malicious. Friendica provides several features to keep you safe from abuse and harrassment.

Terms of Service
Each instance is entitled to define its own Terms of Service, also often called a Code of Conduct. These terms include rules for behaviour. These Terms of Service are visible when creating an account. By creating an account on a server, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Users who violate the terms of service of their instance may face sanctions including being suspended or banned from their instance.

Remember that conversations frequently involve participants from different instances with different rules. Participants are only bound by the rules of the server where they have an account, not by the rules of your server. Terms of Service may even be completely incompatible.

Reporting
Your local administrators are responsible for ensuring a safe online environment for all users on your server. They rely on reports from users to highlight behaviour that puts other users at risk. If you see problematic behaviour from a user, whether they are from another server or are local to your server, you can report that behaviour to your administrator. You can also choose to send that report to their administrator at the same time. You will be given an opportunity to select the type of problem you are seeing. Your local administrator then has the option of blocking that user for all users on your local instance. If a remote server is a constant source of abuse and their administrators are unable or unwilling to control their users behaviour, your administrator can even block the entire remote server.

Ignoring
Once you have become friends, if you find the person constantly sends you spam or worthless information, you can "Ignore" them - without breaking off the friendship or even alerting them to the fact that you aren't interested in anything they are saying. In many ways they are like a "follower" - but they don't know this. They think they are a friend. Your own posts will still be delivered to them. Other people will see their replies to you normally.

Some servers are frequent sources of abusive or other unwanted behaviour. For this reason you can also choose to ignore entire servers. Users on that server can still follow you as normal.

Blocking
You can also "block" a person. This completely blocks communications with that person. Your public comments will no longer be sent to them. Their own public posts will not be visible in your stream. If they participate in other conversations you are following, their replies will still be part of the thread. However, their replies will be collapsed by default, and only visible if you open the reply. Other people will see their replies normally.

A blocked contact will still believe that they are following you. If they delete you as a contact and then add you again, they will return to apparently following you but in fact still being blocked. You will not be notified when this happens.

When you block a person, your server will notify their server that the block has occurred. This is so that if, for example, Alice and Bob follow you from the same server, and you want to block Alice but not Bob, their server can decide which accounts should see your post. This does mean that the administrator of their server can see that you have applied the block, and may inform the blocked person. In some cases this could lead to retaliation. There are several other ways someone can determine that you have blocked them, and see your public posts despite the block. For example, they can simply log out and view your posts.

Archiving
Archiving is similar to blocking. However, existing posts this person made before being archived will be visible in your stream.

WP: UK Orders Apple to Let It Spy on Users’ Encrypted Accounts

Link

What it Says:
UK security officials demanded that Apple create a backdoor allowing them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to iCloud:
The secret order -- issued last month -- requires blanket capability to view encrypted material, not merely assistance in cracking a specific account.
As a result of the order, Apple is likely to stop offering encrypted storage in the UK -- however, that would not fulfill the UK’s demand for backdoor access in other countries.

What to Communicate:
This order is the latest salvo in the tug-of-war over encryption:
Device manufacturers: Now compete on security features & argue that any encryption backdoors would lead to systemic privacy breakdowns:
“There’s no way to build a backdoor that only the ‘good guys’ can use,” stated the Signal Foundation’s Meredith Whittaker.
Authorities: Argue that encryption allows bad actors (terrorists, child abusers, drug dealers) to “go dark” -- they want selective backdoors:
“End-to-end encryption cannot be allowed to hamper efforts to catch perpetrators of the most serious crimes,” stated a UK govt spokesperson.

Additional from IANS Faculty Jake Williams:
“End-to-end encryption is worth fighting for, both for privacy and enterprise security. If a government can compromise end-to-end encryption for file scanning, they can use the same techniques to manipulate data in transit and use it for exploitation. Once end-to-end encryption is compromised in the UK, repressive regimes will use this to compel more access to communications in their jurisdictions.”

Welcome to the Mi Book Club

Hello everybody! I want to welcome you to the new Book Club website. This is a work in progress and something I have quickly thrown together. I will apologize in advance for any warts you may find. At this point the best thing to do is try and work around them for now. I hope you enjoy the site :-D
