The same public libraries that vigorously defend the privacy of our reading lists
The Patriot act allows the feds to get the books you’ve checked out at your local library.


Trump is a symptom. Removing him won’t save anything.
We need to gut the entire ruling class.


I do on my laptop. Mostly so I can present with one user that has a clean browser history.
My main user has access to all my porn.


J6 was a trial run.
They learned their lessons and they will do something else to usurp the democratic process. And this time it will work.


Not only that, but bare in mind that most government employees are there to do a job. They don’t always agree with the laws they have to enforce and sometimes they will make it as challenging as possible for fascist ideas like this go through.
Complaining to them is like complaining to the checkout cashier at your grocery store that the prices are too high.
It got Trump’s dick hard as well. Can’t forget that.

Link to the English version of the same article but I get the sense that it doesn’t have the same level of detail as the Swedish version.


She said this as some sort of “gotcha”.
So before we miss the point here …


This behavior seems to be very similar to NFL stars and how they never wanted their kids to play football.
Everyone involved knows how dangerous social media/football is and many of them are in positions to actually do something about it. But because it benefits them personally, they won’t even rock the boat.


We have a lot of people willing to fight for a better future.
We don’t have nearly enough people willing to die for a better future.


I remember reading an article in the early 2000s about how plastic recycling was essentially China buying plastic en bulk to only bury it. Once they saw it was poisoning their water they stopped, which effectively stopped plastic recycling in a lot of areas.
Today, I still try to recycle plastic if I can. I try to limit my use if I can help it but it’s so fucking hard. I’ve recently learned that glass isn’t even recycled in my area. (It’s crushed and then sold as aggregate filler.)
Aluminum cans aren’t recycled like they used to because they have a plastic lining now.
We really need to force companies to take back their products or at minimum pay a tax so that localities can actually recycle their trash.


Or the rich and/or powerful are so used to getting away with crimes that they had no problems committing first degree murder.


I’m going to be a bit contrarian here because there is a distinction that’s important.
If they cared about selling you, they’d have a similar incentive to keep your information private and only sell it to the government (which they can legally do).
They are bending a knee because they want to stay in Trump’s good side. They are literally becoming collaborators.
Remember that reddit fought against the MPAA and RIAA to not give them information about pirate users.


No, his ball.


This 100%. I care about politics. I deeply care about what’s happening with our country.
But I’ve had to pare down the places where I see it. I’ve stopped watching Last Week Tonight because it makes me feel so powerless on what I have control over. I absolutely love the show but I just…can’t anymore.
I’m acting locally, participating in whatever protests I can, calling and emailing my reps as often as I can.
But man…the right’s “flood the zone” works effectively and I can’t just keep burning out.
She’s thinking “parliamentary tactics” is what’s going to save the country.
Ma’am: Republicans have shown multiple times they are willing to kill to have their way. How will “breaking quorum” stop them?
