I’ve lost count of technologies during my lifetime that had initial skeptics of ‘seems cool, but who would use this?,’ and then that tech became ubiquitous or essential within a decade.
Room-sized computers that required punch cards also seemed cool but mostly useless once.
In the war between ICE and civilians, the police have declared they’re siding with ICE. They have identified themselves as your enemy, and everyone should act accordingly.
A transition to socialism/communism. Trump is the result of capitalism gone wild. This is what it always turns into.
What we really need is a digital liquid democracy platform, and removing power from leaders. No more of unchecked corruption until we can get around to another election. In liquid democracy, people can remove their pledged vote whenever they want.
There’s a big difference between actual fact-checking, and the “fact-checking” industry which is controlled by powerful interests to help sell their narrative.
Hell no. She was a racist, pro-corporate narcissist. She can rot in hell.
I really hate how so many people have tried to rehabilitate and protect her image. After a career spent trampling indigenous rights, I refuse to see her record whitewashed.
This is in Georgia. The state attorney general thinks it’s probable cause for arrest to not have a cellphone, or to have a dumb phone. They’re turning the state into a digital open air prison.
And just like cop city, this is a test for nationwide rollout.
No, they only care according to their own bias. The liberal judges have also been onboard with shredding the constitution on behalf of corporations & authoritarianism. They agree more than they disagree.
He knows it won’t hold up legally, but he’s been on a Zionism tour to set up his incoming bribes, and likely fleeing to Israel to avoid more corruption charges. Proclaiming his loyalty to his masters.
Yeah, I agree with Charlie on this. It’d be funnier and better, if Paul hadn’t lived through it. The scumbag deserves much worse.
Charlie’s death was also hilarious. There’s nothing wrong with taking joy in the obituaries of the fascists backing either party and who are destroying this country.
I think the fastest route is to set up parallel institutions to provide services the current government cuts. As they cut services, they delegitimize their authority. As we provide what services we can, we claim that legitimacy.
LoL. Certainly possible it’s multiple people coordinating, but I think it’s the same lonely loser pretending to be a group of assholes. Same speech/text patterns, and you can see weird timing on comments that look like someone switching between accounts.
Sure. That’s a challenge. But so is securing our current elections. I think we need government funded secure vote devices provided to every citizen, with optional voting systems set up at libraries and other government buildings. Smart phone style devices connecting to a secure government network, with no other mixed functionality and tamper resistant.
Not a popular opinion, but I think we need to consider getting rid of anonymous voting to ensure the most auditable voting. But it must be paired with strict laws further outlawing voter intimidation & retaliation.

Billionaires have always been backing Nazis. They love Nazis.
Guns. We stop it with guns. And fire.

I didn’t invent the term. Not my fault you don’t know it.

Send her back, to face the consequences for her treason.
Hell no. She was a racist, pro-corporate narcissist. She can rot in hell.

Well, the court does. This is coming from Carr, who’s been trying to make headlines for his gubernatorial run.
In Georgia, where this is happening, they also consider not having a phone to be probable cause for arrest.

Not at all. I’m talking about direct democracy.
I think the fastest route is to set up parallel institutions to provide services the current government cuts. As they cut services, they delegitimize their authority. As we provide what services we can, we claim that legitimacy.
There’s no concentration of power. The people are the enforcers.
LoL. Certainly possible it’s multiple people coordinating, but I think it’s the same lonely loser pretending to be a group of assholes. Same speech/text patterns, and you can see weird timing on comments that look like someone switching between accounts.
Which is why I said it needs to be paired with strict enforcement to prevent that. The temptation is too strong for those in power to rig elections.
