Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

I’m tired y’all…
All you age verification folks…
Log off.
Throw out your phone and computer.
Stop participating in building a global surveillance system.

I saw a finance guy say that he doesn’t use it but he watches it, which makes sense because it is an insider knowledge platform.

We are constantly led to believe that gender identiy is so malleable that randos will be instantly transed by the slightest social pressure.
Why doesn't it ever go in the opposite direction? Why can't they then "un-trans" people if all of our identities are so vulnerable to the power of suggestion?

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

that I lived in Texas. This lady asked me to show her a bill in my name… then she asked me for my passport. I was like “Ma’am… I’m fully aware that it doesn’t take all of this for me to vote”. She then all of a sudden found my voter registration in her system.

I voted today but it was the strangest experience… went to my normal place to vote and was told I now have to vote at another location. Cool. Went to that location and they “couldn’t find me”. I pulled up my voter registration online and then they asked for my drivers license….then further proof

Everyone needs to tune in to this bullshit going on with the redistricting/voting location noise during primaries.

Especially states making these last-second changes.

This will continue to be weaponized, even if it's ultimately driven by incompetency, for the general elections.

They need the whole song and dance in Jerusalem so a nuclear war is kind of inconvenient for their whole thing. At least I hope so…

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Hardwares so expensive even the cloud folks can’t afford it?

Iran conflict: Rubio says US launched war on Iran after learning Israel planned to attack Secretary of state says US had to move ‘preemptively’ to stop Iranian retaliation against American forces

so let me get this straight. attacking iran is justified because iran was going to attack US bases, only after israel attacked iran first. so instead of stopping israel from carrying out the attack, the US just had to bomb iran too.

This goes 💯 for me too

Military Commander Tells Troops Bombing Iran Is ‘Part Of God’s Divine Plan’ One commander had a “big grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran," a service member said.

Some U.S. military commanders have reportedly been accused of telling their troops the Iran war is part of a biblical plan to trigger the end times

They, evangelical Christians, apparently believe the apocalypse (and judgement day) is imminent and that it is foretold in the revelation of John that there needs to be a war in the Middle East and something Jerusalem and people rising up to heaven and… honestly I couldn’t pay attention

«[They] report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new ‘biblically-sanctioned’ war is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian ‘End Times’»

These people are Christian extremists

Lebanon has ~300k Palestinians refugees, the descendants of Palestinians that fled the Nabka in 1948. These people are locked in gated ghettos. They are not given work permits or citizenship. Half of these people are children born in the camps to parents born in those camps. And now this.
