"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

in 2009, with 40 senators mitch mcconnell was able to use procedural strategies to grind business to a crawl in order to prevent people from saving a couple bucks on healthcare.
right now, with 47, democrats refuse to do the same to prevent a literal nazi coup.

All of these students being kidnapped for speaking out against atrocities & war crimes.
You do realize this is setting it up for you, right? When you protest against big oil for poisoning our water. When you create a line of people to stop a bulldozer from cutting down our forests.
You’re next.

Watching the Dems lately reminds me of the walrus in “The Walrus and the Carpenter”, the poem by Lewis Carroll that describes the titular characters duping and eating a bunch of young, gullible oysters.

Before social security, the elderly poverty rate was over 40%. Now they have the lowest poverty rates of any age group. I’m a communist but it is indisputably one of the most successful government programs and anyone in conventional politics talking about destroying it is an idiot.
