thinking about the attacks on secure communications apps and that we need a resurgence of smart local PGP-style encryption.
it’s an extra step, but not that hard to learn.

WE HAVE ACHIEVED PERMANENT AMBIENT "THESE MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE GOT TO GO." And of course I mean the pedophilic corporate/political elite, but by now it's everything: insurance companies, podcasters, and people who put the toilet paper roll on backward.

Not because I had a small part to play but because now more than ever we need to amplify kindness and human connection, let me share with you the Tale of Kathleen & John

FG desperately taking notes for their next round of housing discussions.
JD Vance's rant today placing the blame on immigrants for America's housing shortage is straight from the fascist playbook. Consider this 1938 card, "Housing Shortage Is the Fault of the Jews."

Many people would have a better understanding of the world if they had been raided by any police or military force.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

In a statement, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt accused the Democrats of having “selectively leaked emails” to “create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.” https://to.pbs.org/3LC1dxY
