Pretty much everyone wants to track you.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center just dropped a report on the 8 Manipulative Design Patterns in Opt-Out Processes.

It analyzes how 38 platforms make it difficult for you to exercise your rights.

How many do you know?

1/10

This is what happens when the tech bros come to town and push their data center on you. Saline Township, MI, couldn’t afford to fight them off. Cities and towns, beware—pass legislation before they set their sights on you. #DemsUnited

Chicago police just arrested a citizen for cleaning up trash in his own community alleys and streets.

His group regularly does the job the city refuses to do.

This man and his organization go out and clean public spaces that local government ignores. Instead of thanking him they slapped cuffs on him.

Why? Because Chicago has fat contracts with private companies that get paid to do nothing.

The US Government (through its NED) sent 200 Starlink terminals into Iran in January to coordinate the terrorism that killed over 3,000 people - and was then falsely blamed on Tehran. Thank you @MaxBlumenthal

A data center in Fayetteville, Georgia secretly drained 30 million gallons of water—equivalent to 44 Olympic swimming pools—while residents watched their taps run dry. GA is in a severe drought, and people are speaking out.

Data center propagation is out of control! #DemsUnited

None of this is about antisemitism. It’s about Jews losing our treasured status as victims. For generations we convinced the world that we have suffered more than anyone else and that our pain should be respected. We took advantage of this and used it to excuse the worst crimes imaginable. Now no one wants to listen to our sob stories. That is our fault. It has nothing to do with antisemitism.

Dear @Hertz, when i got read-ended while at a stop in your car, called your roadside number and got a "please call during business hours" message, i laughed. When I went to your location to return the car and provide insurance info of the person who hit me, and was told "do not worry we'll take care of it", i was relieved. But when weeks later you contacted me demanding i pay cash for the repair and told me hat in fact you "never take care of it" and you have no idea who told me, andit was on me to "handle it", I was furious. Luckily (with permission) I recorded your employee telling me at great length that you will in fact take care of it and after submitting this report at the location, there was no further action required of me. So, what now? Is this the sort of business you run? Lying to customers and attempting to gaslight them? Seriously?

Jeff Bezos thinks people are ‘vilifying the rich.’ Bro, you’re one of the richest people on earth and 1/3 of your warehouse workers rely on government assistance for basic needs like food and rent. You ARE the villain.

I see US foreign policy with an unprecedented clarity.

Just a month old, this doc accurately mapped out:

—US blockade on Iran
—Continuation of attacks on Russian energy
—Assault on Cuba
—Chevron expansion
—US stepping in to force oil/LNG purchase on China
