Broke: Vote Blue No Matter Who
Woke: Vote In The Primaries For Progressive/Leftist Candidates So The Center-Dem Weenies Who Let Things Get Bad Can't Stab Us In The Back/Let Us Down Yet Again After The General Election

@lewdert My friend @PartlySmith responded to this with "when the impressionable autistic kid ventures into the incel subreddit," & it's lived rent-free in my mind because it's so true
Also how the rationalists ensnared a lot o autistic kids, just add "closeted transfemme" as an adjective
There is a key takeaway from Discord’s “Please don’t be mad at us” press release:
The UK, Australia, Brazil, Europe, and *multiple* US states are pressuring Discord into mandatory ID verification. Their hand is forced.
In some cases like the UK and Australia, they don’t even have the options to estimate your age. They MUST get the IDs.
You need to pay attention to this. There is a global concerted effort to force mandatory ID verification and deanonymize the Internet. This is all packaged under the guise of child safety or national security for moral cover, but what it really is is a complete control over all narrative and the ability to censor, deplatform, silence, and even legally or physically harm people who speak out against the powers that be.
It’s important to note that this is a non-partisan issue. This affects everyone, regardless of political affiliation. Whether you want to tell edgy jokes online or whether you want to protest ICE, these laws put you in danger. This is and must remain a UNITING issue for all people.
You must make your voices heard and reject the big surveillance narrative and the panopticon-ization of society. Every time a law tries to pass, you must vote against. Every time a politician tries to run on this frankly evil rhetoric, you must vocalize your objection.
You must chimp out about this. If the chimp is strong enough, it slows it down.
Privacy is your most important asset, especially in the age of AI and surveillance. It’s your right to speak freely, whether you want to call Trump a moron or whether you want to say secure the border. It’s important that you are protected and free to do so.
Reject mandated ID verification. Use other platforms if forced, keep resisting as long as possible.
@shiralazar@SenAmyKlobuchar Hosing Section 230 would screw sites ranging from vital infrastructure Wikipedia and the Internet Archive to smaller stuff like the excellent interactive webcomic Awful Hospital, which everyone should read: https://t.co/9MWo8cUZAF
@shiralazar@SenAmyKlobuchar Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@ALostrich Hot take: I still wish (the collective) y'all had gotten as mad at them taking the robots out of Chuck E Cheese as you did about the Cracker Barrel logo, because I'd assert that was a far greater act of cultural vandalism.

Also, for clarity's sake, "Cast In The Name Of God, Ye Not Filthy" is a reference to The Big O, I just thought it'd fit with her personality.

not mentioned in any of the news write-ups I've seen so far about Mahmoud Khalil's staggering arrest (New York Times, Reuters, AP, ABC, Time, NBC) is any mention of "Project Esther" — the Heritage Foundation's plan released in October calling for exactly this type of action
Long before there was a "fascism debate" I can remember chanting: "No justice, no peace/No fascist police." American law enforcement agencies were ready-made shock troops for a fascist executive –– left to fester for many years, and we're now seeing the consequences.
