Just finished @pluralistic 's Homeland (DRM free from Humble Bundle) and the afterword by Aaron Schwartz hit me right in the feels.
What must he have been feeling at the time he said..."I know it’s easy to feel like you’re powerless, like there’s nothing you can do to slow down or stop “the system.” Like all the calls are made by shadowy and powerful forces far outside your control. I feel that way, too, sometimes. But it just isn’t true."
