Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol handed life sentence for leading insurrection

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to life in prison Thursday after a court found him guilty of leading an insurrection during his short-lived imposition of martial law, which plunged the country into political chaos and threatened to unravel decades of democracy.

The Kansas Republican Party hosted a fundraiser last Friday

During which, attendees could pay to assault an effigy of President Biden

Remember when simply criticizing Trump or Bush policies would trigger the right—causing them to scream “it’s unamerican to disrespect the president!”

These are deplorables

It's #GlobalEncryptionDay!

Time to remind everyone that a backdoor "for the good guys only" is simply not possible.

By demanding encryption backdoors, politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. 👇

Global Encryption Day: Any backdoor would do more harm than good.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.

Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%.

Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.

See how this works?

You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.

This is real. It’s not tech bro conspiracy shit.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a “topic” list it shares with advertisers.
