To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:

"I don't care, I use Linux"

Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?

This is a systemic problem.

You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

Trump just picked Fox host Pete Hegseth to be his Secretary of Defense. In 2019 Hegseth said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing.”😐

It’s official. We’ve all lived long enough to see Idiocracy transform from parody to documentary.

I guess it's good to see so many people realizing that they should get rid of Twitter, though they should have realized this long ago.

It's not good to see that so many journalists -- who have put their consciences into deep freeze with specious "have to be there" logic -- are still supporting a platform that operates in service to fascism.

Senator Warren,
Love you, but if you're not going to do anything about it... 🤷🏻‍♀️ WHAT Do you expect us to do!?

AT THIS POINT - DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR BE DONE IN POLITICS...

MAGA whiners act as if they’re victims because those close to them have cut them out of their lives. But MAGA […] voted to give themselves the power to abuse, terrorize, and destroy those they disagree with […]. Maybe they don’t plan to use that power. Maybe they would not throw their loved ones in prison, or in a camp, or in a ditch, at the first opportunity. But, again, they voted to give themselves that power. How can you be sure they won’t use it?

Despite Biden's Promise to Protect Old Forests, His Administration Keeps Approving Plans to Cut Them Down
—

Old-growth forests are key to slowing #climate change and to protecting endangered species. In #Oregon, logging in Bureau of Land Management-controlled areas has continued at a steady pace despite Biden’s promise to protect these forests.
