It’s unconscionable that the Republicans haven’t removed him, forcibly and in restraints if required. We will never forget their complicity in all that is happening.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.
@davidgerard "They stole your code and your art, they built racism into their systems, they're eliminating your job or making it worse, they're enabling criminal fraud, they're trashing the environment, they're making computer hardware unaffordable, they're taking down your web site with their crawlers, and they’re about to crash the economy. Also, their technology is being used to drown out legitimate content with spam, push fascism, generate child porn, and target bombs at hospitals. So why won't you be civil to them and their fans? They just want to talk at you about exciting new uses for the technology, and bully you into accepting it by telling you it's inevitable and you'll be left behind if you don't use it. Your gatekeeping is a tragedy, we should be welcoming them to Mastodon, otherwise number won't go up."
A fair point.
While Java's slogan is "write more, do less."
My new argument for high and progressively higher wealth tax rates has nothing to do with social justice or progressive values or functioning democracy at all, now it’s just “these people are gullible, easily manipulated rubes and letting gullible rubes hoard too much money is the socioeconomic equivalent of storing your gun collection in a daycare.”
Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
