There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”

Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Bleak but true. To have any hope of rebuilding it, any Democratic president that comes next would have to match Trump’s aggressive pace and wield the executive branch to destroy the billionaires’ power for good and permanently safeguard our regulatory agencies. Hard to imagine.

i hope it’s clear that big tech is not an ally. it only was as much as it was profitable. textboon rainbow capitalism, and now when they saw the writing on the wall, they flopped back into fascisms arms

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

"...the question arises of what should be done and, more critically, what can be done? The sad answer is not that much. Those with the direct institutional power to slam the brakes lack the will and those with the will lack the power."

Brutal

Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday Federal agencies moved to satisfy Trump’s orders to remove topics like diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.”

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a New York Times analysis found. The purges have removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes, scientific research and more.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
 
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon.

“Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said.

“How about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” 💙

So disappointed in this turn from Cenk. Him and the TYT network was an important step early in my journey of developing my political ideology. Until recently, I would say they were still a good gateway to move people left.

Great interview! Glad to see Francesca is one of the real ones.

Brendan Carr wrote the FCC chapter in ‘Project 2025.’ Now he’s Trump’s pick for the agency | CNN Business President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for chairman of the Federal Communications Commission signaled that it won’t be business-as-usual at the country’s communications regulatory agency

Is anyone on the right still trying to claim that Project 2025 wasn't the plan the whole time? The dude literally wrote the FCC chapter.

I wonder if he'll really try to ban TikTok; something Trump "promised" he wouldn't do.
