Are you in the UK and opposed to providing ID to use social media in the coming weeks?

... and yet you just voted for HRS 488, praising Trump's ICE forces. Their provocations on the streets of LA shows us what they are made of. Still want to praise them?

Please do better and stand up to incipient tyranny and authoritarianism, rather than voting for performative Bills.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social How disappointing that you were on the wrong side of cloture for the deeply corrupting GENIUS stablecoin Act. Please do better.

@reckless.bsky.social Pity you didn't have time to ask Sampath about the reckless neglect #VZW shows for POTS. I get a 60Hz ground hum whenever it rains & so make them roll a truck. Now they want Frontier? The same (bankrupt-prone) company to which they sold so much copper 10 years ago? Oh, please!

Otherwise Objectionable | Podcast on RSS.com The true story of the most misunderstood law on the internet. Tech journalist Mike Masnick brings you inside the making of Section 230 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, featuring witnesses to Silicon Valley’s Wild West era, the Congressmen who wrote the law, and innovators who benefited from its balance of freedom and responsibility. Why do so many people hate this law, how does the rest of the world deal with these issues, and how can it be used to take on new challenges like A.I.? Listen to find out.Otherwise Objectionable is executive produced by Bilander Media.

Please find a way to add the "Otherwise Objectionable" podcast to your rotation. And then make your US lawmakers listen to it. Hosted by @mmasnick it's really interesting, and will teach anyone why we must protect #230 https://rss.com/podcasts/otherwise-objectionable/

@pkryan.bsky.social @pkryan.bsky.social They are going after USAID because they calculate that we think that it's for "other people" & thus not important.

Foreign aid is less than one percent of the US budget.

This is a nation of laws, please work to keep Democracy alive.

@pkryan.bsky.social Having served overseas, surely you know how important USAID is. Please stand up for it, tell the White House and colleagues that we need this department to help keep us safe & prosperous.

The projection of soft power is more important than kinetic power.
