He is very concerned about corruption and crime. /s

"#Trump issued more #pardons this week, again rewarding his allies & those who had funneled money to his associates or donated to his political operation. Among the recipients was a woman who was convicted of #fraud in 2024, after he #commuted her sentence in an unrelated fraud in 2021.

I hate to break it to you all, but modern farming means to work a LOT with computers. At home for the "paper"work which is mostly digital, on the field with proprietary systems in tractors and other machines needed. Not even mentioning the IT work involved in herding cattle or chicken. You cannot run a modern farm without being an IT person. And yes, that's also true for ecological farming.

Now if we all would join agriculture to create open source and open standards … and open seeds …

"KMT and TPP Pass Budget with Expansive Cuts Aimed at Undermining Lai Administration" by @brian_hioe

Hi friends. The world for some of us is a little chaotic and the fediverse is an important escape from other social media for many. But it isn’t free and most instance operators accept donations to offset their costs. If you are able and don’t already, please consider supporting your instance to help keep the fediverse alive and healthy, assuming they accept donations.

For the InfoSec/Fedia donors, I appreciate your support.

Be kind and I wish you all the best.

Americans are legally all female now. I don't make the rules.

He loves his chilling effect lawsuits and can afford them easily.

In 2005, Poilievre voted against same sex marriage.

In 2008, he questioned compensating Indigenous residential school survivors.

In 2014, he achieved his only legislative accomplishment in the Harper government: passing a bill restricting voting rights.

@pluralistic highlights the fact that millions of Americans are rushing to install dodgy VPNs (especially the "free" ones) because of increasing censorship in the US.
