"The government is introducing one bill after another, adding to other measures dictated by the same logic: to weaken our #democraticInstitutions and silence critical voices capable of expressing legitimate disagreements and defending the rights of all, including the most disadvantaged, marginalized, and discriminated-against minorities."

I get that people want to write this off as another distraction to … fill in the blank [probably folks are craving more #Epstein drama] … but whether #Trump’s inept handling of foreign or domestic policy leads #DarthVader / #StephenMiller to try to pull a “these are not the droids you are looking for” on us, the tiny dictator doesn’t have an iota of the force, so pay attention, even if you have a 4-day weekend. Por favor.

Sen. Slotkin said #Trump “is attempting to use the #FBI to scare us.”
“Whether you agree with the video or don’t agree with the video, the question to me is: is this the appropriate response for a president of the United States to go after & seek to weaponize the federal government against those he disagrees with?”

It would mark the 2nd investigation tied to the video, coming a day after the #Pentagon said it was reviewing Sen #MarkKelly (D-AZ) over potential violations of #MilitaryLaw (also bullshit). The #FBI & Pentagon actions come after #Trump accused the lawmakers of sedition “punishable by DEATH” in a social media post.

What's the takeaway from the evolution of Anonymous? What's the future of social causes and digital dissent? Are hacker collectives for the common good still possible, or have hackers split into paramilitary appendices and criminals for profit?

It’s a stark truth: harassment is often the cheapest method to enforce control when arguments fail. They know it's wrong, but they rationalise it by playing the victim to maintain power. Stand firm for civil liberty.

@Nonilex This is a shocking result. We can now fully expect a wave of sandwich-throwing violence to result now that resistors have found that they can expect no consequences.
Waiting for lawmakers to impose a seven-day waiting period and ID verification for any deli purchases.

A new model is used to explore the relationship between dissent and self-censorship under varying authoritarian policies. "...the probability and time for an initially moderate, locally-adaptive authority to suppress dissent depend critically on the population's willingness to withstand punishment early on, which can deter the authority from adopting more extreme policies."

"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another."
