To be fair it doesn’t create a police state. It asks agencies how they might effectively allocate resources in a police state and what their first targets should be. But yeah the US is fucked.

Also known as Gell-Mann amnesia

Good, it’s not safe here.

Pretending that the law matters during a fascist coup is not productive.

Apple encourages fowl language

No, but the law has a 5 year limitation and imposes a fine on companies hosting the app 5000 per user/download. So this would give the next president (assuming there are more elections) the ability to levy massive fines on Google, Apple, and Oracle.

I missed where this was allowed… The law seems to say the president can grant a ONE-time extension of 90 days where is the second extension coming from?

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24-656_ca7d.pdf ” §2(g)(6)(B). The Act permits the President to grant a one-time extension of no more than 90 days with respect to the prohibitions’ 270-day effective date if the President makes certain certifications to Congress regard- ing progress toward a qualified divestiture. §2(a)(3)"

Question: We have recently seen that the government can and will revoke green cards at will, why would anybody be interested in this knowing that it offers them at best ephemeral protections.

I was in no way suggesting Booker replace Schumer. I want Booker and the other democrats to pressure Schumer to step down.

He ain’t filibustering shit

Streaming services hopping will become more normalized and so streaming services will attempt to lock people in into longer contracts.

The not so secret tell is If Susan Collins says she will support it you instantly know Republicans as a whole are against it and she is only supporting it as a means of virtue signalling while knowing it won’t have any impact.

A lot of words and no actions… until Schumer steps down Democrats have learned nothing and have nothing new to offer. If you want us to believe you have changed show us don’t tell us.

This is the whole problem, the government isn’t working for people. The media isn’t even working for people, look how few people even rely on traditional media these days. The answer can’t be more government as usual more traditional media coverage. What we need is grand action. Fight the battle in the streets (not violence) force a prolonged general strike, organized mass boycotts, create a run on the banks, and become generally ungovernable.

This SHOULD have been done to stop the last CR. Democrats had a chance to present a united opposition with both the Senate and the House but threw it away. This is not the ONLY productive thing they could be doing, it’s the only legal thing they can do. Democrats are still playing by the rules and following decorum. Americans are angry many seem to be starting to realize they were sold a culture war when what they are actually fighting is a class war. Until the messaging becomes that of a class war Democrats will not be able to capitalize on the anger.

Performative garbage, they had a chance to actually prevent it and they folded.

I read the git history changes and while I generally think it’s somewhat of a nothing burger for savvy users, it is a scummy move that alienates their core user base at a moment in time where they were best positioned to expand their user base.

99% are already not using Firefox 😅. I assume a larger portion of the Firefox user base is technically savvy.
