@pluralistic As with "bullshit jobs", a name corporate interests happily filter out so people under their sway don't see mention of it. Prudery and tone policing in defense of the status quo, as always.

Half the reason for fosta/sesta is "camgirl" was a lucrative work-from-home job a young woman could do safely and anonymously on a flexible schedule without training or much up-front investment, so of course it had to be ruthlessly eliminated as an option to maintain patriarchy.

BREAKING: The system for handling classified info is BROKEN. Congress must fix it.

I’m introducing Defending Our Classified Secrets (DOCS) Act, which requires federal officials, within 30 days of leaving office, to certify under oath that they possess no classified documents. It would also require a tracking system for classified documents that have been removed from a secure location.

@stevenbodzin @vernaf @parkermolloy we allow Russian propaganda to be played on our military bases as the main source of news (fox). Until dems acknowledge that is enemy propaganda and stop treating it like a legit news network, we are never gonna get to fixing our own sources of info. We limit “free speech” when it’s detrimental or threatening (yelling fire in a theater or threatening a life), it’s about time we acknowledge the harm fox is doing to us daily.

The “both-sides" reporting on the debt ceiling by the mainstream media is preposterous.

This fight is being waged solely by the Republican Party.

When Trump was in power, Republicans voted to increase the debt limit three times. Now they refuse.

The GOP owns this crisis.

Perhaps Donald Trump attacking everyone who once supported him as he is facing imminent indictments is not the best idea, but please, proceed. https://youtu.be/QOjvdxWWi-k

The world's plutocrats -- including, sadly, the Biden administration on this issue -- are telling everyone to get back to normal re covid. But when they feel even slightly at risk, they pull out all the stops to ensure their own safety.

Their hypocrisy is transcendent, and countless more illnesses and deaths are on the way because of this. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/orwellian-white-house-covid-policy/?custno=

Ahahaha!

Google's Threat Analysis Group terminated tens of thousands of accounts linked to a group known as "Dragonbridge" or "Spamouflage Dragon" that is disseminating pro-Chinese disinformation across multiple online platforms.

Is it bad that no matter what #linux #distro I try I always come back to #linuxmint ? I know it's just a "beginner distro" that's not as good as Arch and it doesn't have Wayland support and it has an old kernel and it's too far from
upstream projects and the UI is straight out of #windowsxp but it just works on everything I throw it on and I've come to admire its quirks. Is that bad?

Paper straw

Fox News is after me again, but this time they’re throwing eggs. I'm always amazed at the extremes to which right-wing outlets will go to stop talk of corporate greed. When it comes to the corporate monopolization of eggs, the people shouldn’t go over easy.https://robertreich.substack.com/p/when-fox-news-entered-the-hen-house?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=365422&post_id=98792675&isFreemail=false&utm_medium=email

Mmhmm

A top civil rights attorney is threatening to sue Gov. Ron #DeSantis over his administration's decision to reject an AP African American course from being offered to high schoolers.

The move comes as DeSantis, who objected to the course because he felt it had a political agenda by discussing topics like queer studies & abolishing prisons, claimed victory after the College Board said the program would get a "new framework," although it's unclear what tweaks will be made.

Of course it's a mistake for Facebook to restore Trump's account, on all kinds of levels. But the rancid extremism that he spews isn't the most dangerous part.

What's worst is the way he will use the platform to swindle so many gullible people -- yes, they should know better -- out of their money, to fuel his rancid extremism far beyond the site itself.
