They made it come true. They've been trying for decades and finally found the thousands of people they could pay to corrupt our presidency, courts, churches, legislative, law enforcement and security.

Ties to Russia. Infiltration by white supremacists. Interference in our elections. It's time the FBI gets more *ACTUAL* oversight. What can we do as a nation to provide that oversight?

I finally upgraded to #macOS Ventura, mostly to see if it fixes my vanishing/reappearing files problem. My gods this OS is a shitshow still. Here’s the display settings, where my 3 displays don’t even fit in the tiny window so I have scroll horizontally.

India has banned a BBC documentary critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s alleged role in deadly riots more than 20 years ago from being shown in the country.

HUGE VICTORY for freedom of expression - for authors' rights, children's rights, #LGBTQ+ rights, everyone - in the European Court of Human Rights today.

please share widely!

#Lithuania first banned & then imposed a warning label of a book of fairy tales that, among other things, depicted same sex relationships in a positive light.
