@Teri_Kanefield I think what stood out to a lot of us is that McGonigal worked in the NY FBI field office in 2016...the office that leaked damaging info about Hillary Clinton, which was very much in Trump's and Russia's interest. How much of this case is based on a referral from IG Horowitz?

I'm sorry, but you can't *always* be experiencing a higher volume of calls than average.

That's not how averages work.

Me, in a toot: This thing here that’s happening is horrible.

Some random reply person: Oh, what about this other thing there you didn’t mention in your toot? I guess you’re fine with that injustice then, you bigot!

What the fuck is wrong with some of you? You’re manufacturing minutiae to rage at each other with instead of banding together to form bulwarks against the wave of fascism headed our way. There’s enough to be furious about without having to invent outrage from out of thin air, FFS!

@victoriastrauss Every day, we learn more about the Fascism in Florida. Again I ask, why does our country allow a Governor to be a ruthless dictator?

In one Florida county, teachers are being told to remove "unvetted" classroom libraries or risk felony prosecution, thx to Ron DeSantis's new "anti-woke" laws #bookbanning #WritingCommunity #Publishing https://popular.info/p/florida-teachers-told-to-remove-books

A broad coalition of news organizations is urging a #Fulton County judge to make public a special purpose grand jury’s report on whether #Trump and his allies violated #Georgia law after the 2020 election. #legal

I believe the usual call from his people would be, “Deport him!”

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. One of Modi's advisers says YouTube and Twitter have complied with the order to block it: https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/23/business-india/india-modi-bbc-documentary-twitter-youtube-censorship-intl-hnk/index.html

A few days ago I posted an open Google Doc here and encouraged folks to jump in to brainstorm feature ideas for Mastodon/Fediverse social apps. There are now 6 pages of smart, good ideas, and growing... check it out and add if you have a good one! And pls boost/share with others as you see fit. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EnkjkSW14hR_uTdwEW7vqRaaIXDMlNQ4WRNoPmnn_z0/edit?pli=1#

This is so incredibly stupid. Utah is suing social media companies for vague "harms to children." The attempt to "Disneyfy" the internet continues.

One way or another, Garland's dithering gives Trump options to avoid accountability either w/ this scenario or one of many others. Of course, this inept coward may just tell SC Smith that he won't authorize any charges. Garland has already passed on everything but 1/6 & MAL docs.

The Arizona governor, the secretary of state, and the attorney general are all Democrats as of the 2022 elections. Arizona state organizers have done an excellent job and I believe in them to continue their truly impressive work.

Ruben Gallego has long been a consistent representative for the Arizonans who elected him and I wish him the best with his campaign.

Democrat Ruben Gallego to run for Kyrsten Sinema's Senate seat-

@AmericanScream @spaf Or motivated enough. Working at McDonald's is actual work...

AT&T's own litigiousness helped make Unix obscure for the biggest emerging market for the time and instead helped Microsoft gain significant market ground on their own turf. It's not that Unix-proper is or was irrelevant, but it went from being ubiquitous to niche due to the missed or squandered opportunities, which led to the rise of Linux as the major alternative.
