We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the Trump regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground. Now is the time for all of us to become activists. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-start-of-week-14

Finally watched @felixkjellberg.bsky.social "I installed Linux" video. Don't know what I was expecting... but wasn't expecting a great list of reasons why, in 2025, you should stop using Windows and install Linux—he even mentions how to use systemd-analyze! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVI_...

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

@stephenking.bsky.social I wrote you a letter when I was 13 after reading The Stand. I told you that it was my favorite so far and mentioned a few other books I had read. I got a postcard back asking if my parents knew I was reading your books. Would have been back in 1978 when it came out.

I'm going to install LMDE 7 on my 2015 15" MacBook Pro once it's released. It currently has Linux Mint 22.1 on it. Since I use Debian 12 on my main desktop, I'd like to switch to the Debian-based version of Linux Mint on the laptop as well.

President Bukele of El Salvador says it’s “preposterous” and he will not release Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S. (the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported last month - alongside 136 other men who did not receive due process). This is a heinous crime! (1/2)

Good trade policy means protecting US farmers and workers, selling more American goods abroad, and lowering costs for families. None of that is what Donald Trump has done with his tariffs.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
