We must not settle for “liberty and justice for some”. Defend democracy, and resist efforts to divide this nation!

trump running the US; the EU’s right-shift means a retreat from leadership and is making defense of Ukraine politically untenable. We’ve not learned from history, and we’ll pay a greater price. Infuriating.

Yes, encryption relies on the problem being so complicated that it can’t be solved. Quantum computers can and will be far more destructive than other tech, simply because there will be no way to secure anything.

There’s a lot to unpack here; first, how can a wheel chair cost as much as compact car? Who is overseeing this? If private healthcare insurance companies so great at negotiating… is it easier to just deny the DME?

Are we really surprised? Over and over, the breadcrumbs lead back to Russia. Why?

Mr Litman is showing ethical and moral leadership… sadly, that seems almost quaint in this shitshow of America’s current state…

Without disagreeing, the opposing party always finds pardons distasteful (not making moral comparisons, but its true). There's no rational reason to give pardon power to any one person. Used for only rich/connected - people of modest means have little chance of a pardon, thus inherently unfair.

Hmmm... who could have done this... could it be SATAN /s Seriously, this is getting increasingly dangerous. We almost certainly know the "whodunnit" the question is, what response the world takes to these saboteurs?

The broader question is: why should a democracy with a court system allow ANY President (or Governor) to pardon anyone. The pardon process essentially provides the rich and politically powerful a get out of jail free card. Further, this implies that it's ok, because the other side did, will, might.

Wait, there are eggs in the bathroom? OMG it’s a scandal! Eggs must stay in crates, and never be allowed in the bathroom! Speaker Johnson, this is clearly the most important issue of all times! /s

Even if the tariffs had the bulk of the direct effect on the other countries, it would drive inflation. When the cost on the import is higher (due to the tariffs) then demand shifts to the domestic providers who gain pricing power, which they of course will use, resulting in higher prices. Basic.

Yes, and in a related story, Trump still doesn’t understand how tariffs are not a tax on countries - it’s a pass through tax in consumers… sigh…

Increasing reports of polio found in waste water underscores the point. Many diseases that were defeated by vaccines are returning due to false claims, disinformation and science illiteracy.

So this is tolerance? Labeling entities swaths of people with the same description? Re: your other post here… Vaccines are not an opinion; until people starting listening to opinions rather than science, Polio was essentially eradicated in humans…now it’s returning… to unvaccinated people…

Yeah… crushing it UK! 🇬🇧. Brexit was the work of isolationists fueled by disinformation from domestic and international bad actors… and now what? How’d that work out? Johnson led 🇬🇧 into an economic quagmire that’ll last for decades…

It’s the stuff of business consultants - they always have a side in their deck that says that to work more collaboratively… “stop working in silos” sends it spokes here?😊

Sadly, Orwell is starting to look quaint these days. The world might have learned its lesson from the millions that have died fighting Fascism, autocratic rule and the politics of division. Yet here we are again, except the greater tools to accelerate the harm.

Clearly, you need to stop reading and listening to ms media and do your own research. The world is flat, otherwise we’d fall into space. See? /s

I don’t want to presume, but if you’re a woman, Mary, the courts have already told you - women have no right to decide what happens to their bodies. So, there’s that… ya know?
