Why is the CIA so obsessed with silencing Julian Assange? 🤔

the government has done such a good job solving our problems boy howdy we should probably just give those rock stars even more power to determine the outcome of our lives

This is the end of the case against Julian Assange. stundin.is/grein/13627/ke…

Governments claiming the authority to *freeze people's bank accounts* because they want to crush a protest movement is tyrannical and obscene. If you would oppose China or Russia doing it, you must oppose Canada doing it.
Very glad @cancivlib exists.

There is a strain of wealthy VC-guy who pretends to do you a favor by "warning" against Bitcoin (or whatever) while hyping centralized garbage-coins that they coincidentally happen to own an enormous stake in.
If you ever make it, don't be that guy. If you are that guy, change.

If truth is the first casualty of war, humanity is the second. It is depressing to witness how readily people—and states—embrace the cultivation of ethnic and nationalist hatreds for political advantage. Rather than hastening peace, these strategies forbid it.

Facebook's vision of VR is a derivative, lifeless world full of derivative, lifeless people.
On-brand, really.

In seven years, no one has named a single American who died as a result of revealing the unlawful program of domestic mass surveillance—because it didn't happen. But exposing that crime did reform American laws—and strengthen our rights. twitter.com/LindseyGrahamS…

Do you remember the "institutional" and social media corpo response in the first half of 2020 when someone contradicted the consensus? They were punished for the "crime" of "disinformation."
Corporations must never again be permitted to police speech.

America's political power struggle has never been about conservative versus liberal as much as the owner versus the owned. The whole Washington opera consists of two costumes shared by the same club—and you'll never be a member.
Don't let them divide you from your neighbor.

It's time to talk about shutting down the Department of Homeland Security. It was always a mistake, a costly artifact of the hysteric post-9/11 authoritarianism that left us no more safe, but much less free.
Its plan to become the Speech Police is the final straw.
Shut it down. twitter.com/ACLU/status/15…

This is absolutely tyrannical. The EU is trying to outlaw any cash transaction over €10,000—which at the current rate of inflation will probably buy you half a shawarma in a decade.
They're claiming this is to protect you. To protect you!

Once upon a time, just *copying* a top secret document was enough to get you prosecuted.

VC guys keep trying to make cryptocurrency a global standard by spending billions to invent less-attractive versions of Bitcoin, instead of just buying payment-system companies to make the most common cash registers and apps support crypto payments by default.
Pro-gamer move.
