I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Arrested… a Teacher… for clapping. How much investment do these city & municipal governments have to have in these data center companies— or what manner of leverage do they have OVER these city & municipal governments— for them to be imposing such draconian measures on anyone speaking against them?

Steyer: I have a strong anti-ICE platform. I think they are a criminal organization, and we have a very strong plan when it comes to prosecuting them. You don’t have to trust me. The head of ICE went online to say that my program is unfair to ICE agents, and I took that as a huge compliment.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

"When they come after trans people[...] not only are they licensing discrimination against trans people, they're sanctioning gender policing that we know in reality actually disproportionately targets non-transgender women." - CEC Co-Chair @mcbride.house.gov
Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Sarah McBride: At the end of the day, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, and sexism are all rooted in the same prejudice: the belief that one perception at birth should dictate who you are, how you act, what you do, who you love, and how you dress. And it's why threats towards trans people are threats towards all women.""Because when they use trans people as the tip of the spear, when they come after trans people as they're doing right now using us as a political wedge issue, using people like me, using me—as you mentioned—as a political pawn,""not only are they licensing discrimination against trans people, they're sanctioning gender policing that we know in reality actually disproportionately targets non-transgender women."

We all bemoan the death of places we can go without spending money. Knowledge cartels already exist (see academic publishing) but this is an enclosure of the *process* of thinking. As such, it's actually a logical extension of Enlightenment thinking re the individual as enclosed body

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:
I'm sorry, I know this is not your problem, but I just felt like screaming into a void seeing that now Dems may cave and end the shutdown without getting anything they were supposedly fighting for. We've been put through hell for weeks, constantly having our ability to simply feed ourselves dangled in front of our faces, our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing. They stood for nothing. They caused suffering for no reason. They'll cause even more suffering for no reason. 

It wasn't 40 million people starving that made them cave. They were willing to put up with that. But the threat of holiday traveling being disrupted seems to be the thing to push them to give in. They have failed everyone. I'm so angry.
