  • Amen. Been saying this a while. He knew this shit was coming so he’s was prepared with this Ace up his sleeve.

    Step 1: get people addicted, monetize it to no end

    Step 2: cover it up and lie about it being fine, spread misinformation of you have to

    Step 3: plan a scapegoat tactic as a backup just in case. Maybe 2.

    Step 4: buy out politicians who’ll support you when it’s time to take action; like “age verification” as a redirect (as if the gov has ever fine anything promptly!)

    Step 5: Get the media to sort of drop coverage to get people to forget about it with other stuff, and watch the lawsuits and trials fade away into the background as there’s no more media coverage for it.









  • Soft on crime, cashless bail, banned 170+various firearms but doesn’t do anything against the “switches” being made or brought in for thugs to make their Glocks shoot full auto. I watched a video of 8th graders showing off their Glocks with extended mags (not "clips) and switches either in waist bands or backpacks, etc. A friggin joke. Paused taxes on gas and grocery last election, then raised it afterwards. He decriminalized knowingly having HIV and not disclosing it with partners. I think that hurts the LGBT community because it’s going to become more prevalent as the risk of spreading it increases.

    Yeah, IL has had a ton of bad governors, no doubt, but being less bad doesn’t make him good… Especially bc his policies are theater. He’s done nothing to benefit the city and surrounds of Chicago with those laws, just impacted law abiding citizens more negatively.

    I’m a big 1st & 2nd amendment believer and supporter, so he’s definitely not my first choice. Illinois was already far ahead of the nation with its background checks and conceal carry training retirements, but now he’s trying to serialize every box of ammo so it could be tracked? That’s definitely hindering or infringing on the 2nd and 4th amendments. Again, IF YOU’RE A CRIMINAL you’ll just buy from IN, MI, WI, MO, or IA, or steal it; so you’re not following the laws put in place, you don’t care… Only law abiding people are impacted.





  • Yeah, to add to that basically, security is layered. More than people realize…

    You’ve got the OS, the apps, the accounts used, the radio permissions tied up the drive out apps (WiFi, BT, NFC, GPS), search engines, web pages/browsers, the network (DNS especially), the IMEI (device ID) & IMSI (SIM ID), more too I’m sure.

    Fixing one doesn’t fix it all, like how many people used incognito mode on Chrome and thought that was actually private 🤣






  • Reading mode on Waterfox to bypass paywall:

    “Possess?” That single word means that owning a copy of Marx’s Das Kapital, or a pamphlet from a Palestinian solidarity group, or a battered paperback of Howard Zinn — or maybe even one of my books on the New Deal — would be enough to make a green-card holder or a naturalized citizen “inadmissible or deportable.”

    “Affiliated with?” That would prevent anybody who’s ever affiliated themselves with the Democratic Socialist Party in New York that Mamdami ran on behalf of (along with the normal Democratic Party; New York has fusion voting so you can run on two parties simultaneously) from staying in America. Gone to a meeting, rally, or put yourself on their mailing list? You’re toast.

    “Write?” That means they’re coming for me, and for you if you’ve ever echoed in writing the kind of sentiments that Republicans call socialism, including food stamps and school lunches, free college, public libraries, a national healthcare system, police and fire, and highways that don’t have tolls. (When billionaire David Koch ran for vice president in 1980 on an antisocialism agenda, he called for the end of all these forms of “socialism”.)

    “Distribute?” And they’d be coming for Substack, too, it appears. Along with your local bookstore or library.

    We haven’t seen anything this sweeping since the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, when then-President John Adams had roughly 30 newspaper editors and publishers thrown in prison for attacking him. Ben Franklin’s grandson was arrested for publishing an op-ed calling the president “old, querulous, Bald, blind, crippled, Toothless Adams.” A town drunk in New Jersey was arrested for criticizing him while imbibing in a bar. Adams’ overreach lost him the election of 1800 to his then-political enemy Thomas Jefferson, who openly opposed the Acts.

    But here we are again, and here’s another dangerous overreach on the GOP’s part in this legislation: Roy’s bill explicitly forbids judicial review of any inadmissibility, deportation, or denaturalization decision made under it.

    In other words, if this law passes, then no court can stop or second-guess the government: no habeas corpus, no meaningful appeals; just an order from the Attorney General or some twit at ICE or Homeland Security and you’re on a plane or stuck in a hellhole “detention facility,” possibly for the rest of your life.

    That’s not immigration policy, that’s the architecture of a police state, and it’s modeled on how the Nazis stripped citizenship from German Jews and political dissidents in 1935 under the Reich Citizenship Laws**.**
