I'd like to see the resulting hilarity if Michigan bans VPNs.

No one could telecommute.

To fix a problem on a remote server, the tech would have to drive to that facility.

Subcontractors would have to work onsite.

That's not how it's worked for a long time.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Huge mistake by Trump to let the 4'10 freak Stephen Miller take center stage during his Presidency. The more people hear and see from Mini Himmler the more they are repulsed. Plus the ICE raids are horrific and inhumane.

Maybe this is a new thing they do but I can’t recall ever quoting a ‘cardiac age’ to any patient, even on insurance physicals. With tRump he usually finds a way to tip his hand, I think he’s got some serious heart issues with his exactly “14 years younger” cardiac status.

Oppression has always been our greatest enemy. We battled it with a King. We failed to see it in ourselves and it's eaten away at our democracy as we watched.

If our founders were alive today, and we can all agree to work towards fighting oppression,...

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

Again:
1) If the RIFs are illegal, "We are going to divert appropriated funds to pay Da Troops" is double mega illegal, and that actually matters.
2) The military's payment system is so baroque I'm not sure it's even possible to do this
3) They just keep blowing up their own leverage.

One of America’s bloodiest labor battles, the Homestead Strike left 10 dead and 60+ wounded.

Workers were expecting negotiations. But Carnegie’s partner Frick sent hundreds of Pinkertons with rifles and a Gatling gun to retake the steelworks.

Those of us who served in the military know that dogs were some of the best partners we could ever wish for, and many were real heroes. For Kristi Noem's CBP agents to be shooting a family dog in this way -- and then leaving the scene -- is disgusting.

Of course, someone (Congress) has to enforce the Constitution for it to do any good.

Stephen Miller is a weak lying douchebag Nat-C authoritarian who despises the US Constitution, and his dangerous statement that a POTUS has “plenary authority” tells any constitutionally-bound American he is just that. Our Constitution clearly defines the powers of the President.

In his words ….

“Well, they did sign up for it actually, and this is what I campaigned on.”

For all the people leaving maga saying, “we didn’t know it would be this bad, he deceived us.”

No he didn’t, he was pretty clear.

You just didn’t care until it affected you.

Agreed. I dont think a lot of young men, especially, are going to notice them (and potentially vote for them) if they don't engage and show that they can fight.

This doesn't help.
As long as Dem officials are too chicken to appear on right-wing media platforms & call out the lies, there is no hope for us.
We need to stop giving Dem leadership a pass.
