It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

Identity theft doesn't need to hack your phone, it just needs your SSN from that data breach 3 years ago.

FREEZE YOUR CREDIT. It's free, takes 20 minutes, & prevents most financial fraud. All the encrypted apps in the world won't help if someone opens credit cards in your name.

Google quietly scrubbed its 2030 net-zero pledge from its website after AI data centers made those goals "impossible" 🤐

AI profits & data collection > climate promises

Signal just rolled out secure backups, a heavily requested feature!

If you don't have a custom domain, you don't really own your email inbox.

New service shuts down? Your address is gone forever. Provider changes terms? You're stuck. Want to switch? Good luck updating every account.

A $10/year domain gives you email independence for life.

Reminder: While we're debating whether Proton or Tutanota has better encryption, many people are still using Gmail with password123 and wondering how their bank account was drained.

The weeds are fun to be in, but don't forget to look up once in a while 🌿

🗣️ We need to keep fighting!! 🗽🇺🇸

Techlore @techlore.tech · Sep 10

The right to communicate privately. The right to access information. The right to not be surveilled 24/7. The right to control your own data.

These aren't luxuries, they're necessities for a free society. Keep fighting.

Big Tech stole the word "privacy" and turned it into marketing BS.

"We care about your privacy" → proceeds to harvest every data point about your existence

Time to take our word back. Real privacy means YOU control YOUR data. Not them deciding how much data they can steal.

That's exactly why we made this new video ⬇️

A beginner-friendly guide to encrypted services that helps people new to privacy get started. The more people using these tools, the stronger our collective pushback against the privacy = criminal narrative.

Politicians are working overtime to make "privacy" synonymous with "criminal activity"

Every time you choose to use a service that respects your data, you're proving them wrong. Normal people want privacy. You ARE the counter-narrative!

Garcia on Tom Homan: Yet he is somehow possibly taking a $50,000 bribe to steer contracts—while at the same time trying to deport everybody else. I think a few folks have said it, but it bears repeating: he should be self-deporting himself.

My friend in D.C. just texted me (I’m in AZ) that they didn’t air Jimmy Kimmel there. Sinclair🤬 She said they are airing a show called National News Desk and they were covering Turning Point. She said they just showed a commercial to join ICE.

The Borowitz Report @borowitzreport.bsky.social · 25d

If we’re going to have a “national day of remembrance,” as the Senate wants, let’s have it be for Virginia Giuffre—the child who worked at the Mar-a-Lago spa, was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell, and raped by Prince Andrew and others, eventually committing suicide. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
