If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Fascism is aesthetics before it is anything else. That essence is inexplicable to people who do not have a primarily intuitive orientation.
To defeat it, opponents must champion intuition in art, mutual aid, sexuality, & cooperation.

Conservatives in Alabama are literally starving the local public library of funding because it refuses to hide sex ed books, and novels that feature sex and masturbation, from teenagers.
They'd rather shut the library down than allow teens to access knowledge that contradicts dogma.

Important to note here that the FBI was able to access the chat because of an informant who was in the chat.
Your Signal chats are only secure if you know and trust the people in them.
But be careful not to spread this in a way that makes people think "Signal is not really encrypted." Unhelpful.

Remember this when you see scare headlines about the high rate of minors seeing “porn” online: They’re either not seeing it on porn sites or what they’re seeing isn’t actually porn.
It turns out minors not necessarily know what “porn” even is.
