In 2014, Ursula Le Guin said: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
TechDirt:

But what’s happening now is even more extreme and more terrifying. Something that even experts in democratic collapse didn’t see coming. Normally when democracies fall apart, there’s also a playbook. A series of predictable steps involving the military, or the courts, or sometimes both.
But Do We Still Need Gov't Intervention To Open Mobile Networks?
A month and a half ago, Walt Mossberg wrote up an article saying that government intervention was needed to get US mobile phone operators to open up their networks. I took issue with that notion, n…

ICE is nothing short of a government sanctioned terrorist organization. Everyone of them belongs in one of their concentration camps. Noem can lead the way.

We live in the northeast. Our monthly gas and electric bill, thanks to our solar panels, hovered around the $250 mark for the last four years. January’s bill? $1257 thanks to…THE TARIFFS!! It seems Canada supplies our electricity.I expected a cardiac event over our insurance costs, but electricity??

It may feel like the whole idea of protecting yourself online is too big of an issue to tackle. But we can take small steps to better protect our own privacy and build an online space that feels as free and safe as speaking with those close to us in the offline world. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Q: “Why do you think Trump is working so hard to stop the Epstein files from coming out?”

REPUBLICAN Rep. Massie: “These files implicate billionaires, friends of Trump, political donors — and Epstein had ties to 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 intelligence agencies.”

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Forcing the AG to publicly defend every redaction, line-by-line, would be a fun exercise.

I mean it seems like the administration just keeps stepping on rakes. By releasing a buffoonishly redacted and incomplete set of docs they just prolong the story and suspicion. What’s the strategy here?

This is 100% important reporting and if Clinton is involved in burying this I hope he answers for it fully.

But… please tell me the Times isn’t ignoring the fact that the Clinton-centric disclosure is very intentional and that these files have clearly been scrubbed of any appearances by Trump

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

The issue is not that we don't talk to each other. It's that some people think that "talking" means getting to debate your existence, and that's abusive and controlling.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.
