But are they going to ban content from Tenet and their media figures? Those people were pushing Russian aligned talking points BEFORE Russia glommed on to them in order to try and hyper charge their messaging.

This ad from @vetsforresponsibleleadership is brutal.

But Trump is scum, and we shouldn’t be afraid to tell his supporters that. Because deep down, they know it too.

Claiming government officials’ texts are unavailable because they’re stored on personal phones is “just a dodge to try to avoid accountability,” EFF’s @aaronmackey told Louisville Public Media. “I think what it says is they don’t actually value transparency.”

looks like I didn’t know about that part. I’ve just added my domain there and tested. No changes so far, but yeah, perhaps it’s like DNS - it just needs some time to roll out.

Thanks for the heads up!

According to the outlet, the U.S. has been sending less military aid to Ukraine for several months now because their own stockpiles, such as 155mm ammunition and Patriot missiles, have been depleted.

The US is concerned about harming their own military readiness while their industry tries to ramp up production, which will take years.

@talksina ma no, figurati se la disabilità potrebbe spostare un solo voto.

Però mostra in tutto il suo splendore la reale capacità di comprendere la realtà e il contesto, da parte di certi personaggi, ritenuti peraltro molto preparati e molto intelligenti...

Did you or someone else try to install/use #Asahi for daily work yet? I've sometimes wondered whether #Apple hw would be interesting, but OTOH it would be again about paying also about software I would never use (like with Windows machines). While I've been able to buy #Dell and #Lenovo laptops with vendor supported #Linux for 10+ years, which is useful for "reference driver support" at minimum and for most that are not me fine OS by itself.
