@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

This post is generating a lot traffic on #DailyKos -- Dems keep asking for our support and cash, yet they aren't going to the mat for #Democracy or the working class! Every one of tRump's appointees should have been dragged through cloture votes, yet when you see Rubio getting 99 votes approving his appointment, that tells me some of the 45 democratic senators aren't listening or give a shit!

#ToddBlanche, Trump’s nom for the No. 2 job at the #DOJ & another one if his #criminal defense attys, decried at his #confirmation hearing what he called “partisan lawfare” waged against #Trump.

Blanche’s opening statement was an attack on the cases against Trump. “Politics should never play a role in the Department of Justice, but recently, in too many circumstances, it has,” he said [ –he’s right, just not in the way that he thinks.]

#DarrenBeattie spread #ConspiracyTheories about the #Jan6 #insurrection & posted on social media that "competent white men must be in charge" yet MarcoRubio tapped him to be acting undersecretary of state for public #diplomacy. The position requires #Senate #confirmation [like that means anything].

Darren J. Beattie social media post: “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”

"Throughout, #Vought’s disregard for the #confirmation process was evident in his unwillingness to engage with any substantive concerns about his plans or intentions. The hearing was a brutal display of how far the legislative branch has fallen from its place of prominence in the Constitution, as #GOP senators eagerly embraced a man who would prefer to see them made obsolete."
