Masking is a critical component of resistance in 2024.
Hot take: the most valuable aspect of the fedi is not AP or any protocol level stuff, but the premise that people build communication and sharing software and infrastructure that's entirely non-capitalist in nature and designed to interoperate for the benefit of the users, who own all their data and aren't licensing or donating it to any platform.
As long as I've been following politics, dems in power have been undermining ppl fighting for human rights.
That's the fucking truth of it.
We would be in a different world if the people fighting hadn't been undermined at every turn.
I hate those bastards.
@SimplySarah "They don't even have to shout slogans. They don't have to block traffic." Yes, they do.
Clearly, they are in a location Amazon does not like them being in; otherwise Amazon would not be attacking them with water and sewage.

I'm an anarchist, and with that comes a commitment to "no heroes." But in a society that rewards, even worships the cruelest, greediest, most selfish, most violent, most power-mad sociopaths because of the size of their bank account and the political power it allows them to wield, you'll have to forgive me if I don't get bent out of shape that the kids love Luigi.
Me? I don't have heroes. But folks who'd give Elon Musk a handie if he asked don't get to tell me about "bad heroes."
Y'know, I still sometimes see people call Spotify better than piracy, but I don't know about that anymore. Now that they've demonetized so many tracks... if you pirate music, at least you know the artist isn't getting paid and you might buy it someday. Someone who streams music thinks they paid for it, and they'll never go buy it afterwards.
Today in Labor History December 22, 2010: President Obama signed the repeal of the Don't ask, don't tell policy. The 17-year-old law banned LGBTQ people from serving openly in the U.S. military. Now LGBTQ people can serve openly and kill innocent civilians throughout the world for the benefit of American corporations, just like their straight sisters and brothers.
