  1. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)

  3. #Voter #suppression #disenfranchisement is very real in the #USA

    What kind blows my mind is the reaction from some whiny cynical types: "that's why I'm not #voting"

    😂

    What?

    Somebody malicious wants something from you, so you give it to them?

    I also don't endorse this guy's response, but I give him points for attitude:

    Don't get sad and resign

    Get mad and act

    (And by act, I mean many things, but you still #vote, dum dums)

  5. Today’s Toronto Star landmark investigation into Mount Sinai Health isn’t just exposing a scandal, it’s a case study in how Canadian medicine enforces alignment with a Zionist pro-Israel political agenda during the genocide in Palestine. Medicine is not neutral!

    At Mt. Sinai Health:

    Doctors who spoke about Palestinian lives → faced consequences

    Doctors who defended Israel and targeted others → were protected

    This isn’t about “professionalism.” It’s about power. Who gets protected. Who gets silenced. What becomes unspeakable. Whose lives matter.

    This is an prenatal unit at Mount Sinai, a hospital in the most diverse city in Canada. Imagine being a Palestinian / Arab / Muslim parent walking into that space.

  7. The few democrats that exist in the Tennessee legislature were removed from their committees for protesting against the corruption, the hostile takeover, and obvious racism and transphobia by their colleagues. Tennessee is a Jim Crow state.

    Tennessee just signed into law the TRANS DATA COLLECTION bill.

    If you spend your money in Tennessee, you are funding the hate.

  9. “Without that review and without apolitical, objective, honest brokers involved in the process, there is a much greater risk for intentional manipulation or inadvertent interference,”

    Any excellent and depressing report by ProPubica. Outlook is cloudy.

  11. @Zubair123kk @EUCommission Surely you can trap the human spirit! You can even murder the body where human spirit resides and throw it into mass graves or incinerators, as was proven by a past regime in "civilized" Germany or the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia where I personally visited the mass graves with earth subsiding as corpses are decomposing and tower filled with human skulls!

    I wonder whether EU is inspiring themselves by these regimes when they are creating such checklists?

    "Stop the spread of disinformation" - sounds to me exactly like coming out of the mouth of the Cambodian IMO dictator Hun Sen / Hun Manet when they are IMO saying that the opposition are terrorists and IMO threating them with shooting them into pieces by a BM Grad rocket launcher, should they return from the exile!

    I guess I just violated the "Be cautious of strong emotional content" EU checklist item because suppression of free speech leads to dictatorships, these lead to atrocities, and these lead to strong emotions of anger, contempt and grief, so instead of solving the root problem, suppression of free speech, we will suppress those strong emotions in people who dare to criticize these processes, as EU is suggesting!

  13. A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

    I am very wary of those individuals who are neither writers nor editors nor even, in some cases, readers, who feel that they have the right to apply their own moral criteria to the books in public and school libraries. I have enormous respect and admiration and love for the librarians who are rising up to protest this, because they are putting their very jobs on the line.

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

    #Suppression of legal #voting in #texas area:

    “The confusion came after a rule change for #primary voting. For the first time in years, the Dallas and Williamson county Republican parties refused to agree to a joint primary election, meaning that Democratic and Republican voters would not vote at a centralized site, as they had done in previous elections.

    “Both Dallas and Williamson county voters have grown accustomed to countywide voting, including on election day,” Crockett said in a statement on Tuesday. “This effort to suppress the vote, to confuse and inconvenience voters is having its intended effect as people are being turned away from the polls.”

    Eventually Texas’s supreme court stepped in – further muddying the waters. The state’s highest court ordered that Dallas county separate any votes cast by voters who were not in line by 7pm.

    “It does set a precedent that Republicans can continue to do this and get away with it,” Kendall Scudder, chair of the Texas Democratic party said. “But the truth is this didn’t happen overnight. This has been legal policy that Republicans have been pushing for years to culminate to a point that administering an election becomes unfunctional.”
