  1. Have you paid your road tax… or are you feeling brave today?

    You might need one of these.

    Print it. Stick it on your vehicle
    (for laughs, obviously).

    If nothing else, imagine the face of the parking officer turning up 😂

    I use one in my van 😁

    The fact is: your vehicle is private property!

    It's not a mistake. It's quite deliberate. I don't know what it takes for people to realize that the Democrats are just Republicans in drag, serving the same fascist oligarchs. But deluding yourself into thinking that the Democrats will somehow make anything better is simply pathetic.

    They don't do it. They never do it. Even when they have supermajorities AND the presidency, they don't do it. If anything they use their power to advance the cause of fascism even more strongly than the Republicans do when they're in power.

    "Look forward, not back". That was the excuse the Democrats gave for not investigating (much less prosecuting) torture and war crimes. They support Israel's genocide of children in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. They enabled the surveillance state well before Trump was on the horizon. Obama gave himself the unaccountable power to kill anyone, anywhere, for any reason—and used that power to kill a 16-year-old American child, along with uncountable numbers of children and innocent civilians in the Middle East.

    Democrats are fascists, just like the Republicans. If you can't see that, you're part of the problem.

  3. Attributing systemic issues to single individuals because they are the tip of the iceberg and the epitome is just a smokescreen. Right—the fish might stink from the head, though the head isn't in a vacuum, and it's not only the emperor who has no clothes #WakeUp #LookUp

  4. @nixCraft Since you mention "sell everyone kids data" - this came out just last week:

    "Hugh Grant, Jonathan Haidt and Sophie Winkleman discuss BigTech addicting our children to screens"

    I can confirm 100% of what they're saying, as us #FOSS people have seen that (and more) coming for 20+ years now.

    It's time.

  5. If you are a parent or work in education, and see/feel what "Big Tech" is doing to us - and our kids for too long - please watch and forward this:
