Billionaires don't 'create jobs' - consumer demand creates jobs. Billionaires just hoard the profits those jobs generate.
Best News of the Year: We've stopped a backdoor law in France
Encryption backdoors must never be allowed. We at Tuta will continue to fight against mass surveillance! 
Bear in mind that while the Nazis built concentration camps everywhere they could (including the bits of the UK they'd occupied—the Channel Islands), the death camps were very specifically located *outside* Germany.
This pattern will be repeated. The worst atrocities will be conducted out of sight and out of cellphone coverage.

What is more silent than the silence over the USA's plunge into Fascism and its opening of militarised concentration camps in 3rd countries on a mass scale, to hold, degrade and abuse otherwise innocent immigrants with no due legal process
There are bourgois mutterings in the media, that's true, but the silence is in the lack of any heartfelt connection to the reality and scale of the crimes against humanity that are unfolding. The silence is from their hearts

According to an eyewitness who tried to intervene, a family walking their kids home from school in New York was snatched and abducted by ICE and NYPD officers in broad daylight last Friday.

![I was just detained by and my dog was assaulted by plainclothed ICE agents, along with undercover members of the NYPD I believe; while trying to intervene in an ICE abduction on my block. They refused to identify themselves, were masked, produced no signed warrant, and they were in an unmarked van. They literally snatched a family walking their kids home from school off the street, and then kicked my dog and cuffed me and my neighbors for asking questions. They illegally went through my phone, violated multiple Constitutional rights, and then sped off with a family and screaming kids in the back of a van to God knows where. If this can happen on a corner in Harlem at 5:30 in the afternoon, we are in big trouble guys. Protect yourselves and your neighbors any way you know how. I am absolutely heartbroken, enraged, and disgusted at what my country has become and if you don’t feel the same; you either aren’t paying attention or you are part of the problem.

Shortwave listeners noting China already taking over some frequencies used by VOA and RFA as USAGM has silenced its own transmitters. Especially critical with thousands of casualties in the Myanmar M7.7 quake where survivors would normally be receiving vital info from our Burmese language services.
The new administration has vowed to reduce wasteful government spending, so I made this guide to help people understand how that works.

#April5 #HandsOff protest will not topple the regime. But it is a necessary step for keeping truth and democracy alive. Here’s what we can accomplish:
1. Cultivate active, engaged citizenship.
2. Build and foster broad solidarity.
3. Incentivize political leadership.
4. Take control of the narrative.
5. Signal to non-Americans that we are not done yet.
5. Take the temperature of police and security forces.
6. Enact a culture of non-violence.
Check your area.
Hands Off!Hands Off!Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands Off!

This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administration’s ‘climate’ purge.
