  • I feel like US telecommunication networks were always vulnerable because they were always intentionally insecure so that the US government could illegally wiretap and spy on its own people. Then they later passed laws that conveniently threw the 4th amendment in the trash so it would all be legal.

    But I’m sure the new US president will get right on it and appoint someone like Elon Musk to handle cybersecurity and intelligence, because he is “very good with the cyber”.

    God, I want off this fucking nightmare train.











  • Precisely. People have had 8+ years of Trump showing and telling everyone exactly who is and what he will do. Anyone who voted for him knew – or should have known – who and what they were voting for. You’d have to be willfully ignorant not to know who Trump and MAGA are by now.

    I know of no valid excuses this time. Ignorance is not an excuse. People knew trump is a monster when they voted for him; they don’t care. But many have so little understanding of how badly a second Trump admin will hurt everyone and everything. The “now concerned” trump voters just wanted change, but they voted for fascism.




  • We saw what Trump did last time he was in office, and it was really bad, but it was recoverable.

    Except putting people in cages at the border and separating children from families. Many families still have not been reunited.

    Except the million people that died from Covid-19 due to the government putting the economy over human lives.

    Except the stuffing of judicial positions, including the supreme court, that same court that basically made him a king and free from any consequences from all the laws he broke.

    Except for our air, land, food and water becoming more toxic and polluted due to Trump’s rollback of EPA protections.

    Except all the pregnant women who are dying or forced to carry their rapist’s baby due to that packed court overturning roe v wade.

    Except the people of color who rebelled and rioted during the george floyd protests but then the government showed up in unmarked vans and took people away, while the police shot more innocent people and busted heads, and almost nothing changed for the better regarding police violence.

    Except the trans people who are now illegal in the state of Florida for having a driver’s license that matches their gender identity, or the bounty on trans people in a town in Texas, or the governor of Texas trying to get lists of trans people to hunt down and prosecute. Or insurance companies refusing to cover trans-related healthcare. Or trans people being shunned by their peers and excluded from sports. Or the violence against LGBTQ people that’s doubled in the last year. All enabled and emboldened by Trump and Trumpism.

    I haven’t recovered from any of this shit.

    With or without Trump, the new normal is fascism in America. Every american needs to fight every bad policy, every bad law, every bad decision, every threat – every day – until there are no more fascists in power.
