I hate it when this happens
Okay, yeah, this seems to explain a lot of the FSF's toxicity and failure to grow/evolve.
RT @therealfitz@twitter.com
Thread: This tweet got me to thinking: is there a way to show just how broken the FSF is as an organization?
Is there a way to show how their board isn't really a functioning board, but rather an enabling body for RMS?

Call or write your Senators again today and demand they pass #S1, the For the People Act. It's the bill that will protect everyone's access to voting nationwide.
If you can afford to contribute, consider Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight. (https://fairfight.com/) I just made another donation "in honor" of the voter suppression bill that Kemp just passed.
There are also a number of other groups working on voting rights need out help in donations or volunteer work.
* Brennan Center for Justice (https://www.brennancenter.org/)
* NAACP (https://naacp.org/)
* League of Women Voters (https://www.lwv.org/) <-- LWV sponsors grassroots voter registration drives and fights for fair, nonpartisan redistricting- many chapters nationwide of Fair Districts.)
Republicans will keep trying to suppress the vote. We'll keep stopping them.
