he’s grown increasingly frustrated with the Republican’s unwillingness to listen to constituents and bills that limit individual #freedoms...

recent legislation targeting ballot initiatives, public employee unions, #LGBTQ Utahns & #immigration.

"Concerned at the UK Government’s intentions to review the #HumanRights framework and #JudicialReview we have come together to state:

While every system could be improved, and protecting #rights and #freedoms for all is a balancing act, our #HumanRightsAct is a proportionate and well-drafted protection for the fundamental #liberties and #responsibilities of everyone in this country.

The Act guarantees the rights to #FreeSpeech and expression, to life, to #liberty, to security, to privacy, to assembly, and to #FreedomOfReligion or belief. It prohibits torture and guarantees fair trials and the #RuleOfLaw.

Judicial review is an indispensable mechanism for individuals to assert those rights and freedoms against the power of the state." humanrightsact.org.uk/

Um, uh, you know, David, there are no off years.
There are elections in even years and in odd years.
As I know you know, some of the elections this odd numbered year are extremely important for the #Freedoms of people living in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
These would be State Supreme Court elections.

Local press accuses city officials of secrecy. Officials sue, to silence local press, not feeling ironic at all. Judge sides with the fascists! Orders paper to remove editorial! Paper will appeal. Wowza.

"#MySpace pages, Media player skins, the eye searingly gaudy hot dog stand theme. These all were vectors for #selfexpression. But to offer these #freedoms, you have to trust the person operating your system, honour their agency, and respect them as a serious intellectual partner instead of a gibbering idiot to be manipulated for your own ends.
…personal computing needs to make a firm return to normative #design practises.
#TheUser is dead. Long live #PersonalComputing!"

I think the greatest #tragedy when you have #rights in a #society is how rarely people actually use their #freedoms in life.

Entities will trap you over time if you aren't careful, and you'll end up their slave without knowing because of #propaganda #debt and #misinformation for their #power and profit.

Eventually they gain all your power, time, #wealth, and possibly #health, and erode your freedoms you never chose to use.

They didn't think you wanted them still.

“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” — President Of USA

I feel like I've been here before

click.actionnetwork.orgSign to tell President Biden: Publish the Equal Rights Amendment now! Millions of Americans’ lives, rights, and bodies are on the line as we near Trump’s second presidential term. He’s threatened the rights of so many of us, including women, LGBTQ+ people, sexual assault survivors, and anyone who can get pregnant. But we have an important tool to fight for abortion access, gender-affirming care, improved Black maternal healthcare, equity in the workplace, and more: the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If officially part of our Constitution, this would establish equal rights regardless of sex or gender—a powerful tool that we could use to fight for the fundamental rights and freedoms of a majority of Americans. This constitutional amendment has met the requirements to be an official part of the Constitution: It’s been approved in 38 states and passed by 2/3 of Congress. We just need President Biden to act. That’s why more than 120 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter urging the president to certify and publish the Equal Rights Amendment now. Add your name to demand President Biden publish the Equal Rights Amendment before he leaves the White House later this month.
