“In the end, it’s not the greatest consolation on earth to find out that the people who wrecked 10 years of your work and your career are a bunch of galaxy-level dipshits.”
"For 17 months, the State Department has promised to deliver proof of a long-promoted conspiracy theory about its own agency: that its officials routinely censored conservative Americans. This week, it failed that mission, as [Under Sec'y Rogers] released a trove of documents that proved nothing."
The State Department promised proof of a censorship conspiracy. The plan backfired.
The State Department leaked documents to prove that officials were censoring conservative Americans. It outed a secret Pentagon employee instead.

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen.

Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

#PrivacyFirst #HumanRights tools like ours should be public goods. They’re not, which is why we must reclaim how #InternetFreedom is funded.

This funding campaign is as participatory, decentralized, and resilient as our #FLOSS work, liberating us from single point-of-failure legacy funding models.⬇️
In partnership with Funding the Commons we are excited to launch a new crowdfunding initiative benefitting 10 internet freedom projects at internetfreedom.torproject.org.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared
