Trump’s second judicial slate is pure corruption—a blatant power grab to shove extremists onto the bench who serve only Trump’s agenda. This is an attack on our justice system and a threat to democracy. We cannot let this stand. #NoMoreTrumpJudges #ProtectDemocracy

SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE TIP
#BlueStateResistance #ProtectDemocracy
@thedemocrats @DSCC
Big Tech prioritizes profit over democracy. Their algorithms amplify hate and polarization, undermine public debate, and can even manipulate elections. Using social media consciously-such as employing ad blockers and being aware of algorithmic influence-is an act of defending democracy. Open-source and decentralized platforms are essential for a free and open digital public sphere. #ProtectDemocracy #StopBigTech #OpenSource #Decentralization #SocialMedia #fckafd #unplugtrump
Hello, readers and followers.
Last week, feeling rather bored, I decided to write a small script to assist in identifying centralised servers within the fediverse.
This is particularly useful as the fediverse is intended to be free, open, and decentralised, in order to safeguard democracy, free speech, and, most importantly, to protect democracy and human freedom, which are fundamental human rights and online privacy.
At this stage, the script identifies centralised and privacy-invasive servers operating on the #MITM networks of AWS, CloudFlare, and Azure (Microsoft). By now, we should all be aware that these networks are detrimental to privacy, as they do everything possible to identify you for the purpose of collecting your Personally Identifiable Information (PII), fingerprinting your browsers, and censoring the internet for those who refuse to be part of the walled garden.
The results from running the collection of previously connected servers to my fediverse instance are as in the file attached

If you're in the US or threatened by the US, Please take some time around noon today to demonstrate your support for continued USA democracy.
When a government detains people without evidence and expects blind obedience, democracy is under threat.
