What would you have Barack and Michelle Obama do?

You’re worried about privacy, and your answer is Rednote?

Most of the people here left Reddit on purpose, so you may be asking the wrong crowd. What I think you should do is never give Reddit another thought and share content here instead

I very much agree, but also (though this is the lowest of low bars) I do appreciate Jamie Dimon not going full sycophant like we’ve seen from other C suites across the country

So you’re saying soldiers should have no.personal lives …

I would very much prefer my military be composed of soldiers with tethers to reality rather than be purely antisocial loners. If Trump gives an abhorrent order to attack domestically, soldiers like this man will be the ones to stand up and refuse

You’re focused on the wrong thing here

It may be nice to imagine, but as long as the US continues to pay interest on Treasury bonds, US Treasuries will not be viewed as a “sinking ship.” Divestment in this case would be purely a political decision

When you hear reported [Japan] owns [$x.xx] in US Treasuries, that figure isn’t a monolith. The Japanese government owns some, and Japanese corporations own some, and the Japanese people individually own some, and more. It would have to be a collective effort, and there would realistically need to be a financially sound alternative place for them to safely park their money

While there’s plenty to criticize about the founding of the US, eg the northern colonies having to compromise with the southern colonies on slavery, the reality is that expanding voting power to all white land-owning men was a pretty revolutionary concept at the time, where prior to that, power in European culture almost universally derived from birthright. The US Constitution also set us on a course where voting power has continually been expanded and now encompasses all US citizens.

Unfortunately, forces are trying to consolidate power for a small group again, and our system of voting has been continually undermined for about 40 years through the rolling back of voting rights and severe gerrymandering, to where the general public is losing power over our government.

My grandmother was born in 1922, and there were people who had been slaves and people who had been slaveholders still around for her entire childhood in the US south

Is this real? I keep having to ask this…

Edit:

I tried really hard to understand what you’re trying to say, but failed

The fuck’s with your beef? This is just one article he wrote. The guys written hundreds of pieces, maybe thousands, about all sorts of technology related issues

He also has a ton of experience in this space, he’s worked for the Electronic Frontier Foundation for almost 25 years. On top of that, he’s whip-smart and enjoyable to read or listen to

Again, did you even read the oped

He’s actually built a career on being an author…

To be fair, all Trump has done on this is espew rhetoric also

You think Tim.Walz is going to use the National Guard against the protestors? The entire point of him calling them to duty is to protect the protestors

Minnesota DPS noted that the National Guard will not be deployed to the streets of Minneapolis at this time, but units will remain on standby, ready to help maintain public safety and protect peaceful protestors gathering within the Twin Cities.

As Vázquez prepared to enter the federal courthouse in the Puerto Rican capital of San Juan, she told reporters that the last three years have been “terrible,” adding that the accusations against her were untrue.

Former Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez pleaded guilty Wednesday to a campaign finance violation in a federal case that authorities say also involved a former FBI agent and a Venezuelan banker.

Minneapolis police said in an email to Reuters they were aware of Lang’s social media post, but no official report had been filed with the department. Police had received no reports of injuries related to the protests from victims.
