Gov. Pritzker: "They literally did a military attack on a building with a Black Hawk helicopter...You don't arrest an entire building, detain everybody, zip tie children, hold elderly people in a U-Haul for house — U.S. citizens!"

I went viral before for saying I don't want my washing machine to text me or to see ads on my fridge.

After this AWS outage, I don't want -any- "smart" tech in my home, ever.

I'm glad my car is old school. It doesn't even have a fob.

Thinking about ditching my smart phone.

Didn't have chance due to limited word count to talk it but I think an instructive way to think of these movements, however piecemeal they may be, is to take Mouin Rabbani's view that this is the first time ever that groundswell public anger has compelled change *for* Palestine.

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.
Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed
From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

WEIRD 🙄 that #universalhealthcare would save billions of dollars but Republican political donors would be very upset so they keep lying to their disease ridden cult base of fuck wits

Kind of like how they’ve tried to get rid of a #Obamacare spending billions !

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
