Only the US (and China and Russia and a few others) could twist “You don’t own the sky. Clean up after yourself” into an international incident

“ Our mission, values, and commitment [to enrich ourselves and to oppress everyone else] remain the same.”

Fixed it for them

Sir Keir Starmer called the move to block fans attending “wrong”, adding “we will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets”.

Anti-Israeli government is not “antisemitic”, you twat

It’ll be interesting to see if Putin considers it worth pulling out of Ukraine to let Trump crow about winning in a bid to keep a friendly party running the US.

That’s a pretty broad brush. Aren’t those directly responsible for supporting and financing him already deported and barred from entering?

Punishing family members simply for being family members would be a human rights violation.

Deportations of whom?

No worries. It’s been a while since I saw anyone talking about PGP or GPG (the FOSS version).

I think that the EU would have to ban the entire internet if they banned public key encryption. And that would make their corporations very sad.

I mean, it’s worked for Apple so far. And if this is, as others have suggested, an effort to comply with EU attacks on privacy, then just maybe there’s a tiny silver lining in Trump leaning on the EU to stop it.

I hear you about going back to analog. The problem in the States is that Republicans have managed to gut the postal service and drive up its prices so that normal people can’t afford it. Electronic communication is all they can afford.

PGP encrypts and decrypts locally. Your private keys never leave your device. Public keys are meant to be shared widely, but without the private key, anyone who intercepts the message has exactly a block of encrypted text and no way to read it.

Won’t everyone just go back to using PGP on-device?

Better late than never

I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. —Charlie Kirk, Salt Lake City, 2023

It isn’t celebratory to acknowledge the stone-cold fact that he was a victim of his own position. And that he himself said this was acceptable.

If you were fine waiting to find out, it seems you would’ve waited to find out. Why speculate at all if you agree that speculation is inappropriate?

Unless the real goal was to stir up some shit

Unrelated. They’re both disgusting

Good on the EC for doing something. Ignoring Trump would be a good second step

No one can possibly know if this killing was a terrorist act. No one knows anything about the suspect yet, so far as I know. No one really knows anything except that Charlie Kirk was killed while speaking at an engagement in Utah.

This wasn’t even the most egregious shooting that happened this week. But no one seems interested in talking about the latest high school shooting.

It would be well to stick to facts. Leave speculation out of it.

Did you have the impression that I disagree with this?

No one deserves to die for speaking their truth.

That said, it isn’t the US left using the military and terrorist tactics to go after anyone who disagrees with Dear Leader

Agreed. But better late than never

With all due respect, i.e. not much, I call bullshit
