Why yes, I am absolutely wearing this cut-off tshirt with an image of Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith Beheading Holofrenes that says “Girl Dinner” to the talk I am giving this afternoon about tech-enabled abuse.
Everything about Durov's statement is so profoundly dishonest that I feel like engaging in a point-by-point debunking is a waste of time. If most of the messages on your platform are not end-to-end encrypted AT ALL, it is less private and secure than platforms whose messages are all e2e by default.
This is that nonsense Rufo and some right-wingnuts started. It's about attacking NPR through Katherine Maher. It needs to be shut down whenever it comes up.
Everyone knew about Harvey Weinstein. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about the Catholic priests. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.
‘That could well be an official act’: Trump attorney tells SCOTUS a president assassinating rival could be immune from prosecution; staging 'coup' could be within official act
I assume that means that Supreme Court Justices are also fair game? Were Biden a somewhat ruthless we could be looking at something like the final act of The Godfather.
Journalists: Here's a news org covering the simple reality of the Trump/Republican assault on American democracy. The lede, in the Nevada Current, says:
"Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee on Friday announced a “100,000 person strong” program designed to harass election officials and their employees and discredit democracy in Nevada and a dozen other states."
Try some unabashed truth-telling, journalists. It's liberating.
Far-Right Sheriffs Want a Citizen Army to Stop ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Voters
Speakers at a conference for Constitutional Sheriffs claimed that militias need to patrol polling stations to stop the “expected flood” of immigrant voters.
Media companies are pleading for presidential "debates" -- knowing perfectly well that these events would mostly be platforms for Trump's relentless lying and bluster on LIVE TV.

Well, there were no debates between 1960 and 1976. The League of Women Voters did them for three elections and did a good job. Then the parties took over and they went to rubbish.
It would not be in Biden's best interest to get involved in the clown show that Trump would be sure to turn any debate into.
I am still getting hate mail for my blog post, this time from a neighbor. She was so angry it took her a few days to calm down enough to write to me (in all caps!)
(I shut down comments yesterday)
When I wrote analysis for the Washington Post, I sometimes got angry email from MAGA people.
I did get a memorable letter from a librarian in Tennessee who was enraged at how I portrayed Andrew Jackson in one of my books.
