US citizens: call on the FCC inspector general to investigate Ajit Pai for corruption.

US citizens: if you vote in one of the states below, call on the senators listed to prevent the massive surveillance provisions in S.139 from passing, no matter what it takes.

The issue concerns section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. It supposedly authorizes massive surveillance of non-Americans' communications, but in fact it is used to spy on Americans, too. See this.

I am looking for people to post videos of my talks on audio-video.gnu.org.

Starstruck Democrats support Oprah Winfrey for president — never mind that she has no political experience, no voting record, and little in the way of publicly stated political positions.

Chances are Winfrey would be better than the bully. You could say as much for any Democrat chosen at random. Obama was better than the bully. Clinton would have been better than the bully.

Obama and Clinton served the plutocrats. Winfrey, a billionaire, is pretty close to being a plutocrat. That doesn't absolutely prove she will be a plutocratist like Obama and Clinton: FDR came from a rich background and gave us the New Deal. Americans could count on him to do this because he had made his views, and his determination, very clear.

Winfrey grew up in poverty; perhaps she will champion the poor. But she has not committed to do this, let alone say how.

Why settle for less than Bernie Sanders?

Assad continues bombing medical clinics in Syria, but the bully sees no evil except in Iran.
