Freedom of American children

lundi 25 décembre 2017 à 01:00

American children have had almost all their freedom taken away in the past 40 years.

Fining poor people

lundi 25 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Saboteur of Justice Sessions cancelled the federal guidelines that restrained some cites from fining poor people for being poor.

This may be the most damaging thing yet that the Republicans have done. Millions of Americans who were being rescued from the repression of perpetual debt will now have no hope of escape.

Opinions and incitement

lundi 25 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Courts and scientists are trying to clarify the boundary between firm opinions and incitement to violence.

CIA briefing on election

lundi 25 décembre 2017 à 01:00

If we can believe the CIA that it briefed the bully on Jan 6 about Russia's election meddling, that implies he has been lying about it ever since.

Russian troll accounts

lundi 25 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Twitter accounts suspected of being Russian trolls were used to stir up conflict after terrorist attacks in the UK.

Associating the Twitter accounts with Russia may admit of uncertainty, but there's no uncertainty that the system is susceptible to being used this way. Individuals and right-wing extremist organizations do it, too.

What's not clear is how to fix the Twitter system to make it less susceptible to this sort of instability, without censorship that would threaten our freedom also.
