    This is only a problem because Americans continue to support Democrats. Unfortunately, we need to be even more clear that their corrupt and ineffectual politics are no longer desired than we did in ‘24, because the bozos are pretending they didn’t get the message. The corporate Dems work tirelessly to enable disastrous Republican policies all the time, usually at the behest of their common donors - they should just stop the charade and switch parties.

    In the meantime, there are efforts to get leftist 3rd parties off the ground. This Is our only hope to “vote” our way out of fascism, and yes, I’m aware it’s a minuscule chance of success. People typically don’t vote their way out of fascism, historically speaking.






  • Yeah there are always exceptions of course. I’ve seen some in that position able to get away with direct line-of-sight connections for a reasonable rate, but it depends heavily on the layout of the surrounding mountains and location of the service provider plus you have to shell out for an antennae or dish. For any wondering, that’s almost always cheaper than the Starlink sign up costs.

    Then again, if internet is important to someone, gotta consider if mountain-side living is the right choice to begin with. I’m sure your acquaintance has his reasons though!








  • He said why in his statement afterwards. He knows the amount of privilege he has as a rich American public persona, and wanted to use said privilege to see what these interrogations were actually like. He had a line he wouldn’t let them cross (searching his phone), at which point he would have shut up and gotten his lawyer, but the interrogation ended rather abruptly once he asked if he was being detained and they let him go. He shared some interesting anecdotes from his time in the detention area, and it’s good that this is being reported on instead of being done in secret.
