Sarah Palin and her allies have been wanting a civil war all along. There won't be one, but her kind of language will give license for extremist militia groups to do acts of terrorist violence.

Fascists always use "protecting children" as the rationale for implementing mechanisms of social control. Their willingness to allow school shootings shows that they really don't care about protecting children at all.

I used to like Glenn Greenwald before he became a far-right conspiracy nut. It is weird to see somebody flip 180 degrees like that. RFKjr has always been a wack job, endorsing every conspiracy he gets his hands on. Both are completely unreliable as reasonable sources of accurate information.

DuckDuckGo is not a wrapper for Bing, but is in fact a distinct and independent search engine. DDG does grab some results from bing. but it also grabs from other sources and it's own crawler.

In today's skewed political spectrum, "Left" is what would be considered moderate in a reasonable perspective.

I use Debian XFCE, and it is perfect for me.

I never intend to use a flatpak or snap, and avoid them like the plague. The whole concept is incredibly ugly to me, and wasteful of computer resources.
