  • These protesters are victims of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They’re protesting for higher standards of civil liberties while two rouge, fascist nations utilize them as a means to instill regime change for their own interests. Complete disregard for human life, while the ayatollah see them as an accessory to US and Israeli aggression and clamped down on the protesters with more lethality.

    And on top of that, Trump’s corrupt foreign political donors in the middle east like the Saudis asked them to back down, and he did. So extra lives were squandered for virtually nothing.






  • Been using FreeTube for a bit now w/ GraphineOS, and my Linux Desktop. Runs cookieless embed of YouTube videos and Invidious instances built in. Localized subscriptions and playlists, which can be imported in from Google Takeout; no recommendations page. Occasionally YT will block your IP, which is where a good VPN comes into play so you could switch on the fly, and for overall additional privacy hygiene.

    I would love to drop YT all together, but some independent journalists I follow are all there who’s coverage is really on the pulse. It pays to be informed by good journalists these days, and many of them are unfortunately on YT.
