• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

🧵 THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin 🇺🇸

Taking a break from book writing for this...

This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. ✊ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.

Now, they’re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. 👑❌

This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and what’s really behind the “No Kings” movement.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together in real time.

Here are some simple facts:

1️⃣ Obamacare was created and passed entirely by DEMOCRATS.

2️⃣ Since Obamacare took effect, health insurance premiums have SKYROCKETED.

3️⃣ The Obamacare COVID-era subsidies were also passed entirely by DEMOCRATS, and set to expire at the end of this year.

DEMOCRATS have increased health care costs exponentially, and are now shutting down the government—as they try to cover up THEIR OWN FAILURES and somehow blame Republicans.

It’s time for DEMOCRATS to reopen government so we can fix this mess!

Because of Republicans’ massive health care cuts, millions of American families will see their premiums skyrocket. That could mean having to choose between paying for health care or electricity.

That's how dire our health care crisis is.


And, after 14 years of pedaling the lie that Obamacare made insurance more affordable, the Washington Post finally told the truth, conceding that it was never affordable
 
Question for the computer people or anyone who wants to reply. I don't use a VPN and don't know the in's and out's of how they operate.

If a person in the US uses a VPN and chooses one in England, could that in anyway be traced back to the originating computer? If a person in England uses a VPN not in England can that be traced back to them?

Are those people being abused by their government's crack down on speech able to continue to post memes and other communications using a VPN without being known? Are the spooks in any of these countries capable of breaching the networks (or whatever they're called) and identify individuals or anyone else? I suspect they can.
Yes and No, but really No. If that happened, the entirety of the VPN service’s business you’re using will go bankrupt after the media reports it. It’s akin to asking “will the engine fall out of my car if I close the door too hard?” Yeah it can happen, but it would never happen. If you’re using a reputable service that you pay for, you’ll be fine.
 
You would want a VPN IP in a non Five Eyes country. But depending on your use case, your hardware or device ID (mobile) is attached to most any app you post on such as X or Facebook or Instagram regardless of VPN. But also you’d want your VPN to have a no logging policy.
Good point. Yes the mobile phone throws an entire wrench into the discussion. When I think VPN, I think laptop or tower. But I’m an older Gen X guy, so… Anything requiring VPN, the LAST THING I’d use is my fucking cell phone lol.
 
and now for something completely different!!

Florida Released HUNDREDS of Robotic Rabbits To Kill Pythons, But No One Could've Expected THIS​

Deep in the misty Florida Everglades, an unseen war is unfolding. Beneath the reeds, monstrous Burmese pythons prowl silently, their numbers so vast they have emptied the marshes of native mammals. In response, scientists have unleashed an unexpected weapon: lifelike robotic rabbits that radiate heat, release prey scents, and watch with hidden cameras. The decoys lure the elusive snakes from the shadows, exposing them to hunters in a game of survival few imagined possible. But as these mechanical lures change the battlefield, questions linger: how far can technology bend nature before the wild itself pushes back?
