@doctorow

The #GOP, a coalition between Big Business farmers and turkeys who'll vote for Christmas (Red Scare cowards, apocalyptic white nationalists, religious fanatics) has fallen to its bizarre, violent radical wing, obsessed with policies that are irrelevant to most Americans.

As @owillis writes, the views of the radical right - which are also the policies of the GOP - are wildly out of step with the US political view:

OTD in 1857 #Massachusetts voters decided to make future voters prove their literacy by reading a randomly drawn sample of the state Constitution and signing their name. It was the second state to do so — after Connecticut. (Clipping: New England Farmer) (1/4)

The point was not education. It was to keep working Irish, many illiterate, from voting. The idea was sprung by Know-Nothings who’d swept to power three years earlier. (Clipping: Boston Evening Transcript) (2/4)

Their tactics inspired others. The literacy test spread through the Northeast and Midwest. Then, 33 years later, Mississippi erected it with other hurdles meant to keep Blacks from voting despite the promises of the 15th Amendment. Other Southern states followed. (3/4)

Anfang April 2023: auf #Twitter und #Telegram drehen angebliche Geheimdienst-Unterlagen der #USA zum Thema #Ukraine die Runde. Teile davon sind allerdings offenkundig manipuliert, um pro-russische Narrative zu stützen. /MS nytimes.com/2023/04/06/us/…

The masked car-thieves who stole a #Volkswagen SUV in #LakeCounty, IL didn't know that there was a two-year-old child in the back seat - but that's no excuse. A violent car-theft has the potential to hurt or kill people, after all. 1/

Same with the VW execs who decided to nonconsensually track the location of every driver and sell that data to shady brokers - but to deny car owners access to that data unless they paid for a "find my car" subscription. 3/

A 2021 #IOS update from #Apple let users opt out of tracking with one click. More than 96% clicked, costing #Facebook $10b in *one year*. The kicker? Even if you opted out, *Apple* *spied* on you, just like Facebook had, to fuel its own targeted ads:

The fact that Apple - a company that has blanketed the world with anti-surveillance billboards - engaged in deceptive, pervasive surveillance reveals the bankruptcy of "letting the market decide" what privacy protections you should have. 3/
