"Something that should be said more often is that the reason authoritarians are authoritarians is that they’re unpopular. They have to use the threat of force along with intimidation and suppression tactics to get their way. They endeavor to scare people into obeying, whether or not they agree, and not being scared and not obeying helps demonstrate how finite their power is and how much of ours remains even in the bleakest circumstances." theguardian.com/commentisfree/

@AccordionBruce For sure! I wish I could get myself to use an ortholinear #Dygma #Defy without killing my muscle memory for all other keyboards.

I never expected to drop so much money on a keyboard, but I really couldn't find any others that fit my requirements. At least, since my requirements are so specific, there's little risk of me spending more money building/collecting custom keyboards. I suspect I'll try different switches or key-caps at some point, but that's more a repairability plus.

Alabama Shows Our Country Hasn’t Changed - Democracy Docket

Today, Republicans up and down the ballot openly oppose voting rights. Every single House Republican voted against the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would have reversed the Shelby County decision and restored preclearance to states, like Alabama, that clearly still need it.

Instead of Republican leaders in Congress voting to reauthorize the #VRA and affirming the need for fair maps and voting laws, the current leadership is actively using these states’ discriminatory practices for their political gain.

Last week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called Alabama to urge the state to #defy the court’s order for fear that a second majority-Black district could swing control of the House.

As we watch to see what the court does in #Alabama, let’s pay just as much attention to states like #Florida, #Georgia, #Louisiana, #South #Carolina and #Texas.

Without oversight from the federal government this time around, and without enough time before the 2022 midterm elections, these states ended up with #discriminatory #electoral #maps that shouldn’t have been enacted in the first place.
