What I said last year about #FL, and also about #TX (#GOPHandmaidsTale) still holds true: if you have female family members, you'd better leave / have left...once the #Elections2024 results are known at the latest.
I agree. Hate to admit it, but some states might be lost to the #RepublicOfGilead.

@flexghost If you have made plans for leaving the #DeathSantis Sector, now is the time to execute them, if you have female family members, in particular of childbearing age. If you have not, you'd better get moving.Mastodon

...to pardoning himself, I think that is a loophole a real... constitutional court, but maybe not the compromised #SCOTUS, would close, as it is so utterly in dissonance with the concept of Checks and Balances.

There is legal precedent, e.g.:
"In 1920, Eugene V. Debs, the Midwestern socialist leader, ran for president while locked up at a federal penitentiary in Atlanta. He had been convicted under the federal Sedition Act for giving an antiwar speech a few months before Armistice Day, the end of World War I. " 1)

Yes, Donald Trump could still run for president from prison in 2024
Former President Donald Trump is running for the White House again in 2024. Legal experts say he can run — and maybe even run the country — if he's in prison.Robin Bravender (Insider)

...not just ok to be a #Republican who votes for a #Democrat this cycle, if you truly believe in the values of freedom, liberty and justice, then it's absolutely essential you vote for a Democrat this cycle. [Or at least not for the #MAGA candidate.]
This is a great conversation and absolutely worth your time!"

...am, as yet, undecided regarding the potential threat of a surveillance state, as in #China, #NorthKorea, or #Russia, but things cannot continue as they are. The really stolen (from #HillaryClinton) #Election2016 in the #US should be a definite call for action.
However, ending end-to-end #encryption (#E2E) is certainly taking it way too far. There must be a society left worth fighting for.

Another step is severely beefed-up policing of political content. Although I'm critical of its use, #AI could, in this case, be used to pre-screen all #SM content. "Problematic" contents and accounts (tbd) would be evaluated by a likewise beefed-up #CyberPolice force, to be either forwarded to the prosecution or to the #CyberWarfare command/ #CyberIntelligence agents or discarded.
