Members of Congress are about to introduce a bill that will undermine
the law that undergirds free speech on the Internet. If passed, the bill
known as the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act, will
fulfill a long-standing dream of U.S. law enforcement. If passed, it
could largely mark the end of private, encrypted messaging on the
Internet.

Protests for Dijon Kizzee continue for a week now. Police continue to make protests hostile and violent, showing up to peaceful marches in military gear with weapons out, shooting at demonstrators, and shooting journalists this past weekend. Multiple protesters have been arrested, but not the officers involved, despite video footage showing Dijon on the ground when officers opened fire.
Dijon was murdered by LAPD, who shot him 15 times in the back after he fell to the ground. He was allegedly stopped for riding his bike incorrectly (x).
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
