It’s curious to watch some #hamradio operators torture logic to remain “#apolitical” even as #fcc is planning to undermine the regulatory framework of licensure. ‘“Your silence will not protect you.” - Audre Lorde

So apparently I've had enough of talking directly to #tech people regarding #political problems.
I've had enough of people pretending to be #apolitical as well, or misrepresenting my point of view, only to lose their shit when I do the same thing.
I don't understand why it's so hard to get the idea across that foreign actors with a company inside your country can still funnel the data out, that you can never follow up on regulating them and why data farms (politically) was a mistake.

“…It pains me to see these fine people being treated so unfairly &, for the first time in my career, to see dedicated, #apolitical #military professionals being removed w/o cause. I am worried about political #loyalty becoming a criterion…. For now, I have confidence that our professional military has nurtured dozens of highly qualified senior officers capable of holding positions of trust & responsibility,…who can provide leadership…& offer sound military advice to our civilian leaders.”
It is a name that #Trump is allowing a favored donor & ally to use in a reckless campaign against various targets in the federal govt. The whole enterprise is an attack against #CivilServants & the very notion of #apolitical #expertise.
Trump allies make noises about expert failures—& yes, experts sometimes do fail. In particular, #MAGA world continues to demonize what its constituents believe was the medical establishment’s attempt to curtail civil rights during the pandemic…
"#Diagonalism, a term coined by William Callison and Quinn Slobodian, explains a shift in the categories of left v right #politics, instead showing how people once considered to be from #leftwing or #apolitical spheres end up moving towards the #farright with the shared belief that power is innately linked to #conspiracy.
TikTok has opened the door to a new age of #medicalmisinformation – and I’m seeing the results in A&E | Ammad Butt | The Guardian

In the latest episode of The Urbanist Agenda, guest Ellory Smith argues, "infrastructure is apolitical…because…it benefits everybody."
Unfortunately, this is projection, and the most insidious form of both-sides-ing: the unknowing kind.
Ellory is assuming that no one could possibly be so brazenly evil as to disagree with this goal, but they do. They really, really do.
In reality, the fact that infrastructure helps everyone is precisely what makes it directly political, because helping everyone is a Left-wing value. It is diametrically opposed to the Right-wing value of leveraging one's advantages over other people into successively greater advantages.
And for those of you who are new to this: yes, this does in fact mean that the Left side of the political spectrum is the only side that is even remotely morally defensible. If a supposed Right-winger seems to want to help everyone, then there are three possibilities. The most likely is that your definition of, "everyone," excludes the people they're screwing over. The second-most likely is that they're just lying. The last option is that their personal politics are incoherent, probably because they don't know what "Left" and "Right" actually mean.

Congrats, Team USA!
Watching figure skating sounds like a good idea, this weekend. #soothing

Apart from what I have mentioned in other pinned post
I am here for #poetry and everything #literature
I believe in being #politically aware and believe 'there is nothing like #apolitical not poetry, not tech.
An #idealist - believes #love can fix everything. Everything we do must aim towards generating more of it.
Willing to discuss, understand and promote where it helps.

Dear friends of the #a-political,
As you may know #scientists, #religionists and the politically stoked think this:
Everything is political, maths/science/physics, jesusism/allahism/buddhism.
It ain't #funnily enough. And it should not be the only #world-view, #forced and #imposed IMHO...
And yet. Every #instance/#server, #socialmedia, #traditional info pusher, tries to get us involved in their selling points.
That is why we are on #mastodon, #iceshrimp or otherwise engaged in a more #rounded, #wholistic, #interwoven #reality. Or maybe that is just me and my memes?
On Sunday, Justice #Gorsuch paid #FOXNews a visit, & the *Justice* did an interview w/Shannon Bream of #FauxNews.
Let me repeat that.
A supposedly #apolitical Justice of the supposedly apolitical #SupremeCourt sat down for an interview on FOX News.
Gorsuch sat w/Shannon Bream to talk about #POTUS #Biden’s call for sweeping #SupremeCourtReform. When asked about Biden’s call for reforms to #SCOTUS, Justice Gorsuch said:
I remember a time when we all told ourselves, at least in academia, that #SCOTUS was supposed to be an #apolitical body of the #UnitedStates Govt….
If overturning #RoeVWade, SCOTUS’ ruling on Presidential #immunity, the blank check ruling on #bribery, … #Alito’s wife hanging a US flag upside down, & #ClarenceThomas’ existence was not enough to convince you that the #SupremeCourt is one of the most #political & #corrupt sections of our govt, then perhaps this will.

#Macklemore’s #anthem for #Gaza is a rarity: A #protestsong in an era of #apolitical #music

“Hind’s Hall” was electrifying because it was so unexpected.
#RobertHur said that AG #MerrickGarland did not interfere w/his investigation or attempt to modify his report.
Rep Joe #Neguse asked #Hur a series of yes/no questions about whether #Garland —or any #DOJ ofcls— attempted to impede the investigation.
The appointment of a #SpecialCounsel is intended to make high-profile, sensitive investigations as #independent & #apolitical as possible. A SC has more independence from DOJ ldrs than other fed prosecutors, but still ultimately answers to the #USAG.
Senators have many legislative & oversight tools to show their opposition to a specific #policy. They are free to introduce legislation, gather support for that legislation & pass it. But placing a blanket hold on all general & flag #officer nominees, who as #apolitical officials have traditionally been exempt from the hold process, is unfair to these #military leaders & their #families.
And it is putting our #NationalSecurity at risk.
Is there a point in #dating? With how divisive society is becoming, it's harder to find people with shared values. I find many single men on apps are either #apolitical or #conservative, and I can't be with someone who votes against my rights. I'm #childfree, it's in my dating bio, but most single dads keep swiping on me. I've had Jordan Peterson fans and #WhiteSupremacists pursue me & they didn't understand why I had zero interest. I'm beyond frustrated at this point.
The #AP #Stylebook Just Majorly Shit the Bed
An updated #style #tip from the #APStylebook #Twitter #account. encourages #writers to avoid the term “#TERF” or #transexclusionaryradicalfeminist,” calling the #acronym both “#vague” and “#politicized.”
Let’s not forget that #TERF #ideology is, first and foremost, a #threat to #trans #existence. It is not #harmless, nor is it #apolitical.
