📰 Michigan is considering banning the use of VPNs... You may think, this is ignorance, but I think is just part of a non stop attack to our freedoms, the solution is not only to fight back each one of this initiatives, but to make it too expensive politically to continue their war against our freedoms. With no accountability they will continue, if you are in Michigan call your representatives, write them, expose them online, organize in your community, every politician that works against the people needs to be voted out, but that won't happen with you doing nothing or waiting for someone else to do it!

I keep reading incredibly absurd comments in social networks about people complaining that their private employer fired them because of a post "violating", wait for it ... Their 1st amendment rights! Those are Americans or people living and working in the USA. It is unreal how uninformed they are. The 1st Amendment only applies to government, your private employer is not affected by it. If your private employer doesn’t like you post because they reflects badly on them, your firing is justified, not that they need much of a justification thought. Last four years tons of conservatives were fired from private companies for similar reasons, posting emotional political rants on social networks, it seems this time is the liberals that are getting fired... it seems an endles vicious circle for them and it does not seem it will get better but worst.
