Love using @quad9dns.bsky.social to protect myself, friends and family. Question for the community. I’ve found a very suspicious domain. How can I report it for investigation?

"Perhaps the bleakest factoid is that the US is even less popular as a tourist destination than Nazi Germany in the 1930s." This is a really big deal on so many levels. It's also so damn depressing. Trump really does ruin everything.
New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something
Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Site-blocking isn’t just theoretically dangerous. Italy’s system blocked hundreds of innocent websites. Spain’s swept up domains belonging to Greenpeace and Harvard. Now Congress wants to bring this to the U.S. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

“Domestic manufacturing is no substitute for accountability over how these systems are built, sold, and used,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told @WIRED.com. "The multi-billion dollar industry churning out mass surveillance technology is not safer or more acceptable based on where it is assembled.”

New in PN: “Trump Dividend” is the new Trump Steaks "Trump sounds like a carny salesman, not a president. That’s because he is a carny salesman. He’s shilling hard because the Republican Party he is selling for the midterms is about as appetizing as his patented explosive diarrhea lettuce."

Yes, yes, the state of California is definitely taking children away from their parents if they don't agree with "the pronouns the schools chooses for your kids," yes, that is an entire string of events that definitely happened. It's cool how a US Senator can just spread insane lies on TV.
Tim Scott: "Think about how dangerous states like California [are] that want to take away your kids if you don't agree w/pronouns the schools chooses for your kids. They're coming for our culture. If you don't want to stand up & fight for the soul of this country, your wood is wet. It's that simple"
