Does Biden want to make the Democrats Happy?
Does Biden want to get the party energy up?
Fun facts:
If President Biden wanted to, before leaving office, he could legally,… release the tax returns of Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Ted Cruz.
With his New Executive Power Biden can:
1) Pardon his son;
2) Expand the Supreme Court;
3) Get rid of the Electoral College;
4) Codify Roe v. Wade.
5) IMPEACH Thomas and Alito
6) IMPRISON Trump.
7. Make Election Day a National Holiday
8) Get rid of the filibuster

WEBXRAY IS A TOOL FOR LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE PROFESSIONALS TO FIND PRIVACY VIOLATIONS ON THE WEB.
This Machine Exposes Privacy Violations
This, Libert says, is why he developed webXray, a crude prototype of which he’s demoing for me right now. It’s a search engine for rooting out specific privacy violations anywhere on the web. By searching for a specific term or website, you can use webXray to see which sites are tracking you, and where all that data goes. Its mission, he says, is simple; “I want to give privacy enforcers equal technology as privacy violators.” To level the playing field.
A former Google engineer has built a search engine, webXray, that aims to find illicit online data collection and tracking—with the goal of becoming “the Henry Ford of tech lawsuits.” When you search online, is Big Tech watching? Absolutely, Tim Libert, an ex-Google engineer says.
Since 2012, he’s been researching the way the web tracks us. This week, he’s finally launching his own search engine to give power back to the people. What many don’t know is that a lot of this leaking data is not just harmful, but outright illegal. That’s where Libert’s webXray comes in. Its mission, he says, is simple; “I want to give privacy enforcers equal technology as privacy violators.” With webXray, Libert says anyone can get a sense of how sprawling the web of privacy violations being made every day really is, along with a premium tier for regulators and attorneys, who can use the tool to assess those violations and address them.
The ways the web tracks us.
Every day, the companies that operate our most expansive and vital web infrastructure—Google, Microsoft, Facebook—track our browsing habits and gather extensive troves of data on us, based on what we search for and which pages we visit. When you search for where to get an abortion, is sensitive data being tracked and collected? Unfortunately, very possibly so. Is an addiction treatment page or trans porn site exposing your IP address? Quite likely. Every day, tech companies may violate those laws when, say, search engines and medical websites trample HIPAA by allowing search logs of users’ ailments to be tracked, documented, and sometimes monetized by companies like Google, or running roughshod over consent rules by turning a blind eye to advertising cookies embedded in publishers’ websites.
Tech Bros authoritarianism / fascism
strange ideologies behind Silicon Valley’s far-right turn is a must-read!
« Each patchwork would be ruled by a “realm”: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. »
Tech bro geniuses just reinvented feudalism and think it’s the future

Peter Thiel has implied that giving women the right to vote was a mistake.
He’s also a billionaire, self-professed “Christian,” & longtime critic of “multiculturalism” who bankrolled JD Vance in 2022.
Some Christian extremists thus embrace him despite his homosexuality (he was outed by Gawker).
Since 1920, the vast increase
in welfare beneficiaries and the
extension of the franchise to
women — two constituencies
that are notoriously tough for
libertarians – have rendered the
notion of “capitalist democracy”
into an oxymoron.
— Peter Thiel
