Disagree based on the reporting I’ve read. Actually just saw another reported piece from the NYT pop up on this, but I’ve seen others in the same vein previously which informed my comment. “Once a Bastion of Free Speech, the A.C.L.U. Faces

The ACLU is more of a partisan organization aligned with the democrats nowadays. Good or bad, it has been great for their fundraising. (Of course the same has happened to many other groups which have switched to being partisan aligned on on

Interesting to read that post, which is clearly pro-gay, and contrast with gay marriage referendums in the 2012 election which barely passed with around 47% of voters opposed (and of course Prop 8 had won in california just a few years earl

Seems like a bad UI caused by the change that means anyone who bought ST3 in the last 3 years can upgrade to ST4 with their current license. They should have released a small ST3 update that detects if the license would be valid for ST4 and

This is Venmo complying with the law, if you read the article. It’s not their own initiative - they’re just complying with US export restrictions that make funding certain overseas organizations illegal.

Good news is that most ballot machines have been updated to print paper receipts or are simply scanners. And the machine results were audited by a hand count, in some cases a full hand count (e.g. Georgia), and shown to be accurate.
