Internet stuffs

Every time I unsubscribe from email lists I get less email, both in my spam folder and my regular email. It only takes a few days for me to get hundreds of emails and I cannot deal. Most just entice me to spend money, which I'm trying to do less of. So if you're inundated with emails, unsubscribe. I use to believe that somehow unsubscribing was a signal for lists to know your email is attached to a real person. I read that somewhere once - don't unsubscribe or you'll just get more emails because they'll sell your email to more spammers because they know you're real and they want to continue making money off your email. But it really does result in less emails. So unsubscribe away.

I got into a Twitter discussion of sorts today over First Amendment rights regarding a video of citizens "harassing" Mitch McConnell as he left a restaurant. ABC News who posted the video didn't say he'd been "harassed" in the restaurant, but I'm going to assume it started there.
Let's get one thing straight - telling a member of Congress how you feel about them, such as telling them to "Abolish ICE" or "Vote him out" and doing so in a public place is exercising your freedom of speech. In fact, it doesn't get more blatantly First Amendment than that. Someone shouted "We know where you live," and people on Twitter assumed that was a threat. Probably conservative people, which I find amusing because they'll defend their right to own military type guns, yet try to tell other people when they are being threatening. Maybe the protester just wanted Mitch to know they're going to stand in front of his house and say those things. That would also be exercising their freedom of speech.
Then someone with 26 followers proceeded to argue that there are restrictions to 1A. Like you can't block a roadway. Hmm. The Dan Ryan Expressway got blocked in Chicago on Saturday by protesters. Good for them. I believe the mayor knew about this ahead of time and was OK with it, yet Gov. Rauner blasted him for it.
I do not know what else people in America can do right now to get across to the thick headed, traitorous GOP, Tr*mp gestapo and MAGA cultists that those among us who are sick of their shit will be heard. My favorite thing right now is the meme about how people broke the law in Nazi Germany when they sheltered Jews, illustrating the point that laws are not morality. We have lost our moral compass in America. It is no small irony that many of those whose compasses have gone belly up are the fucking religious right who think they are morally superior to those of us who don't believe in their "god" and anyone who is not white or male for that matter. In one respect I feel sorry for them because their gullibility allowed corrupt individuals and governments such as Russia to take advantage of them. But there is no excuse for continuing to follow and support this administration.
So if those of us with intact moral compasses have to block interstate highways and shout politicians out of restaurants and into parking lots, so be it.
