Trump’s Pick to Help Run the FBI Has a History of Prosecuting Influential Democrats
==

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s targeting of Democrats is legally questionable, experts say, but it’s helped to further his career nationally: “The more outrageous you are, the more you are going to attract the attention of Donald Trump.”

@PttP You can check those pages at my local library to get a sense of what our project looks like. We're still getting going, just a couple months in. But it comes down to installing GNU/Linux (Mint) on donated computers as well as offering install assistance to folks that want to switch. Then, light support, classes at the library on using free software, GNU/Linux, Security/Privacy and more as we roll along. If you have a local library I'd suggest starting with them if you need a space.

@PttP I'd like to see my current effort of one turn into a user group that can multiply the offering. is fairly impoverished, I think if we can keep at it we'll slowly raise an awareness of what and Free Software can do for people on a budget. And, along with that, improve local users' knowledge, self-reliance and willingness to help other users is . A seed that can be planted anywhere if there's a local gardener to care for it. 🙂 🌱

"Since March 19, more than 200 of them have been detained at the Phelps County Jail in Rolla. Some are there for only one day, while others have been detained for more than two months. They arrive with no possessions and limited ability to contact their loved ones.

Now activists have come together to try to provide comfort, assistance and, in some cases, clean underwear to the detainees."
