Earlier this week, Donald Trump shocked the world when he called for banning all Muslim travel into the United States, as well proposing to “Close the Internet.”
These recent statements have caused a storm of controversy across the world, even forcing neocons to denounce Trump as a viable candidate.
Shortly after Trumps comments, Anonymous released their statement, decrying his tyrannical idiocy.
After the video, anons took to social media displaying screenshots of the collective launching a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on Trumps website, trumptowerny.com, which is dedicated to informing readers about “New York City’s prestigious Fifth Avenue icon.”

The U.S. Supreme Court heard two redistricting cases on Tuesday, December 8. The Texas case, Evenwel v Abbott, got the most press attention. But the Court also heard an Arizona case, Harris v Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, 14-232. Here is the transcript.
The Arizona case was won by the Independent Redistricting Commission last year in a 3-judge U.S. District Court. The case involves legislative redistricting. Some voters charged that the Commission impermissibly and deliberately put too many voters in the Republican-leaning districts, and too few voters in the Demoratic-leading districts.
An oddity in the case is that …read more
More bailouts coming? Don’t worry. It’s peanuts! Retweet
I sent the following letter to Congress, using the End Subsidies campaign. The hardwired message there is…
End all subsidies.
Please join me. It’s simple. You can copy and paste the letter below or write one of your own.
Peanut farmers are producing way more peanuts than anyone wants. Why? They know the taxpayers will bail them out.
I OBJECT to being stuck with the bill!
$2 billion over three years – the estimate for this particular bailout – is hardly peanuts.
America’s peanut crop is at an all-time high. Farmers are growing more than they can sell at …read more
In the past week, people in various different states have been arrested and held on terrorism charges for buying too many cellphones. In each case, FBI investigators have been unable to prove that the suspects have any links to terrorism, but they are still holding many of them on frivolous terrorism charges, despite their lack of evidence.
It seems that if the suspects are telling the truth, they are all cell phone wholesalers, who drive across the country buying cell phones in areas where they are cheap and then reselling them in areas where the demand is higher and the supply …read more
In case you aren’t attending Mozlando in Orlando right now…wait…you mean you didn’t know that Mozilla holds developer conferences? What the Hell is wrong with you? What kind of computer user do you think you are if you didn’t know about Mozlando!! Mozilla is as serious as it gets! How dare you not be there!
Just kidding.
I don’t blame you. I didn’t know about Mozlando 2015 either. Also, I’m no there. But some not-so-stunning news from the event has recently hit, and the biggest piece of news so far is that Mozilla will no longer be developing their smartphone initiative known …read more
Hell of a title, huh? Well, perhaps for the first time (that has been officially announced, anyway) you can now clean your Dark Android device with soap! That’s if you buy Japanese electronics giant Kyocera’s new phone; The DIGNO rafre (don’t ask me how to pronounce that).
Yes, this phone is being marketed as able to get washing with soap. Having an IPX5/8 equivalent rating, this is actually a very, very tough little phone. That rating means its waterproof, dustproof, seriously shock resistant, and now “soap proof”.
I’ve had the Kyocera Hydro Vibe in the past, which was a ridiculously inexpensive phone …read more

On Thursday, the Virginia-based Treatment Advocacy Center, an organization dedicated to eliminating the barriers faced by those with severe mental illnesses, released a jaw-dropping report. In their report titled, Overlooked in the Undercounted: The Role of Mental Illness in Fatal Law Enforcement Encounters, researchers discovered that people with an untreated mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed during an interaction with police than anyone else.
According to the study, by all accounts – official and unofficial – a minimum of 1 in 4 fatal police encounters ends the life of an individual with severe mental illness.
Where official government …read more
