This is what your union does with your money, AFL-CIO members. They support SOPA and the end of the internet as it is. Just would like to let any other members of these organizations know they are supporters of the end of the internet: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3261/money Millions of dollars more have gone to the Congressman supporting SOPA than opposing it. Big money is in on the the shit. I hope when the freenet is finally available, they are all banned from it. (Irony intended there.)

Affiliate unions include writers', musicians' and actors' unions. SAG, Actors' Equity, AGMA etc. It it wholly unsurprising.

A progressive calling a union federation "douches"? That's surprising. Not DU's proudest moment.

Sounds like that union is trying to help protect its members from piracy. Good on them!

That's because it would contain bad words, imprecations, and anger, and I'm working on not doing that.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
