TSA, FEMA, and other government workers within DHS are *still* not being paid while many continue to work.

It has been 72 days.

Can you imagine working 2 1/2 months without a paycheck?

Note 1: Some of them (not all) were retroactively paid back in early April, but the funding was temporary.

Note 2: I don't know anyone at DHS. I simply feel bad that they're not getting paid. It's horrible and shouldn't happen.

"The companies will be tasked with demonstrating a capability for space-based interceptors by 2028...The interceptors, which are designed to destroy enemy missiles outside the Earth's atmosphere, are a key but unproven component of Golden Dome."

The CBO "has estimated the price tag for a network of space-based interceptors could be as high as $542 billion over 20 years."

A bill for the people? We nearly forgot the government could do that 👀

The US government regularly gets around the 4th Amendment by buying data from “third-party” data brokers, to invade your privacy with no oversight.

Why this is legal? We have no idea, but Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) just introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act (with help drafting from Naomi Brockwell!) which closes this loophole.

The bill would mandate warrants for all surveillance, including a ban on invasive AI and facial recognition mass surveillance in public spaces 💪

We’re going against the grain on this one, to acknowledge that proposal H.R. 8250 is not nearly as bad as past proposals like KOSA or the EU’s ID verification scheme. New video out now: Why Everyone's Got the 'Parents Decide Act' Wrong

US-Justizministerium will Rechtsextreme freisprechen lassen!

Im Zuge des von Donald Trump initiierten Sturms auf das Capitol 2021, wurden zahlreiche Rechtsextreme der Gruppierungen Proud Boys und Oath Keepers strafrechtlich verurteilt.

US-Präsiden Trump hatte sie nach Amtsantritt 2025 begnadigt- aber damit gelten sie weiterhin als „verurteilt“. Nun fordert das Justizministerium in Berufungsanträgen die Aufhebung der Verurteilungen, das dies „in the interests of justice“, d.h. im Interesse der Gerechtigkeit, sei.

Während also alles was nach Antifaschismus, nach Links oder auch Queer aussieht verfolgt, verleumdet, beschimpft oder gar als Terrorismus verfolgt wird, werden Rechtsextreme von der US-Regierung erst begnadigt und dann hofiert.
