DHS can’t create vast DNA database to track ICE critics, lawsuit says

Lawsuit accuses DHS of plugging DNA database into ICE surveillance machine.

Ars Technica

Vaguely feeling that protesting is not enough for me, I'm contacting the nearest FNB collective to see if they're still active. I want to show not just what I'm *against*, but what I'm *for*, if that makes sense. Someone here recently said a system falls away when folks simply start using a better one. Perhaps for me ... we'll see.

When I went to my first protest, I chose to only upload the photos I took onto Tiktok, due to not knowing if I should post them onto here when I didn't see any other protesters or journalists uploading their photos in the local feed. But after going to this most recent protest, I've decided to share the photos I took on here as well since that was a big part on why I moved to this platform, to be able to speak my voice on how I feel about anything and everything, to show where I stand. So I will be uploading the photos from June 14th next. These are from March 28, 2026, No Kings Protest in St. Louis MO. There were at least, if not more, 6 blocks filled of thousands of people who showed up to unite together to show we are against this administration trying to turn our country into authoritarianism. This is just St. Louis alone, there were others all throughout Missouri that showed up in different counties/cities that protested, and that makes me feel so proud of my state, that so many people actually disagree with what Trump has been doing despite technically being "a red state." Every visible face captured will always be blurred to protect others privacy

A few dozen of us patriots at the #TeslaTakedown in Devon this morning. I'm hopeful that as this disaster continues to unfold, and the weather warms, our numbers will grow.
