For people who are concerned about having their devices seized at US airports starting Monday when ICE "assists" the TSA, EFF has this guide: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/journalist-security-checklist-preparing-devices-travel-through-us-border
A Journalist Security Checklist: Preparing Devices for Travel Through a US Border

We wrote this checklist to help journalists prepare for transit through a U.S. port of entry while preserving the confidentiality of your most sensitive information, such as unpublished reporting materials or source contact information. It’s important to think about your strategy in advance, and begin planning which options in this checklist make sense for you.

@evacide There was a time, growing up, that the USA was called "The Land of the Free"....

What is happening now is so ludicrously insane that words fail me.

Ask most black people if they remember that time. I don't mean this as a "gotcha", the country has always been like this, it's just affecting white people more now.

@heathen_cat I'm AAPI, not Black, but the difference between the way I'm treated vs the way my white husband is treated is amazing. (And I have witnesses: our children.) Conventions that he thinks are suggestions I have to observe scrupulously.

I've seen people be more hostile and aggressive with my Black friends. Yeah, they don't remember Land of the Free very well.
