This week, a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens is set to expire — and we’re worried that some Democrats could join Republicans in reauthorizing this civil liberties disaster.
Urge your Members of Congress to vote NO on any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-congress-say-no-warrantless-ai-mass-surveillance/?source=mastodon
The War on Terror-era legislation that authorized decades of civil liberties-eroding mass surveillance is set to expire on April 19. Congress should let it die. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was passed in 2008 as a counterterrorism measure, but has a long history of abuse from the federal government, especially when it comes to surveillance. Congress has a choice to make: Will they greenlight warrantless mass surveillance, or hold the line and reject any effort to move forward without serious privacy guardrails? FISA as it is currently written: Allows warrantless backdoor surveillance of people in and out of the country Offers little to no protections against the administration targeting critics, activists, religious minorities, or communities of color Actively chills our freedoms of speech and association Two years ago, this reauthorization legislation sailed through Congress with bipartisan support. That can’t happen again. Let your Members of Congress know you expect them to reject reauthorization unless it includes significant reforms to protect our civil liberties against this authoritarian regime.
The former Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan has added his name to growing calls for the president to be ousted on grounds that he is unfit for the job,
arguing that the US constitution’s 25th amendment addressing involuntary removal from office was
“written with Donald Trump in mind”.
Brennan, who served as head of the spy agency during Barack Obama’s presidency, told MS Now on Saturday that
Trump’s recent volatile remarks about destroying Iranian civilization
and the danger he posed to so many lives
merited his removal from the Oval Office.
“This person is clearly unhinged,”
he said.
“I think the 25th amendment was written with Donald Trump in mind.”
Brennan added that Trump was too much of a liability to be allowed to continue to be commander-in-chief, with immense firepower at his disposal, including the US nuclear arsenal.

Started this morning wondering about how I could find some native plants to plant in my back yard. I'm not really into gardening so don't know much. Then stumbled across https://gardenforwildlife.com/ and they seem to make it pretty easy.
Would love other beginner-friendly local options in #WestMichigan if anyone has any!
