Well done @ABC for highlighting this massive threat to our world

The Trump administration has opened investigations into how race is considered in admissions at three medical schools, ratcheting up its pressure campaign against colleges and universities. The Justice Department opened the investigations on Wednesday into possible discrimination at the medical schools of Stanford University, Ohio State, and the University of California, San Diego. Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, announced the investigations on X. President Donald Trump has been ramping up scrutiny of universities he decries as overrun by liberal influence, using tools such as control of federal research funding as leverage.
This is interesting. Not that I want anyone to share this information far and wide, especially where surveillance might be violating civil rights.

Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular Spying | Electronic Frontier Foundation

Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.
An if we live, we live to tread on kings;
If die, brave death, when princes die with us.
Now, for our consciences, the arms are fair
When the intent of bearing them is just.

Roger Hallam’s book “proposes new modes of governance, including the concept of sortition. It addresses the corruption of culture & the shrinkage of our moral imagination to the radius of the self. And it ends, quietly & devastatingly, with the finger pointed back at the reader. Perhaps you, in your disobedience – your refusal to comply with a system that is digesting the future – are the missing piece.

Ahead of Roger Hallam’s London launch and UK book tour, Sul Nowroz reviews his newest book, Suicide, written while he was imprisoned in HM Prison Wayland – a call for disobedience and non-compliance as an act of love for future generations.
