Thank you, Mr. Trump! I turned right around and donated all of it to the ACLU, who will fight for our civil rights and against corruption.

Wired: ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos Into a Palantir Database
DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.
Republicans lie. Take my current anti-trans Senator, Pete Ricketts, for instance.

Police arrested the wrong woman after searching the Flock surveillance system after a deadly crash.
She spent 13 days in jail, including 86 hours in solidarity confinement, before she was released.
Her attorney provided pictures of her undamaged car police had confiscated that was a different color than the suspected crashed vehicle.

Mitch McConnell's Triumphant Return To Congress
Assuming that most folks here are politically savvy, let's provide them with some tips and tools and inspiration on how to counteract the disinformation onslaught that we know is coming, which is aimed at the less informed electorate.
Such as -
- talking to friends and family
- writing progressive messages and articles
- promoting/boosting progressive messages and articles
- promoting Democratic candidates
- making donations
- joining a local group
- volunteering

Opinion | The White House ballroom Trump wants is pure destruction - The Washington Post
washingtonpost.com/opinions/20…
The Supreme Court refuses to stop Trump’s destruction
There is a word for that and it is called "complicit"...
Well, Bush Jr and Trump are very different types, both politically and psychologically.
After 9/11, Bush needed a state of emergency to push through authoritarian policies. Trump, on the other hand, creates this state of emergency himself politically, as he thrives on constant conflict.
Bush Jr, on the other hand, was a typical neo-conservative establishment politician, whereas Trump belongs to the category of populist authoritarians. He is more fixated on himself than Bush Jr, more impulsive, more easily offended and dependent on constant validation. Bush Jr came across as a rather limited power-seeking politician, but one who was dependent on his group and ideologically malleable.

"Flock taught cops how they could surveil the No Kings protests and “small parades” using a mix of Flock’s technology and law enforcement’s own databases in a webinar last year. As Flock publicly downplays the power of its automated license plate camera network and highlights its use to solve violent crime, the company’s seemingly endless trove of webinars, training sessions, and blog posts show it offers far more invasive capabilities.
In the webinar, Flock’s director of market management Caity Peak explains how real time crime centers — which are police surveillance centers that utilize Flock cameras and other surveillance cameras — can be used for emergency response, but can also be used to surveil “established events” like 4th of July fireworks displays, parades, bike races, Mardi Gras, and protests. The webinar shows just how routine the idea of always-on surveillance has become, and how casually it is used during extremely innocuous events."
404media.co/flock-taught-cops-…
'“Imagine that you’re an incident commander, and you’re working this No Kings Protest,” Peak explains while a dashboard shows a series of surveillance tools overlaying the city of Denver. “If I’m somebody assigned a traffic post that’s working this No Kings Protest, I really don’t have time to go in […] and look at all these places [for different intelligence]. This is an example of viewing all of that in one place. I’m an officer, I can see the response plan that’s included, I can pull that up if I need it, but I can also see live video footage as that protest moves throughout the park.”

That was a rude shock actually… hearing talk of this supposed "blue wave"… I casually check how it's going one Wednesday afternoon and see the ABC's election page is a sea of red.
I was thinking: "America, what are you doing, you drongos?!"
Now you had better hope the mid-terms *do* go ahead… because that's your last hope. After that, only a civil war will unseat them, the US will be a basket case for decades. (And China will probably go: "yippee, time to cross the Yellow Sea and clobber Taiwan!")
