So .. to my awareness there is not really a messaging app out there right now that US intelligence cant snoop on if they want to... But I guess you gonna need one sooner rather than later.

Has signal been cracked by the government? A lot of reporters still receive tips from vulnerable people through it.

Has this been linked yet? Jon Stewart take

Speaking on "Melania" ... UK sold 3 tickets. Three. III. 0x03. 0b00000011.

THREE TICKETS.


Just goes to show the level of disdain Trump, Melania and their kids have garnered for themselves from simply being themselves. The world view of them paints them as pariahs, cheap imitation royalty that are justifiably looked down on as the notorious crime family that sullies themselves at every turn.

Just from casually following the Trump family's trials and tribulations, it's plainly obvious the Trump clan has been "officially" drummed out of that fan club where high society's well to do are respected and adored.

Their family's fame has become their infamy. Sorry Melania, so sorry Ivanka, your riches won't buy your way back into that Admiration Society of the Rich and Famous that you long to rejoin and rejoice in. Heh, even the big ass Kardashians look down you. So sad...anyway.

If you're the genuine target of interest for a nation-state actor, and not just some lower-eschelon subpoena or warrant thing, you should probably just go to encrypted pen and paper. Signal seems like it is generally secure enough for the purposes most are using it for.

This is a copy of the playbook the protestors are using to deal with ICE. I am sure republicans will use this as some type of evidence for some high level insurrection.
Very well organized, I would suggest you keep a copy for yourself if you don't have it for when ICE decides to make a visit to your local area.

uh



uhhhhhhh

“And he told me, ‘Well, look, Tim, we did this in New Orleans, we did it in Louisville, there’s no problems.’ And I said, ‘You didn’t kill anybody in Louisville or New Orleans. And the operation here looks very different from that.’

“And then he told me it was successful in Venezuela,” Walz said.

“I’m not sure what gave him the indication that at this point in time, what’s happening to my state, that I’m interested in Venezuela,” Walz continued. “But he told me how well that went, which really was strange to me was, he saw an operation in Venezuela, against a foreign nation, in the same context he saw an operation against a U.S. state and a U.S. city.”

I think Walz ascribes to much intent to a man who's brains are leaking out his ears and appears increasingly incompetnet/deranged to outsiders who see him.

Not directly to my knowledge, but all our phones has right? If they *WANT* to access your phone, they can, it's just the kind of shit storm it will gather if they do. It's like if they believe the phone is in the hand of a top-10 it's rooted in a manner of minutes.

I assume it's all a matter of what you're trying to hide. Are you trying buy recreational drugs for your personal consumption or download a movie you havent paid for - a VPN off the mill will probably be enough to cover your tracks. But as the severity of your "actions" intensify - so would your applied protection, if you dont wanna get caught. Question is how the Trump regime defines these circles.

Well, that 95% of why Trump is the asshole that he is. He has never been accepted by the normal society types. Add being slighted in public by a president, and here we are.

pretty impressive to demand they not do something that is already illegal to do.....it was a toss up between this thread and the democrats are a usueless party thread

What is the calculus here? Democrats see R is hanging themselves with this ICE bullshit so they are excited to hand them more rope? But at the same time people will see D as complicit?
Also maybe just break the calculator and do what's moral and right?

Democrats seem to think averting a government shutdown will will the people over more than allowing a shutdown I guess. Stupid logic IMO.

There is no calculus, they are one of the shittiest opposition parties we could have at this moment and have had for some time. I mean just add this to the list of literally pathetic feckless shit they do. This is a joke it's insulting. I can't believe he even said that. He should resign and disgrace on the spot.

The fact Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are still in leadership positions is testament to the entire party being broken fundamentally. Corrupt to the core. It's just part of their DNA
