A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
He’s not wrong. They pulled him aside without a warrant and gave him a choice with zero options: Surrender your phone data and give up your privacy, and in the current political climate they always find something that is hurtful to Donald’s tender feelings, or refuse and be detained.
I made a video on Samuel’s story a few weeks ago, if anyone out there hasn’t heard of it.
Yes if they had any actionable information on him they would have already been advertising it or putting it out there. The fact that they haven’t speaks volumes. This Administration would even purposefully griefly put out false information as long as it hurts people they don’t like.
There’s a good chance they had information on him, but they got it illegally and needed to ‘accidentally’ discover the same information during a ‘random’ search and now they’re butthurt because it didn’t work.
If they had anything, they’d’ve had a warrant.
I don’t think “at risk” is right, legal privacy protections have been a joke since 9/11, and nobody in power (We e;ected Obama to fix that and he expanded it instead) is ever going to let the control they stole in that climate of fear go.

Facts. One of the areas where Dems/Reps always agree is that your civil liberties are their’s to trample on at will.
If they agree iot’s either bad for us, or sounds good but probably won’t change anything.
Like the ROAD act that had such overwhelming bipartisan support, and sounds like a great idea, but the limits set to cub venture capital and private equity are pointless when FinCEN databases are being purged and corporate ownership no longer needs to be tracked.
And we get something good, like Biden’s infrastructure program, but it ends up not going to fix crumbling roads and bridges that keep falling down or build rail infrastrructure we need, but to put up millions of ALPRs linked to shady corporations who spy on us and hand out all that data without a warrant to anyone from ICE to a data broker to a random hacker trying to steal your identity.
Such bullshit. There should be no law against deleting your data.
There isn’t one. They are using to establish a precedent.
But then how will the apparatus of law work on you? That opinion seems like criminal behavior. You must have something to hide, or believe the apparatus of law would fabricate it, which is criminal behavior.
