Millions of dollars are being spent on camera towers, drones, ground sensors, and other forms of surveillance tech at the U.S.-Mexico border—all to the detriment of those who live, work, or seek refuge in the borderlands. You can learn more in our zine: www.eff.org/issues/bord....

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Norway’s former Chief of Defence, General Sverre Diesen:
“Under the current Trump administration, we cannot consider the United States our ally. Trump’s America is a hostile actor that, in the event of a conflict in Europe, would side with Russia rather than with us and other European countries.”

We’re already helping to fund the Russian war effort and we’ve basically ended all other aid to Ukraine. Why the fuck should the Ukrainians care about our threats anymore.
US warned the Ukrainians that Washington might cut off intelligence sharing with Kyiv if it will continue strikes on Russian refineries.
The Americans also informed their Ukrainian counterparts that the US was set to lift sanctions on Russian diesel and that Moscow intended to lift its export ban.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task.
I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

Competence vs entitled mediocrity on full display. And, there’s 30-35% of the population that will knowingly choose the latter because…
Jon Ossoff didn’t just show up to debate Mike Collins. He owned the stage.
Calm, confident, prepared, and in complete control. Collins, on the other hand, looked like he regretted showing up.

I genuinely believe this accelerated data collection of Americans is baseline kompromat. J. Edgar Hoover’s 50 years of collecting info on prominent Americans got nothing on this. 👇
New: USPS is to put cameras in its trucks that continuously record. This is to gather data on roads, signage, and to improve "community safety," the agency tells me. The cameras are marketed to capture passing license plates too, but don't run ALPR software
