Does @GrapheneOS help mitigate this (vs. iOS) or is it more about the apps one chooses to download? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has bought access to a surveillance tool that is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data from hundreds of millions of mobile phones, according to ICE documents reviewed by 404 Media. The documents explicitly show that ICE is choosing this product over others offered by the contractor’s competitors because it gives ICE essentially an “all-in-one” tool for searching both masses of location data and information taken from social media. The documents also show that ICE is planning to once again use location data remotely harvested from peoples’ smartphones after previously saying it had stopped the practice. “The Biden Administration shut down DHS’s location data purchases after an inspector general found that DHS had broken the law. Every American should be concerned that Trump's hand-picked security force is once again buying and using location data without a warrant,” Senator Ron Wyden told 404 Media in a statement.

Isn't this why we have been buying guns and touting the 2nd amendment? At what point do we "rise up" against jackbooted, maked, unidentified thugs breaking down American's doors demanding papers? ------------------------------------ Do you all realize Trump has destroyed our rights? DHS can break down your door in the middle of the night, with no warrant, trash your apartment and all your belongings, zip tie you, zip tie your children and drag you all out into the street naked, throw you into a van, imprison you for as long as they feel like it with no lawyer, no calls, nothing. It doesn’t matter that you are a citizen. They act with near total impunity. Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties. Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go. “I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Johnson said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

Do you guys remember when Trump transferred Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security girl's summer camp?

Perhaps a good topic for @TFTC this week @ODELL @Marty Bent Ted Cruz single handedly blocks bill that would have extended data privacy to all Americans (not just federal lawmakers)

The Texas senator blocked a bill that would have prevented data brokers from selling personal data on anyone in the United States, and not just fed...

Hegseth today to generals: "You see the Ivy League faculty lounges will never understand us, and that’s okay. Because they could never do what you do. The media will mischaracterize us, and that’s okay. Because deep down they know the reason they can do what they do is you.” Hegseth has 2 degrees from the Ivy League. Princeton and Harvard. They belittle higher education to play up to their base (which largely is not college educated) while they attend the most premier colleges and make sure their kids will as well.

Imagine being a decorated war hero and having to listen to a Fox News goon, whose deployments were guard duty, and civil affairs, lecture you about war.

Israel needs you to hate Muslims. Because if you saw Palestinians as human, You’d see Israel as inhuman. And then the whole story would collapse.

Couldn’t Trump just use the $17 trillion he says he got from all these other countries to fund the government? That should cover us for a while. Where is that, by the way?

Republican family values. MAGA Republican and former South Carolina state representative Robert John “RJ” May III has been arrested and has plead guilty to distributing child sexual abuse material. He is married with two children.

never forget

"Democrats need to tone down the language. You can't call people fascist and not expect violence to occur."

Netanyahu meets with US Influencers (most likely on Israel’s payroll) to discuss how they can brainwash evangelicals back to supporting Israel He explains the most important war for Israel is on social media & their 2 top targets are: 1. TikTok 2. X

Two more mass shootings in the last 24 hours by white MAGA men under 40. Both were veterans. The first attacked a bar and blamed queer people for his mental health issues, which were severe and stemmed from getting shot in the head during his service. The second attacked a Mormon church and had MAGA paraphernalia all over his home. The speculation is that this was revenge against the Mormon faith because the man who shot that podcaster in Utah was Mormon. I'm sure @HODL and @Marty Bent this gets you really worked up and you think a real change needs to be made to stop these crazy far right lunatics from destroying our country. I'm sure you will be posting your outrage of these events just like when "far left commies" do violence, right?

In case you were wondering why Republicans are blocking the release of the Epstein files:

What MAGA thinks the threat to America is: -Antifa -MS-13 -Immigrants -Radical left -Drag Queens -George Soros -Woke college kids What the REAL threat to America is: -AIPAC -Palantir -Digital IDs -BlackRock -Peter Thiel -Technocrats -Flock surveillance

As of this morning, These News agencies are all reporting Elon Musk has been named in the Epstein Files: Fox News, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, The Washington Post, Sky News, BBC, Al Jazzera, The Guardian, The Hill, Newsweek, The New York Post, Yeah, Republicans are not only protecting Trump.

this mother fucker is now pretending like we've been asking for the earhart files not the epstein files

where the fuck do we live now?
