“EFF Sues U.S. Government Over Alleged Social Media Surveillance of Non-Citizens.” The article reports that the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging the government unlawfully monitored social media posts of lawful U.S. residents and visa holders using AI tools to flag opinions critical of the administration. The suit argues this violates free speech protections under the U.S. Constitution.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation says the U.S. used AI to scan millions of immigrants’ social media posts for political dissent. Surveillance sold as “security” is still censorship in a new uniform.

The destruction of Gaza and USAID represents a dual challenge for the US Opinion: The dismantling of the very U.S. agency that was best positioned to help with Gaza's reconstruction is a self-inflicted wound.

Did Congress approve this?
I find it difficult to believe the President could unilaterally do this.

A large crowd gathers in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on a bright day. People hold signs and banners high, and one person waves an American flag that leans across the frame. The Capitol dome rises in the background, its statue visible against a pale blue sky.

🇺🇸 That day the Capitol looked like it had wandered into one of its own paintings. The flag leaned forward like it meant to ask a question, and the people below answered with their feet. Every shout was a line in the same declaration: this country won’t take to kings, not now, not ever.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Good thing they got rid of USAID so they could give all those funds to a single country.

Trump doubles the bailout to Argentina, now $40 billion, and Argentina takes all China’s soybean orders away from our American farmers - 7 million tons. Was it Argentina first?

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

GOP Leaders Smear Upcoming 'No Kings' Marches as 'Hate America Rallies' by ‘Terrorists’ | Common Dreams Republican lawmakers smear upcoming "No Kings" rallies as "hate-America" events. Organizers vow peaceful protests against Trump administration.

Mike Johnson says rejecting kings is “hating America.” So, apparently, loyalty to the crown is patriotism now.

This is not what democracy looks like. Anyone who cares at all about the Constitution has to take a stand against this and against MAGA.

Dear Dem Senators:

Do NOT cave. Stand firm.

If you give in you will give what little leverage you have. The Republicans will NOT negotiate for Americans' healthcare costs.

OPM is going to do layoffs anyway.

Threats of no backpay are illegal.

Stand firm.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
