Trans ppl under attack from the govt could be identified and outed w/o their consent.
Undocumented immigrants would be cut off from the ability to communicate w advocates.
Young ppl seeking abortions won't be able to access info safely and anonymously.
This is what congress is advancing today 👇🏻
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
The only options here are to choose a service in a jurisdiction that won’t respond to American law enforcement, self host, or use an anonymous payment method. @proton.me supports cash and various cryptocurrencies.
Important that people read the article & understand the mechanisms by which these things occur so they can determine their best options now and in the future (i.e., if the Swiss gov't ends the MLAT, the FBI will no longer have that avenue to collect this data. With today's USG, it is a possibility).
maybe if we kill a few more hundred children we can finally liberate them from their oppression
the whole framework of privilege can be weaponized in service of empire extremely easily; you have to always ask yourself which voices are you privileging and to what end?
or you could just uniformly oppose American military action and be right 99% of the time
hot take: if you're an American, this is not a nuanced issue. you do not need to "listen to Iranian voices" here. you need to tell your leaders to stop bombing a country and killing people. that's literally it.
you should educate yourself about history and politics for sure! but also: this particular issue is not complicated. we live in the machine that kills people outside of America and we need to stop it from killing more people.
May every dictator die at the hands of those they oppress.
Not to stan too hard for my friends, but this remains a top-of-all-time anarchist banner:
OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth.
We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.
As capitalist profiteering hits its limits, despots are returning to amassing wealth the old-fashioned way—by brutal state violence.
The economy has been sustained by the AI boom—a boom in military technology. From Caracas and Minneapolis to Tehran, we can see the future they are trying to create.
The hundreds of thousands senselessly slaughtered in Gaza, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, and Ukraine show what awaits down this road.
The attack on Iran is an attack on all of us, on our ability to imagine a future without continuous wars benefitting a billionaire elite.
We must stop them or perish.
Do not forget the people of Lebanon either, who have been suffering the "preemptive" bombardment of Israel for well over a year and a half and are suffering it intensified tenfold today
For the Israeli government, the entire Mideast is the West Bank, now. This attack shows that they are determined to treat hundreds of millions the way they treat Palestinians.
In the US, Trump's decision to declare war without consulting congress shows that he already sees himself as a dictator.
the US once again sending the message loud and clear: never negotiate, just get nukes. Never compromise, just get nukes. Never give in to sanctions, just get nukes.
what could go wrong
Standard American diplomacy. American history is positively riddled with broken agreements and sneak attacks against non-white folk.
Another Trump sneak attack while pretending to want diplomacy. The media keeps falling for it.
also rolling around my head just how much TV attention desert storm got, and how it seems to have convinced every government official - especially the most TV obsessed ones, natch - that any military action we take can be resolved in a snap and no amount of failures can dislodge this thought

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0
Maybe we should stop using the euphemism "defense contractor" since they are clearly not doing the job for the sake of defense.
My ex’s dad worked for Lockheed and she didn’t love that I always described him as being an arms dealer.
There is always a tweet.
