It's unfortunately not. Biometrics aren't considered "testimony" and therefore aren't protected in the same way a pin or password is.

Administering elections is a power that's constitutionally designated to the states. Washington cannot simply choose to run them, and if you think states would allow that, I have news for you.

Check if you're in a blue state too, because every state purges every year, and they all have different rationales for removing folks.

Sort of/not exactly. They use a program called Covenant Eyes that reports their search history to their accountabilibuddy. In Johnson's case, that's his son (and vice versa). It's meant to shame them into not looking at porn. It's also the program that Josh Duggar circumvented via Linux partition.

WHAT EFFING FUNDING???? At mine organizers were handing out bottled water (it was quite hot for October here, nearly 80Β°) and literally asking for donations to cover the costs. Guess the Soros checks didn't clear.

Definitely also stop using biometrics for your devices. CBP aside, courts are divided on whether or not 5A applies, even if you're stopped by a regular cop (such as at a protest, etc.).

Appendage (2023) After hitting a breaking point, Hannah's inner thoughts physicalize into a monstrous creature that threatens to upend her life.

Day 2: my pick for "2020s release"

I think I got more out of this than Mike, though he did enjoy it. Manages to physicalize anxiety and also still be pretty fun/like a more sophisticated Basket Case.

I've seen this firsthand with reintroduced elk populations. They're protected in several counties here, and you can get quite close to them (even a group of humans) and they won't startle. The bands that migrate to other nearby counties where they aren't protected learn quickly that humans == threat
