Think what you want about Snowden and Russia. He did an immense public service by exposing mass surveillance programs that multiple courts later found to be unconstitutional. The newspapers that happily collected prizes for their reporting on the abuses should say this clearly.

In recognition of the 20th anniversary of the Patriot Act, the Fourth Amendment Advisory Committee hosted a panel on the state of surveillance in the US. Listen as @radsandy explains why warrantless mass surveillance is racist. #BurnthePatriotAct. SIGN: bit.ly/Burn-Patriot-Act

Bombs are bad foreign policy. Period.
Pres. Biden was right to end 20 yrs of an unwinnable war. But we must abandon failed policies that kill the innocent & erode America's moral standing. We must provide redress when civilians are killed by our mistakes. Read my letter w/ @SenatorDurbin: leahy.senate.gov/press/durbi…

"Loopholes in the law allow shady and discriminatory data brokers to sell our private information," says @RadSandy. This new legislation "would close these loopholes and stop federal agencies from doing an end-run around our constitutional rights.” freepress.net/news/press-rel…

FBI arrests BLM protester, claiming his social media posts show he is “on a path to radicalization”. A judge determined he is dangerous bc of these posts and held him with no bond. This is where we’re headed if we accept this domestic terrorism frame. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

You can't fight fascism with authoritarianism. You can't fight white supremacist violence with policies that uphold white supremacy. We wrote about the dangers of responding to this crisis with domestic terrorism laws or expanding surveillance and policing fastcompany.com/90592060/cap…
