2013: After NSA revelations, I ran a Twitter account posting quotes from the Church Commitee Report that were still relevant.
2022: I meet @brianhochman.bsky.social after he published his history of wire tapping The Listeners.
2026: Our abridged version hits stands for it’s 50th anniversary.

Another liar. The ICE agents prevented a local physician from attending to her while she was slumped over in the car after being shot.
Sen. Lankford blatantly lies about what the video of Renee Good's killing shows: "A classic law enforcement moment -- they have to fire their weapon and then when you see her car crash, law enforcement is running to her to provide aid. They're never looking to be able to take a life of individuals."

From what I saw, they do not have the capacity to do large crowd control and we're most likely relying on local protection.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.

I’m no big city newspaperman, but this is the sort of thing you publish. Or call a member of Congress and ask if they were notified that this was about to happen.
🟡 NEW: The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops.
