The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

There are 900 US protests on Sa 4/19. If you loathe the current administration, you'll want to find one & go register your opinion loudly. If you are happy right now, I have no idea what to say to you, except I hope you soon see the president for the circus grifter he is. tinyurl.com/y2wvv48y

Language used by individuals associated with the federal government who deported people without trial or due process to a concentration camp in El Salvador, defying a court order, has a specific resonance that, historically, has been used to change regime type.

The bad news is that Chuck Schumer is not up for re-election until 2028. The good news is that he can resign right now—in fact, he should do that twice.
