This is a huge win that you might have missed last week: we successfully pressured airlines to shut down their data broker, which was selling passenger data to the government without a court order. I'm going to keep at it until other industries to follow suit.
After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

Une séquence montre le système de défense aérienne d’un navire de #l’US_Navy se verrouiller automatiquement, l’espace d’un instant, sur un avion de ligne.

L’incident a été rapidement maîtrisé, mais soulève des questions sur les risques d’automatisation.

Just informed of a Data breach involving my SSN over a year AFTER it happened.

12 MONTHS for someone to open accounts in my name without any notification from the insurer.

Am I already frozen? Yes, this is the third time an insurer/medical facility leaked my PHI. THIRD!

The Government Lawyers Database is live. A lot of people have put a lot of work into this, and it's definitely worth taking the time to check out.

What is it? The short is, it documents the good and the bad that government attorneys are doing right now.

In a remarkably interesting move, the Eugene Police Department, in response to ACLU-Oregon's lawsuit against the city, has released a map of all the installed Flock cameras.

This is a major win for Eyes off Eugene.

Oregon lawmakers have long been allowed to hire their own relatives.

Earlier this year, I started wondering whether some of these spouses and children are doing enough work to justify their taxpayer-funded paychecks. Here’s what I found.

Oregon lawmakers quietly hire their family members with taxpayer money — and little oversight
More than two dozen states ban lawmakers from hiring their own relatives. Oregon does not.

“ICE is quietly building up its ability to spy on Americans' phones

The agency activated a $2 million contract with Paragon, a service that offers the ability to remotely hack into someone's phone.

[Also] ICE entered into an $11 million contract for Cellebrite devices…to break into a locked phone”

Honestly, shes been divorced like three times. Biblically, shes an adulterer and should be stoned.

But naturally, the gays are ruining the sanctity of marriage - not people like her, adulterers who have an actual punishment outlined in scripture.
Kim's the new Karen apparently. She's appalling. SCOTUS leave it as it is! Adults who marry are no one else's business.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

We will urge the *full* Ninth Circuit to vacate today’s decision by a three-judge panel, before illegal Guard deployments can occur. A Ninth Circuit judge has already called for a vote on whether the case should be heard by the full court. Our team will file a brief encouraging the court to do so.
