The GUARD Act’s sponsors claim it will keep our children safe, but that’s not true. It will undermine safety and autonomy by replacing parental guidance with government mandates and building mass surveillance infrastructure instead of privacy controls. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.

The Pedo-Protector Prez ordered a brand new distraction & the Dept. of War (actually the Dept. of Defense: a mini-distraction within a distraction, no extra charge!) is delivering by expanding our ongoing unlawful policy of randomly bombing the tiny boats of fishermen with no due process whatsoever.
