Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan

With a rogue SCOTUS majority, I expect “pack the court” will rapidly become a mainstream position.
The Supreme Court just handed Texas Republicans at least 2 more House seats & possibly up to 5 despite the state GOP explicitly justifying their remap based on an unconstitutional use of race in redistricting.
Unsurprising from this court, and it's a bad sign for the upcoming Voting Rights Act case

BREAKING: Supreme Court sides with Texas Republicans in fight over congressional map. The new gerrymandered map will be used in the 2026 midterms. The vote is 6–3, with the Republican appointees siding with Texas.

It’s not often that the governors of California and Florida are on the same page, but this week they’re aligned in opposition to the White House’s latest plan to expand offshore oil drilling near both their shores.
Trump’s plan for drilling off California and Florida faces bipartisan opposition
His "idiotic proposal" is "dead in the water," says Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom.

This is the same administration that has ordered the return of a Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery--one which celebrates the "loyal slave" narrative as represented by the images of the "faithful mammy" and a body servant (slave) in Confederate uniform. 🗃️
