THREAD. As you read chilling stories emerging about the illegal surveillance that Trump's DHS has been doing, recognize that federal law makes it nearly impossible for victims to sue feds for constitutional violations. A minimum part of Democratic platform should call for this.

one of the FBI’s functions since inception is to passively instill paranoia in Americans critical of institutional authority. this piece reaches back to make it seem like that’s something that happened 60 years ago, but that is historically indefensible.

This is no longer dystopian fiction. The authoritarian surveillance state is real and it is here now.

A Florida police officer met a woman on a TV set, surveilled her for weeks, stalked her, and nearly caused a head-on collision while chasing her to pull her over.

While we’re on the subject, I also think it’s weird freak behavior to be an adult who makes Hating Children For Merely Existing their entire personality.
