#PrivacyFirst #HumanRights tools like ours should be public goods. They’re not, which is why we must reclaim how #InternetFreedom is funded. This funding campaign is as participatory, decentralized, and resilient as our #FLOSS work, liberating us from single point-of-failure legacy funding models.⬇️

“Blue Bonds are the good version of Trump's beloved shitcoins…Blue Bonds are a source of public prosperity, backed by a present or future Fed under democratic control, accountable to the people.” - @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy Cory Doctorow pluralistic.net/2025/10/04/f...

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Lea, who holds a Ph.D. in cryptography and serves on the USENIX board, will discuss designing systems that make doing the right thing easy. See more about the session here: www.usenix.org/conference/u...

From ransomware to state-sponsored actors, security is deeply entangled with people, systems, and incentives. The key lesson is that security isn't just about fixing bugs, but about understanding motivations and building alliances. 2/3

"The share feature creates a predictably formatted link which allowed people to search Google for the indexed material." I'm old enough to remember when people got criminally prosecuted as hackers under the CFAA for this exact behavior.

There are concerts and plays happening. Pride parties. People who live in DTLA (80k+) and people out at bars and restaurants in Downtown L.A.

ICE activity is happening across the country, and will likely draw protests in many places. Trump is authorizing military deployment nationwide, regardless of whether protests involve violence *or are even happening yet.* 14/19

Moreover, the line between military and civilian government is one of the most critical protections for democracy. An army turned inward can quickly become an instrument of tyranny. That’s why domestic deployment should be an absolute last resort. 11/19 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

The Posse Comitatus Act Explained

The law generally prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

brennancenter.org

Civil unrest should be handled by civilian law enforcement except in the most extreme situations. Soldiers are trained to fight and destroy an enemy; they aren’t trained to safely handle and deescalate civil unrest situations. 10/19 www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

The memorandum says that the Guard will be protecting ICE personnel and federal property. As a practical matter, this will almost certainly involve serving basic police functions, such as physical crowd control, that the military normally isn’t allowed to perform. 9/19

But it would be a mistake to focus too much on which statutory power is being used here. What matters it that Trump is federalizing the Guard for the purpose of policing Americans’ protest activity. That’s dangerous for both public safety and democracy. 8/19

Trump is instead relying on a statute, 10 USC 12406, that allows the president to federalize the Guard when there is a rebellion against the authority of the U.S. government or when “the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.” 6/19

Ordinarily using federal troops (including federalized National Guard forces) to suppress civil unrest would be illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. But Congress can legislate exceptions. The relevant exception here is the Insurrection Act. 4/19 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

The Insurrection Act Explained

The law, which lets the president deploy the military domestically and use it for civilian law enforcement, is dangerously vague and in urgent need of reform.

brennancenter.org

That’s alarming enough. But Trump has also authorized deployment of troops anywhere in the country where protests against ICE are occurring or are likely to occur, even if they are entirely peaceful. That is unprecedented and a clear abuse of the law. 2/19

If you are planning to peacefully protest, take heed…a thread.

Liza Goitein@lizagoitein.bsky.social · last yr.

No president has ever federalized the National Guard for purposes of responding to potential future civil unrest anywhere in the country. Preemptive deployment is literally the opposite of deployment as a last resort. It would be a shocking abuse of power and the law. 15/19
