good stuff
I’m a person that leans to the right and I’ve been advocating for this bullshit to be repealed for years. FISA warrants are absolutely unconstitutional and un-american. 9/11 legislation was a huge mistake. Don’t trust the government. Question everything.
But like clockwork, both parties continue to keep this crap alive. Our government is compromised

The police continue to be allowed to use our tax dollars to buy our data as evidence in order to avoid the hassle of getting a warrant. Cool.
