@solomonschuler @torproject that's nit how #MassSurveillance and #DragnetSurveillanve works:

• Having a #VPN or using it (and leaving a financial palertrail about it) makes one #suspicious.

Not to mention that under the #Trump-Regime we cannot assume that "#RuleOfLaw" and "#DueProcess" is a thing anymore, as he forcibly disappears U.S. citizens in #ConcentrationCamps overseas!

• #Proton has snitched on customers for misdemeanours.

So if you want to pay for a #eMail provider, (which is good cuz all #Freemailer suck!) consider one that doesn't collect any #PII whatsoever and has anonymous payment options for you (i.e. @monocles)...

#Epstein asserted his "5th, 6th and 14th Amendment Rights" when asked if he and #PedoDon "socialized" with "underaged girls".

Most of us know about "taking the 5th", how many of us know/knew off the top of our heads the 6th & 14th?

Because of the #immigrant #deportation sweeps, we have only recently become familiar with the 6th (Right to counsel) & 14th (#DueProcess.) #PedoInChief

In his telling, his alma mater had devolved into a bastion of bigotry that public money should not underwrite. He said the admin could choose, if it wished, to direct its largess toward other institutions. The case, he argued, was more about money for #Harvard than any profound matters like #FreeSpeech.

Judge Burroughs suggested that Harvard might very well not be such a titan of American academia if the #Trump admin’s cuts stand.

Velchik, himself a #Harvard alumnus, scrambled on Monday to argue that the government was not seeking to decapitate Harvard. Naming a handful of luminaries who had studied at Harvard — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., President John F. Kennedy and even the actor Matt Damon — he insisted that the government was seeking to strengthen and reshape an important American institution that had lost its way.

“What I’m wrestling with is this idea that the executive branch can decide what is discriminatory or racist,” she said, and then make “these ad hoc decisions without any procedure around it.”

She also appeared dismissive of the government’s contention that a different court, one dealing with financial disputes, should be hearing the case instead of her own.

#Harvard, he said, “should have read the fine print.”

Harvard has sharply disputed the idea that it condones discrimination. Steven P. Lehotsky, a lawyer for Harvard, told Judge Burroughs on Monday that the #Trump admin’s quest to punish Harvard was a “blatant, unrepentant violation of the #FirstAmendment.”

He added, “It’s the constitutional third rail, or it should be, for the government to insist it can engage in viewpoint discrimination.”

…Michael Velchik, the #DOJ lawyer at the hearing, asserted on Monday that the #Trump admin had the #power to decide where it spent taxpayer money.

“The choice was that the government does not want to fund research at institutions that fail to address antisemitism to its satisfaction,” he said, arguing that #Harvard’s rejection of the admin’s terms freed the admin to terminate any contracts with the #university.

The judge unleashed a barrage of pointed questions at the lone #DOJ lawyer. She demanded to know, for instance, how the #Trump admin could reasonably tie withdrawal of #medical #research #funding to concerns about the civil rights of Jewish people.

And she appeared bothered by the admin’s hurried approach to attacking #Harvard’s research funding, suggesting there were potentially “staggering” constitutional consequences if the govt could punish a #university without #DueProcess.

@heidilifeldman Damn. This is just one small clip, but speaks to the treatment:

"in April at the downtown Miami jail, staff turned off a surveillance camera and a “disturbance control team” brutalized detainees who were protesting a lack of medical attention to one of their number who was coughing up blood."
