Trist at #HolderDeOrd forsvant, det var et ganske fantastisk og verdifullt prosjekt…

I ti år har «Holder de ord» faktasjekket stortingspolitikerne. Nå er det slutt.

I snart 10 år har datanerdene bak «Holder de ord» gått politikerne etter i sømmene. Nå legger de ned driften av nettstedet.

Dette forslaget hadde nok dessverre kommet og fått støtte fra regjeringen nesten uansett hvilke politikere som hadde sittet med makten….

Det er skremmende…

Politikere i posisjon er jo som oftest bare lydige og lettlurte løpegutter og jenter for forvaltningens inkompetente forslag og faste forvaltningspraksis, det er derfor det så sjelden blir noen ekte forandringer ved regjeringsskifte.

Uansett hvilken regjering vi har, så ser de ut til å ha stø kurs mot et overvåkingssamfunn.

Regjeringen vil gi politiet & PST adgang til å hente ut IP-data, altså informasjon som viser hvem som står bak nettbruk, ikke fordi noen er mistenkt for lovbrudd, men for å «forebygge».

For #presse, #kildevern og #ytringsfrihet er dette en #alvorlig #trussel – og i strid med norsk høyesterett.

Staten vil finne ut hvem som ytrer seg anonymt. Forslaget er farlig.

Det er ikke forebygging, mener Trine Skei Grande med flere.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

Chicago's ICE raids are not making the city feel safer, and Trump is escalating the tension at every turn

Chicago’s ICE Raids Aren't Just About Crime or Even Immigration

It should be obvious by now that President Donald Trump’s deliberately aggressive incursions into blue cities are not about curbing crime, but about exercising raw power. Militarizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, attempting to federalize National Guard troops and issuing threats to jail opponents — these are not the actions of a leader intent on improving public safety.
