Listen to how casually Justice Gorsuch presents as fact the idea that remedying racial gerrymandering requires racial discrimination.

“This is essentially despotism as a service.”

Over two decades, a little-known company called First Wap created a surveillance empire. Its phone tracking tech has targeted politicians, journalists, actors, and maybe even you.
