Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan

Feeling alarmed isn’t hysteria, it’s civic literacy.
Every democracy that slid into authoritarianism reached this stage: when partisan leaders in SCOTUS, Congress, and the Cabinet stop acting as checks and start acting as shields for the regime.
We’re there.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.
