whitestodon needs to read MLK’s #FreedomBudget before opining about #UBI

“A Freedom Budget for All Americans” https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/02/a-freedom-budget-for-all-americans-annotated/557024/

then read his “Where Do We Go From Here?”

the King family proved the #fbi was behind his assassination. i believe this UBI project is why he was assassinated.

why?

it was for ALL americans, not just Black people.

capitalists depend on racism to cleave the working classes. ending poverty would end their racist gravy train.

Seems suspect to me. Anyone else?

"In charging a man for allegedly typing in a duress password which wiped his privacy-focused GrapheneOS phone, the U.S. government is trying to intimidate other activists from protecting their data and participating in social movements, Samuel Tunick, the man charged, told 404 Media in an interview on Tuesday.

The case of Tunick, who participated in the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, has resonated across privacy and civil liberties circles. 404 Media first broke news of the case in December. Last week, The Guardian reported additional details including from a court hearing in the case. The maximum sentence for the alleged crime is five years in federal prison.

“I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people against protecting their data and their privacy, and the government hopes to set a precedent that no one has the right to privacy,” Tunick told 404 Media in a conference call with his federal public defender Matthew Dodge."

The substance collected from the van driven by Lorenzo Salgado Araujo when he was shot & #killed by an #ICE agent during a traffic stop in #Houston this month was NOT drugs, acc/to a spox for the Harris County DA’s Office.

This comes after the #FBI filed a warrant application saying the agency had cause to believe that an investigator found illegal drugs in the vehicle after the July 7 #shooting that killed the 52-yr-old Mexican #immigrant & longtime #Texas #resident.

a post i never thought i'd never find in my feeed from someone i follow. i'm jst gonna say this outright, i don't care if you're a #librel or you hate the #president, say what you will, but why the fuck are we still advikating for the death of trump? 8647 or whatever (yes i know exactly what that means). lik him or not, i think wishing death upon him is not only a crime, but is extream in general. mind you this is someone i come to specifically for cybersecurity news, not for political rederick. i usually ignore his political shit (unless it has to do with #cisa , #nsa, or any #cyber invesigations by #fbi) but i don't know if it's possible to ignore this one. hell, i didn't like joe biden, i made my own posts criticizing him at points, and yet i'd never wish death upon him. it's extream.

US lawmakers are alarmed that Bill Pulte, a housing official with no intelligence experience, is poised to take charge of one of the government's most powerful surveillance tools.
