Today in Labor History May 20, 1949: The U.S. established the National Security Agency. Up until recently it was (and probably still is) the nation’s largest spy agency, in spite of massive cuts and mass firings by the Trump administration. The NSA currently engages in worldwide mass data collection as well as physically bugging targets. They were likely behind the Stuxnet software attack that severely damaged Iran’s nuclear program. The NSA spied on anti-Vietnam War activists and continues to spy on U.S. citizens. Many of their secret surveillance programs were leaked by Edward Snowden, who was forced to flee the country. He is now living in exile in Russia. Private companies, like AT&T and Verizon have collaborated with the NSA to help them spy on U.S. citizens. They supposedly have access to all communications made via Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL, Skype, Apple and Paltalk.

I’d like to say the good news is that the vast majority of this data is pornographic. Problem is, they’re using people’s porn habits to discredit and embarrass them, particularly Muslim clerics and activists. According to a July 2014 report in the Washington Post, 90% of those being surveilled by the NSA are ordinary Americans, not intended targets. But since they’re surveilling every communication made by nearly everyone in the U.S., they’re surveilling pretty much everyone. So, the obvious question is: Why are 10% of all Americans (a full 33 million people) considered targets? And if there really are 33 million of us who are opposed the U.S. government, how come we keep ending up with such shit politicians? And this particular data was true prior to Trump taking office. One can presume that everyone who has ever said anything critical of the U.S., or Trump, is now in the crosshairs.

When russia invaded #Crimea in 2014, Bohdan Ziza chose to resist.

An #artist and #activist, he used peaceful protest to speak out against russia's war and oppression. For this, russia sentenced him to 15 years in prison. But even behind bars, Bohdan's voice was not silenced.

Today, his sister Oleksandra shares his message as part of our Voices of a Just Peace campaign. Because a just peace means freedom for all political prisoners.

@Impossible_PhD

I sympathise deeply with you. 😢 I recall a few years' back when a longtime (social justice?) #activist *literally* laughed in my face, saying:

"You think being introduced in the [#Alberta] Legislature is strategic?"

My response: "When your government is trying to erase your existence, being in the permanent written #Hansard [official government records] IS significant."

He apologised.

The decision by US Dist Judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, NJ, means any appeals in the #Palestinian #activist's case will be heard by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, which has a 6-6 split between active judges appointed by Republican & Democratic presidents, instead of the #5thCircuit, the country's most #conservative appeals court.

I used to hang out on mastodon.lol until early 2023 when that instance shut down. I then moved to todon.nl and recently decided to hop on to blahaj.zone
