for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…

Please god, let no one pry the fingers off the phones of these man-childs.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.
