Wagging the word "target" around does not change fact that 702 is used to obtain access, w/o a warrant, to US person comms, w/o even suspicion of wrong-doing. Moreover, 702 is used to knowingly collect on entirely domestic comms under the 2014 exception.https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/952383097038888960 …

I really love that you and
@emptywheel are continuing to hammer the useful idiots on this issue but I think I've lost hope of it ever changing for the better. We crossed a Rubicon after 9/11 into ubiquitous, constant surveillance of everyone and I can't see how we ever go back.
It IS worthwhile to lay out precisely what people are voting for. The Tor exception, the unreviewable AG authority, the back door searches. When the way those are used to impact select populations, we'll need to know who to blame for knowingly authorizing it all.

Oh, very true. You'll have to excuse my cynicism, and you're right, any meaningful change only comes when people like you cast a harsh light on what is going on, so I salute all of you for doing at least that. History will judge those who helped the surveillance state harshly.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Good thing our last president was
#BLACK, which of course absolves him of all wrong doing (Its not like he explicitly requested American citizens be eligible for indefinite detention or anything). -
Yeah when I get the "do you have three heads?" look from a mainstream Dem it's usually either when I bring something like this or his looking the other way at financial crimes by large banks up. Obama was a corporatist centrist wet dream.
