The US House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend the Section 702 spy program. It passed without an amendment that would have required the FBI to obtain a warrant to access Americans’ information.

    The police continue to be allowed to use our tax dollars to buy our data as evidence in order to avoid the hassle of getting a warrant. Cool.

    I’m a person that leans to the right and I’ve been advocating for this bullshit to be repealed for years. FISA warrants are absolutely unconstitutional and un-american. 9/11 legislation was a huge mistake. Don’t trust the government. Question everything.

    But like clockwork, both parties continue to keep this crap alive. Our government is compromised
