And we just elected the most anti-civil-right president in history, who is backed by the anti-civil-rights party controlling all three houses of government. As opposed to the other anti-civil-rights party? Or was there a bunch of civil rights progress during the 111th congress when they controlled the legislature and executive, that nobody ever noticed? I don't seem to remember hearing landmark civil rights legislation coming from that congress. Or -- relevent to this surveillance thread -- seeing the PATRIOT Act repealed. Not only did they just not do anything, they reauthorized section 215. Remember that section? One of the powers Snowden revealed to be abused by the security state? And downplayed by Obama as needing reform? But yeah, complain about Trump/Republicans in a thread about surveillance. That's productive.
