In the surveillance society, data brokers will make it easy for repressive state governments to find who has gone to an abortion clinic in another state.

Payment applications will also be used to try to find people to prosecute.

When you go to an appointment related in any way to an abortion, don't take any digital devices with you, unless it's a laptop running GNU/Linux that won't connect to the internet except when you tell it to.

And don't use a digital device to pay with. Pay in cash, for the abortion or pills, and all activities related to traveling to get there. That way, you don't need to give your real name and address.

This is one especially vicious aspect of the general injustice of widespread surveillance and tracking. It leads to many sorts of repression, so we need to reject it.

Mike Esper, secretary of defense under the wrecker, reports that the wrecker wanted to fire missiles at Mexican drug labs.

Aside from the outrageousness of this act of war, I don't think the US could have located them accurately enough to succeed in destroying them that way. And I suspect each missile would cost a thousand times the cost of a drug lab.

The department subsequently tried to block Esper from mentioning this in his book, but backed down. Esper suggests that it was acting politically, trying to protect the wrecker rather than the US.

The wrecker did so many provocative things to Mexico that the idea of trying to protect the US's relations with Mexico by concealing this proposal seems silly to me.

The Putin forces' attacks are causing massive environmental damage to Ukraine. People are keeping track of them, secretly, so as to avoid helping the Putin forces cause more damage.
