Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

Even a system explicitly designed to prevent tyranny can evolve into one that enables it, if enough people want it to. Formal checks and balances still exist, but informal ones - culture, civic virtue, institutional courage - are ignored, neutralized, or weaponized by polarization.

Today is the day Mr. Hummelgaard wanted to push through a vote on Chat Control in the EU Council. But he failed! 🎉
However, Chat Control will be back.

#ChatControl subjecting billions of daily messages from 450 million EU citizens to invasive scanning is the digital equivalent of requiring a 24/7 surveillance camera in every bedroom in the hopes of catching a handful of criminals.

#ChatControl Pouring immense political capital and technical resources into after-the-fact content scanning distracts from and defunds strategies that could actually prevent abuse from happening in the first place.

#ChatControl creates a deeply undemocratic two-tiered system of digital rights: one where the ruling class can communicate freely and securely, and another where the general populace is subjected to constant, invasive monitoring.

#ChatControl In practice, anyone with sufficient economic or political clout would almost certainly be able to purchase or negotiate scanning exemption, effectively buying privacy for themselves while ordinary citizens remain exposed.

#ChatControl Adding a layer of profound cynicism to the proposal, official communications for government officials, politicians, military, and intelligence agencies would be exempt from the scanning mandate.
Because each and every one of these excepted people are entirely above suspicion right?

#ChatControl of course, those in control are exempt from scanning. Rules for thee but not for me.
This is a tacit admission that such scanning is inherently dangerous. If this technology is too risky for their own communications, it is too risky for any citizen.

#ChatControl inverts the bedrock legal principle of presumption of innocence, replacing it with a "guilty until proven innocent" model where everyone's private life is subject to constant vetting by flawed, automated systems.

#ChatControl replaces targeted, evidence-based investigation with a system of generalized, suspicionless scanning that treats 450 million EU citizens as permanent suspects by default.

#ChatControl Democratic legal systems require that state surveillance be an extraordinary measure, typically demanding a warrant issued by a judge based on probable cause or reasonable suspicion against a specific individual or group.
Chat control completely violates this due process.
