Interesting post and no paywall. I would quote from the article, except for the following at the end of the article:

1. You can quote 3 paragraphs on DU w/o copyright issues

Thanks for the link. Horrifying

2. Yeah, that's what I normally do, but due to the tag at the bottom of the article

I decided to err on the side of caution.

3. I did a thread about how sneaky Sessions was in securing this bullshit warrant:

4. I saw that post.

He went to a retired, unassigned, ancient judge, who probably doesn't even know how to Tweet. Glad to see they are fighting back!

5. Heads up to everyone...this WILL continue to a problem.

I urge people to use a VPN AND a private window ( firefox has that option) to surf. No footprints.
A good vpn will keep zero records.

Really concerned that Russia and China are now outlawing VPNs.
As long as we are a Russian vassal state, Sessions will try anything.
