So, if you were planning to or did attend a protest related to this year's inauguration and happened to stumble upon disruptj20.org, your information could potentially be handed over to the DOJ.

"That information could be used to identify any individuals who used this site to exercise and express political speech protected under the Constitution's First Amendment," DreamHost says. "That should be enough to set alarm bells off in anyone's mind."

Sounds similar to the Trump administration's idiotic "voter integrity commission". Do they honestly believe that they can punish people for exercising their constitutional right to protest? Jesus H. Christ, that's absolutely f'n ridiculous. Good on Dreamhost for challenging this bull***t.

I'm assuming this is Trump trying desperately to prove that more people would have shown up to his inauguration if there hadn't been so many protesters. And like the petulant child that he is, he wants some kind of revenge on said protesters.

The IP addresses would probably be useful in targeting ads to suppress voting.

San Francisco and the state of California joins Chicago as the latest city/state to sue the Trump administration over their sanctuary city punishment.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/u...ty-policy.html

Quote:
Intensifying California’s standoff with the Trump administration over immigration policy, the California attorney general sued the Justice Department on Monday over the administration’s plans to cut off millions of dollars in federal funding to so-called sanctuary cities unless they begin cooperating with federal immigration agents.

The state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, argued in the lawsuit that the Justice Department’s threat, made by Attorney General Jeff Sessions last month, undermines public safety and violates the Constitution.

“It’s a low blow to our men and women who wear the badge for the federal government to threaten their crime-fighting resources in order to force them to do the work of the federal government,” Mr. Becerra said at a news conference. “We’re in the best position to determine how best to enforce the law and keep our people safe.”
Quote:
The San Francisco and California lawsuits say that by tying the grant funding to immigration matters, the Justice Department is exceeding the constitutional authority of the executive branch. Only Congress can set such conditions, they say.
Quote:
San Francisco, which could lose about $1.4 million if the new terms of the grant are enforced, uses the money for diversion programs that focus on treating and rehabilitating defendants, services for young people at risk of committing crimes, drug deterrence and other initiatives.

I waited all evening to see that. Then, just as he was coming on, my Shaw cable decided that moment would be a great time to lose connection to the server - missed the entire interview. Picture came back just in time to see Saul Goodman and his plum-coloured hair.

Can someone please do me a huge favour and post the interview? Please? And thank you!

Colbert's opening monologue was absolutely epic, by the way.
