Gun owners: your mental health records are now linked to your firearms rights in a federal database.
No law authorized this. No vote was taken. No debate was held.
The connection was assembled through executive action and inter-agency agreements. Congress never touched it.
Here is why this matters right now: red flag laws in 19 states allow firearm removal based on mental health history alone. The administration that built this database holds your records. So does every administration that follows.
A future government hostile to gun rights inherits this map. Permanently.
This is the same surveillance infrastructure sweeping up 8 million federal workers' prescriptions and diagnoses, 79 million Medicaid enrollees' home addresses and banking data handed to ICE, and veterans' PTSD and traumatic brain injury records now accessible to DOGE and DHS.
Zero laws passed by Congress authorized any of it.
Every piece was built by Trump's executive orders, regulatory notice, and secret agency agreements. You must understand this clearly: every tool assembled today transfers to whoever wins next.

I am the Director of Professional Signal Intelligence at LinkedIn.

Every time you log in, we search your computer.

Not metaphorically.

We run code that scans your installed software.

Every browser extension.

Every application.

We catalog it.

We transmit it to our servers.

We share it with a third-party cybersecurity firm you've never heard of.

The tracking pixel is zero pixels wide.

We hid it off-screen.

You never consented.

We never asked.

Our privacy policy doesn't mention it.

That's networking.

We call the program Project Handshake internally.

The Slack channel is handshake-telem.

In 2024 we scanned for 461 products.

By February this year we scan for over 6,000.

I don't know what all of them are.

Nobody does.

Someone on my team added categories for browser extensions that identify practicing Muslims.

Someone added extensions for neurodivergent users.

Someone added 509 job search tools.

That last one is my favorite.

We can tell which of our one billion users are secretly looking for new jobs.

On the platform where their current boss checks their profile.

That's networking.

We scan for 200 products that compete with LinkedIn's sales tools.

Apollo. Lusha. ZoomInfo.

We know each user's real name, employer, and job title.

We mapped exactly which companies use which competitor products.

We extracted their customer lists from their users' browsers.

Without anyone knowing.

Then we sent legal threats to the users we caught.

The EU told us to open our platform to third-party tools.

We published two restricted APIs.

They handle 0.07 calls per second.

Our internal API, Voyager, handles 163,000 calls per second.

In Microsoft's 249-page compliance report, the word "Voyager" appears zero times.

That's networking.

I presented our Software Disclosure Rate metrics at a leadership summit last quarter.

The conference room is called The Fishbowl.

Glass walls.

Appropriate.

There's a plaque on the wall.

Q3 Competitive Landscape Award.

I won it for the extension scanning initiative.

Someone asked if users had a way to opt out.

I said they can close their browser.

The room laughed.

I wasn't sure why.

I browse LinkedIn on a Chromebook with no extensions.

Most of the team does.

The platform that helps you get hired searches your computer every time you visit.

We know your name.

We know your employer.

We know your religion.

Your disabilities.

Your politics.

Whether you're looking to leave.

That's networking.

The system works exactly as designed.

I designed it.

You own a gun and two bullets.

A pedo is in your garage raping and eating kids, but 4 blocks away some Crips are dealing crack.

I’m shooting the pedo twice.

Son, you've never seen what it looks like when cowboys decide they have had enough of somethin and thats what is comin in Texas.
Michigan is vastly different than the Lone Star state. I dont have a clue how they handle business up there but here....Everyone from the good ol boy Bubbas of East Texas to the windy West Texas oilfield roughnecks and the cowboys in between is armed to the teeth.
A land that is a mix of Catholic and old school Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists you name it..
This land is Christian dominated.
Its also home to more than 1.4 million Veterans and a large percentage of those are GWOT veterans and combat veterans back to WWII.
When we decide we had enough of somethin or someone they have to redraw maps. Texas just hasn't woken up yet and realized the level of threat thats been creeping into this state with the spread of this religious ideology. When it does you'll be seeing a decrease in the number of problems in Texas.

[Jason Premo • Acclaim Aerospace @JasonPremoMFG]

Uh oh I think I'm shadowbanned because I told Ford CEO to GFY because they spent $billions on stock buybacks instead of creating tech schools with 1000's of scholarships

Instead he's busy doing ted talks about not enough skilled talent.

@jimfarley98, respectfully, GFY 🤡
