It would mean the world to me if you guys could help me share this around again today to try to help me and my gf get out of this state in the near future. Every bit helps and we are only $100 away from the halfway point💚

We need to start calling them serial killers at some point. Police hopping from city to city killing black people and still getting hired because there's no national database for them to be put on
A Black Florida man says he’s lucky to be alive after officers allegedly beat him during a stop over a seatbelt violation, and now the confrontation is headed toward a federal lawsuit.

Extremely shameful that Kohen Wiley’s murder has not gained more attention. This baby was killed by the police, and nothing has been done, and it’s being swept under the rug.
Some prominent waves of repression against anarchists in the US include:
1. Haymarket (1886) Eight anarchists convicted of conspiracy in a highly politicized, evidence-free trial. Four were hanged, and one died by suicide. Upended the early militant labor movement in Chicago.
NEW: The DEA permitted hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to hit the streets of New Mexico in bid to build prosecutions
“We poisoned our community to make cases,” DEA Agent David Howell tells @AP
“We 100% got people killed”

Most people who care about privacy focus on their operating system. Linux over Windows. open source over proprietary.
That's good. it's also not enough.
Here's what's running below your OS on almost every Intel computer made since 2006:
The Intel Management Engine is a separate processor inside your chipset running its own closed-source operating system called Minix 3. It has direct access to your RAM, storage, network, and peripherals. it runs at Ring -3 below your kernel, below your hypervisor, below everything your OS can see or control. it stays active even when your computer is powered off as long as it's plugged in.
You cannot audit it. you cannot disable it through normal means. You cannot detect what it's doing from inside your OS.
The EFF called it a security hazard in 2017. The Libreboot project said it has complete access to and control over your PC, including the ability to track keystrokes, capture screen images, and examine all running applications.
Intel confirmed multiple vulnerabilities in ME in 2017 affecting 6th through 8th generation Core processors, Xeon, and Atom chips. Researchers demonstrated it could be used to inject rootkits remotely via the network interface.
The only known method to fully disable it was discovered by Positive Technologies. They found a hidden bit in the firmware labeled 'HAP enable' part of an NSA program called High Assurance Platform.
The NSA has a switch to disable Intel ME.
you don't.
if you want hardware that doesn't include ME: AMD processors do not have the same implementation. Purism builds laptops with ME neutralized. The Libreboot project has a list of hardware that can run without proprietary firmware.
Your threat model determines how far down this rabbit hole you need to go.
But you should know the rabbit hole exists.
