This is not a drill

This is IMPORTANT especially if you live in the USA or use the internet REGULATED by the USA!!!!

Do not scroll. Signal boost. Reblog.

Reblog WITHOUT reading if you really can't right now, I promise all the links and proof are here. People NEED to know this.

( I tried to make this accessible but you can't cater to EVERYONE so please just try your best to get through this or do your own research 🙏)

TLDR: Homeland Security has been tying our social media to our IPs, licenses, posts, emails, selfies, cloud, apps, location, etc through our phones without a warrant using Babel X and will hold that information gathered for 75 years. Certain aspects of it were hushed because law enforcement will/does/has used it and it would give away confidential information about ongoing operations.

This gets renewed in September.

Between this, Agincourt (a VR simulator for cops Directly related to this project), cop city, and widespread demonization of abortions, sex workers, & queer people mixed with qanon/Trumpism, and fascism in Florida, and the return of child labor, & removed abortion rights fresh on our tails it's time for alarms to be raised and it's time for everyone to stop calling us paranoid and start showing up to protest and mutual aid groups.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

These are the same feds who want to build cop city and recreate civilian houses en masse and use facial recognition. The same feds that want cop city to also be a training ground for police across the country. Cop city where they will build civilian neighborhoods to train in.

Widespread mass surveillance against us.

Now let's cut to some parts of the article. May 17th from Vice:

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is using an invasive, AI-powered monitoring tool to screen travelers, including U.S. citizens, refugees, and people seeking asylum, which can in some cases link their social media posts to their Social Security number and location data, according to an internal CBP document obtained by Motherboard.

Called Babel X, the system lets a user input a piece of information about a target—their name, email address, or telephone number—and receive a bevy of data in return, according to the document. Results can include their social media posts, linked IP address, employment history, and unique advertising identifiers associated with their mobile phone. The monitoring can apply to U.S. persons, including citizens and permanent residents, as well as refugees and asylum seekers, according to the document.

“Babel data will be used/captured/stored in support of CBP targeting, vetting, operations and analysis,” the document reads. Babel X will be used to “identify potential derogatory and confirmatory information” associated with travelers, persons of interest, and “persons seeking benefits.” The document then says results from Babel X will be stored in other CBP operated systems for 75 years.

"The U.S. government’s ever-expanding social media dragnet is certain to chill people from engaging in protected speech and association online. And CBP’s use of this social media surveillance technology is especially concerning in connection with existing rules requiring millions of visa applicants each year to register their social media handles with the government. As we’ve argued in a related lawsuit, the government simply has no legitimate interest in collecting and retaining such sensitive information on this immense scale,” Carrie DeCell, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute, told Motherboard in an email.

The full list of information that Babel X may provide to CBP analysts is a target’s name, date of birth, address, usernames, email address, phone number, social media content, images, IP address, Social Security number, driver’s license number, employment history, and location data based on geolocation tags in public posts.

Bennett Cyphers, a special advisor to activist

organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Motherboard in an online chat “the data isn’t limited to public posts made under someone’s real name on Facebook or Twitter.”

The document says CBP also has access to AdID information through an add-on called Locate X, which includes smartphone location data. AdID information is data such as a device’s unique advertising ID, which can act as an useful identifier for tracking a phone and, by extension, a person’s movements. Babel Street obtains location information from a long supply chain of data. Ordinary apps installed on peoples’ smartphones provide data to a company called Gravy Analytics, which repackages that location data and sells it to law enforcement agencies via its related company Venntel. But Babel Street also repackages Venntel’s data for its own Locate X product."

The PTA obtained by Motherboard says that Locate X is covered by a separate “commercial telemetry” PTA. CBP denied Motherboard’s FOIA request for a copy of this document, claiming it “would disclose techniques and/or procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions”.

A former Babel Street employee previously told Motherboard how users of Locate X can draw a shape on a map known as a geofence, see all devices Babel Street has data on for that location, and then follow a specific device to see where else it has been.

Cyphers from the EFF added “most of the people whose location data is collected in this way likely have no idea it’s happening.”

CBP has been purchasing access to location data without a warrant, a practice that critics say violates the Fourth Amendment. Under a ruling from the Supreme Court, law enforcement agencies need court approval before accessing location data generated by a cell phone tower; those critics believe this applies to location data generated by smartphone apps too.

“Homeland Security needs to come clean to the American people about how it believes it can legally purchase and use U.S. location data without any kind of court order. Americans' privacy shouldn't depend on whether the government uses a court order or credit card,” Senator Ron Wyden told Motherboard in a statement. “DHS should stop violating Americans' rights, and Congress should pass my bipartisan legislation to prohibit the government's purchase of Americans' data." CBP has refused to tell Congress what legal authority it is following when using commercially bought smartphone location data to track Americans without a warrant.

Neither CBP or Babel Street responded to a request for comment. Motherboard visited the Babel X section of Babel Street’s website on Tuesday. On Wednesday before publication, that product page was replaced with a message that said “page not found.”

Do you know anything else about how Babel X is being used by government or private clients? Do you work for Babel Street? We'd love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, or email [email protected].

Wow that sounds bad right.

Be a shame if it got worse.

.

It does.

The software (previously Agincourt Solutions) is sold by AI data company Babel Street, was led by Jeffrey Chapman, a former Treasury Department official,, Navy retiree & Earlier in his career a White House aide and intelligence officer at the Department of Defense, according to LinkedIn.

🙃

So what's Agincourt Solutions then right now?

SO FUCKING SUS IN RELATION TO THIS, THATS WHAT

In essence, synthetic BATTLEVR training is a mixture of all three realities – virtual, augmented and physical. It is flexible enough to allow for mission rehearsals of most types and be intuitive enough to make training effective.

Anyway the new CEO of Babel Street (Babel X) as of April is a guy named Michael Southworth and I couldn't find much more on him than that tbh, it's all very vague and missing. That's the most detail I've seen on him.

And the detail says he has a history of tech startups that scanned paperwork and sent it elsewhere, good with numbers, and has a lot of knowledge about cell networks probably.

Every inch more of this I learn as I continue to Google the names and companies popping up... It gets worse.

Monitor phone use. Quit photobombing and filming strangers and for the love of fucking God quit sending apps photos of your actual legal ID to prove your age. Just don't use that site, you'll be fine I swear. And quit posting your private info online. For activists/leftists NO personally identifiable info at least AND DEFINITELY leave your phone at home to Work™!!!

i have only ever loved men that i wanted to be.

which is to say i have only ever loved potential. lives where i am braver, gentler, more giving than i have the capacity to readily be.

i covet the journeys of the men resting at my waist, their bangs matted to their brows, their mouths full of me.

it is always the closest i feel to divinity.

Didn't Rose Christo claim she cowrote My Immortal as well for clout and to publicize the book she was writing? I'm surprised people seem to have forgotten that whole fiasco.

Yeah, that's her. There's a bunch of evidence to show that she didn't in fact write My Immortal (one big one being that the author of My Immortal was a girl named Tara Gillespie, & Rose Christo's first name is actually Theresa, if her brother is to be believed), which is on the blog @rosechristo1 right now. I truly think she just did this to gain notoriety for her upcoming book, which ended up getting dropped by her publisher.

I also initially thought that she was claiming Cree heritage FIRST in order to wave away any criticism of her shitty book I read, but now I'm thinking she started claiming Cree ancestry out of fetishizing Cree people & AFTER writing her shitty book. She also claimed Lenape ancestry randomly despite claiming her dad was Cree (first plains, then she also randomly added James Bay Cree too??) and her mom was White. She has also, unfortunately, written about Shoshone & Lenape people :I

#shes literally obsessed her whole thimg is wtiting about ndn trauma & gay Native men #anonymous

Putting this out in the world, so I don't forget that not everything is bad and traumatic.

Tonight after rehearsal, my new Native friend and I got food and drinks, and then we drove around singing Whitney Houston (he's an opera singer - baritone, so I was mainly serenaded and loved it). He also was so impressed that I could sing her stuff in the original key. The highest of compliments, especially coming from him. Then we sang musical theater songs together, and it was so lovely. I forgot how I do miss performing in musicals (not that much).

But it was lovely and good and fun. Things can be lovely and good and fun with lovely, good, and fun people.

#He's also an Oklahoma NDN so extra good #Y'all he's so gay but with that voice I told him I'd marry him if he needed health insurance #healingjourney

As an indigenous radfem, what do you think of third genders, like two spirit? I notice many poc cultures have third genders. How are third genders different from trans ideology?

*disclaimer i'm just me and do not speak for any larger demographic*

anyway 2Spirit isnt anything. its not even a 3rd gender its a word invented 30 years ago during a gay& Lesbian international gathering

It was never meant to even describe a "third gender" it was more intended as like a uniforming word to distinguish NDN gays and lesbians and their unique experiences as its own community within the lgbt and give them a word that wasnt insulting or degrading. (this isnt even a secret this is all googlable and you can verify it like 9times over)

What do i think of third genders. I think for the most part they were a way for various societies to maintain their own status quo. the main purposes they fulfilled were

1. a lesser role to force upon gay men

2. a way to have working women without giving the majority of women this option

You can find a few historical stories where a woman may have pretended to be a man for various reasons usually escape male abuse or dream of something more so not at all different from figures like Margaret Ann Bulkey.

If you pick any 3rd gender ndn or otherwise ask yourself

any evidence the individual made this choice and their people just accepted this? or is it society driven

why?? is there a place or role that can only be handled by these people. is it a punishment or incentive to avoid something else.

do we have any info on how the people labeled with that gender felt about it.

are they all male and their role just seems to be "youthful pretty" ...

its not gonna take you very long to realize you just can not compare whats happening today to anything from the past.

And i am intentionally focusing on the past. because yes some of these roles still exist today but it is highly altered influenced by todays culture and world access ( and mostly still just men who feel feminine)

any 3rd gender today seems to just follow trans rules its a individual feelings thing that serves no purpose and greatly relys on gender roles to establish themselves.

#neither of this other gender forms should exist because its just evil bullshit either way isnt it #i apologize for my grasp of written english blame it on the menthol illnus #did i even answer the questions. i opened this at 5am #third gender #gender critical #terf safe #terf friendly

Now is a good reminder as to why we build community. Why we share solidarity. Why it's important to have peers and be comfortable in the physical presence of them.

Mobilizing online is not safe in a surveillance state. We need to physically be with each other. If you look at any old protest or civil rights movement they knew that. They had physical meetups where phones couldn't be tapped and listening ears couldn't eavesdrop.

With Roe v Wade overturned (and Justice Thomas saying that same sex relationship/marriage and access to contraception should also be "reconsidered") I feel like it's important to mention how critical mutual aid is. How crucial it is to have allies and people you can turn to. To know exactly where to go when you need to seek out safety.

Yes protest. Yes make your voice known. Learn how to help others.

But absolutely do not underestimate the power of going to a local meet up/protest and making friends. Not just with your group of feminists or LGBTs or anti-racist action leagues either. Go to each other's events. Build supportive relationships. Build solidarity. Expand your community.

Remember whether it's our uteri they're after, our land, our oil, our kids, our marriages, or our human rights... we have more reasons to fight together than we'll ever have to tear each other apart.

Don't let them do that to us. TERFs, racists, undercover cops, the CIA, the kkk, the FBI, etc. They've all spent decades trying to cut off our communities from one another. Spent decades trying to ruin our communities from the inside out and limit our strength. We can't allow that anymore.

They are coming for all of us.

And it is all of us that they will be up against, united

How can you help once you created a network/group of friends?

Protest. That's #1.

As an extension of bodily autonomy, allow folks to use their bodies and protest how they see fit. If someone is making you uncomfortable or doing something you disagree with, walk away.

Make sure you're prepared with the proper gear, escape route, etc. Know your rights.

There are tons of tips for this so I'll leave it at this so the post doesn't get too long.

For folks who can't protest but wanna do more than vote and don't know what to do then please check out these suggestions from another post

Tumblr let me blaze my solidarity post so now I'm updating it to include direct action tips.

ALSO

#2 Build Mutual Aid

As in, once the systems start being dismantled a lot of us marginalized folk will still need access to things food, water, medical, etc. A lot of us already need this tbh, federal and state aid isn't as effective as most people think it is.

Start community gardens, community fridges, pantries, etc. Work with local nurses and such to set up free clinics. The idea behind mutual aid is that everyone is helping. It is not simply charity. It a chance for communities to come together and give what they can so that Everyone can be safer, healthier, and happier.

Maybe you need a hair cut and maybe your hair stylist neighbor needs their house cleaned or someone to babysit. This exchange? Mutual Aid. The aid ... is mutual. Mutual Aid can be anything also. Maybe you can't cook or babysit but you tell good jokes. Maybe you can't tell jokes but you can reach the stuff on the top shelf. Maybe you're really good at breaking the ice or lightening the mood.

Everyone has a place in mutual aid, everyone is valuable, and everyone has something to offer.

🖤 Take care of each other 🖤

JKR has been racist (called out by asians and NDN) used werewolves as metaphor for HIV then only had 1! good werewolf "you're not like the other gays" antisemitic and transphobic that is not even rooted in actual science (scientists have refuted them a million times over) and has harmed ciswomen too (guess what transwomen and ciswomen can overlap quite a bit because there is no one way to be a woman) and people will still defend her and think she's feminist? shes white supremacy for ciswomen
