The Trump administration aims to deploy counterterrorism tools against far-left groups, even as it has offered little evidence they present a dire threat.

I note that the US has completely suppressed the pipeline for recruiting left-wing vandals, let alone terrorists.

And by "far left" they mean you, if you're not a committed fascist. And they may mean you even if you are, because that's how fascism goes.

    Been thinking about long range drones a lot lately. Great for surveiling surrounding areas, and many other use cases

    The "ghost gun" 3D printing laws going around had me thinking about "ghost drones". I think a lot of the NDAA and FAA noise around drones is an attempt to gain control over domestic drone use. They're criminalizing flying a drone within 1km of ICE activities - which is impossible to know or avoid.

    But you don't need an expensive flight controller, fancy ESC, or even brushless motors to get your basic drone in the air. An esp32, some mosfets, servos (for a wing), and brushed motors will get the job done. Will it compete in multiGP? Hell no. But it'll fly and it'll cost like $15.

    Western governments must combat “antifa and far-left terrorism,” Ms. Jacobsen’s prepared remarks asserted, casting the effort as an evolution in counterterrorism following the “global war on terror.” Her prepared speech defined far-left terrorism to include threats from communists, Marxists, anarchists, anticapitalists and those with “eco-extremist” and “other self-identified antifascist ideologies.”

    Lol, welcome to Lemmy.

    Seriously though, they would totally come for Lemmy.

    Tr*mp is consolidating his power, and no one will be more surprised than Republicans in DC are, when they're being marched to the noose.
