It looks like some Democrats are preparing to help the GOP reauthorize a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. Zero Democrats should vote to allow the regime to gobble up mass surveillance data to punish Trump’s enemies and round up immigrants.

Indivisible get a grip. The Congressional Black Caucus will support the clean reauthorization of FISA Section 702. Full Stop. THE PROBLEM is Trump's FBI "frequently violated the three-part legal standard", i.e. and continues to break the law. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/fisa...

A vote is expected as soon as tomorrow, so make sure your Members of Congress hear from you — demand that they vote NO on any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702 without significant reforms to protect us from the authoritarian Trump regime.

Wrong. If you vote for a republican or third party candidate this year you are giving Trump permission to do more harm than he already has. This is a critical time and we need to stop Trump-loving republicans. Every one of them.

Enough of this neoliberal nonsense. We will NOT merely vote for lesser of two evils. If that means repugnicans continue winning until you get that through your head then so be it.

Tell Jim Himes and your Congress reps to vote no on FISA authorization which would enable warrantless, AI-powered mass surveillance of Americans' emails, phone calls + text messages unless Congress closes a crucial loophole.

As predicted, Democrats will do ANYTHING, no matter how heinous, to ensure that the changes undertaken by the Trump administration (legal or not) will continue until they (Dems) regain power. They absolutely love the things Trump has done and can't wait to benefit from them, and you'll vote them in.

I think we should call members of the CBC either asking to vote no or offer amendments that would make the law better by not targeting BLM protests, or reforming Section 702 altogether.
