I suppose no one should be shocked but, there's been a racist robocall targetting Gillum in Florida, per CNN:

Experts believe that diplomats in Cuba (and possibly China) that suffered from brain damage were targeted by a microwave weapon. BTW, this article has some cool information on the Soviet and US microwave weapons programs.

Cloudy eyed fish is bad or about to become bad. The brown color is deoxygenated blood. If the fish smells like anything but iron it’s turning bad fast.

If I was really hungry I’d eat that fish in a fully cooked stew and that’s about it. Certainly not anything that could potentially undercooked.

Cuba is very tight with Russia. The article speculates that it might have been Cubans working with the Russians to sideline the reconciliation between the US and Cuba, as closer US/Cuba relations would cut off a major Russian ally in the west.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Relations between Cuba and USA aren't really friendly but were improving; undermining that makes sense from a destabilizing perspective.

I'm sure you've all seen this image in relation to "border doctrine" which is an assertion by the feds that the fourth amendment doesn't apply to border crossings so if you're within 100 miles of a border CBP can search your poo poo based on their own interpretation of "probable cause."



Looks like we got a case that is starting to move the needle back the right way.
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/09/judge-to-feds-no-you-cant-warrantlessly-put-a-gps-device-on-truck-entering-us/

quote:

Judge Bernal's ruling in United States v. Slavco Ignjatov et al. has echoes of a notable 2012 Supreme Court decision, United States v. Jones. In Jones, the court unanimously found that the government could not put a GPS tracking device on a car without a warrant.

The primary difference in United States v. Slavco Ignjatov et al. is that the tracker was installed at the border, where the "border doctrine" applies. Government lawyers claimed that because the truck search happened at the border, the border doctrine and its broader search parameters apply. But Judge Bernal didn't buy this line of reasoning.

"Permitting agents to apply GPS trackers to any vehicle at the border and subsequently monitor its location without first obtaining a warrant flies in the face of Jones, which holds that the installation of a GPS device constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment," he wrote, granting the defense's motion to suppress evidence obtained as a result of the tracking. "The government agents here did not seek legal advice on their decision to install the devices and chose instead to rely on two [Homeland Security Investigations] agents' understanding of the law."

It's kind of upsetting that CBP considered this to be totally okay before but hey, at least it isn't now and this might set some precedent?
