Our friend Aaron Day is running for U.S Senate - not to legislate for change, but to make a point about the digital surveillance grid approaching us. He's also rallying to free privacy warriors like the Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash developers.

First interview just posted: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/congressional/4413383/aaron-day-spoiler-could-sink-senate-gop-new-hampshire/

His mission, should he choose to run, remains the same from his Senate campaign a decade ago: undermine the GOP nominee to get his point across. But his purpose for doing so has changed drastically from his past desire to reshape the state’s Republican Party.

“I still naively thought in 2016 that I could affect things politically, and I actually thought that there was a fundamental difference between the two parties and that there was the potential to influence the Republican Party from a liberty perspective,” Day said. “I don’t believe that at all anymore.”

“He made the point that you can’t improve unless you understand and accept the reality of the current situation. We are living in a massive state of denial,” Day said. “And the massive state of denial that we’re in is… this technocratic surveillance state, which is growing unchecked under Trump.”

Politics won't accomplish any real change, but using politics as a platform to share the truth is a worthy stategy.

This is exactly what our good friend Derrick Broze did back in 2023 for his hometown of Houston, successfully cementing the idea to open up City Council to discuss issues raised by citizens. This idea was copied by candidates and generally accepted, however the next mayor of Houston neutered the idea by putting discussion behind a private committee.

What do you think? Can anything good come from political campaigns — is it a way to reach people? Or is it a waste of the freedom movement's precious energy?

Tonight's episode on ukcolumn.org is about solutions.

As is always the case, people prefer doom-scrolling and whining, so I predict poor traction for this one with Hakeem Anwar.

We chatted about privacy, digital ID, surveillance, and how to resist using Linux devices.

I can now tell you with 100% certainty that the problem has nothing to do with RZ.

The first and second images show an LKM-based stock kernel with RZ 440 (works).
The third and fourth images show an LKM-based stock kernel with RZ 443 (works).
The fifth and sixth images show a SukiSu SuSFS GKI kernel from zzh20188 (works).

This problem therefore only occurs on KSUN and WildKernels.
