"Geofence warrants are also known as β€œreverse-location” warrants, since they seek to identify people of interest who were in the near vicinity at the time a crime was committed. [...] According to the data, Google received 982 geofence warrants in 2018, 8,396 in 2019 and 11,554 in 2020. [...] The data shows that the vast majority of geofence warrants are obtained by local and state authorities, with federal law enforcement accounting for just 4% of all geofence warrants"

πŸ’¦Drink water from the spring where the horse drinks. A horse will never drink bad water.

😸Make your bed where the cat sleeps.

🍎Eat the fruit that was touched by the worm.

πŸ„Freely pick the mushrooms on which the insects sit.

🌳Plant your tree where the mole digs.

🏑Build your house where the snake suns itself.

🐣Dig your well where the birds build their nests in hot weather.

😴Go to sleep and wake up with the chickens and you will reap the golden grain of the day.

πŸ₯—Eat more green vegetables, and you will have strong legs and an enduring heart.

🌊Swim more often and you will feel on land like a fish in the water.

🌀Look at the skies more often and not at your feet, and your thoughts will be clear and light.

🀫Keep silent more often, speak less, and silence will reign in your soul, and your spirit will be calm and peaceful.

Firearms are tricky in most contexts and can lead to tit for tat escalations or dramatically increased repression, but as far as self defense goes, β€œand with a gat, it don't matter if he's smaller or bigger.”
Space Force is largely logistical and PR oriented. They are mostly responsible for comms and surveillance and do what the US Air Force has already been doing, but they have a sci-fi coating for effect.
Which one is real? lol
Fun fact: the FBI hates losing cases, so much so they mainly stage big cases via entrapment and only prosecute when it seems certain they can win. This also encourages framings. Though they value getting factual information out of informants etc (unlike the CIA who will take any actionable information hence the torture confessions etc) the FBI does value winning more than the truth.
Though we think the bit about trust circles no larger than five seems arbitrary even if around there is the tested squad size and that you can operate with scaling levels of opsec in large chats like keeping engagement above the board, your social media and chat activity can bring you down if you’re not careful. No bragging, no unfounded rumors. The point of opsec and security culture is to help you do what you want to do safer, we can’t let it paralyze us, but we can be as careful as the consequences entail.
