The Washington DC thugs violently attacked a protest, and threaten protesters and reporters with ten years' imprisonment.

The state is now collecting protesters' data from Apple and Facebook. (To cloud your mind, those companies like to say that your data is "in the cloud". In fact, it is in their servers.)

It seems that thugs have already looked through the accounts of some of the protesters, through their own phones.

In Russia, people who criticize the state are threatened with exile, seizure of all their property, as well as false charges.

The US isn't as bad as Russia yet, but it is heading in that direction.
