@huntingdon @GottaLaff yes, it is.
#Project2025 does explicitly call for that in order to destroy #accountability & #transparency as unlike with any #SCIF-certified and #NSA-approved #communications, they get #logged and can be requested via #FIOA.
Pretty shure @signalapp silently ignoring this happening with their tech was the deal for not getting their doors kicked in and their business shutdown as per #CloudAct.
Or @Mer__edith et. al. really think the #Trump-Regime won't come after them once they outlived their usefulness...

The debate over #Religious #freedom & #ParentalRights is back at the #SupremeCourt.
Justices will consider whether #PublicSchools can stop parents removing students from lessons using #LGBTQ+ themed #books. The issue has divided a #Maryland community.
Justices will weigh the future of #free #PreventiveCare today.
And #police officers who joined the rally before the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection asked justices for anonymity.

"Attorneys suing the United States government over its use of vanishing Signal messages to coordinate military strikes last month in Yemen allege that new court filings by the government reveal a “calculated strategy” by Trump administration officials to evade transparency laws through the illegal destruction of government records.
US defense and intelligence agencies on Monday submitted supplemental declarations in court outlining their individual efforts to preserve the messages at the center of the “SignalGate” scandal. American Oversight, a watchdog organization whose attorneys are suing the government, claim the declarations reveal “troubling inconsistencies” in efforts by US officials to archive the material, with the Central Intelligence Agency in particular alleging that it had archived no messages of any substance.
“Using encrypted, disappearing messages on Signal for official government business violates the Federal Records Act and represents a calculated strategy to undermine transparency and accountability,” claims the group’s interim executive director, Chioma Chukwu."

Ahh, so that will be lying, banning some of the media from press conferences and blackmailing others. Great strategy, but I am sure Morgan McSweeney is already on to it.

"Approximately 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy were released Friday... The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration posted roughly 229 files containing the pages to its public website. Many files related to the senator’s assassination had been previously released, but others had not been digitized and sat for decades in storage facilities maintained by the federal government."

#RepublicOfGeorgia: First year of #Georgia’s ‘foreign agent’ law shows how #autocracies are replicating #Russian model − and speeding up the time frame
Published: March 28, 2025 6:25am EDT
"#Autocracy is on the move worldwide and becoming more resilient.
"One of the driving forces behind this phenomenon is something scholars call '#AuthoritarianLearning,' a process by which autocratic leaders study each other and adapt tactics based on what appears to work, and how to proceed when they encounter #resistance.
"Take Georgia. The ruling Georgian Dream party has steered the Caucasus nation from a path toward democracy back to autocracy – and it has done so by learning from Russia. In particular, it adopted a '#ForeignAgent' law in May 2024 – legislation that came straight from #VladimirPutin’s playbook.
"Sold to the public as increasing #transparency, the legislation has been utilized to persecute Georgia’s #opposition and arrest #dissidents with impunity.
"As researchers examining the structure and effects of autocratic regimes, we view Georgia’s first year of its foreign agent law as an example of how politicians are not only learning the tactics of Russian authoritarianism but improving on them in a shorter time frame."
