How long will the US Troops be there? A month, a year, a decade?

The multiple goals are degrading Iran’s military capabilities, halting nuclear ambitions, disrupting proxy support, and potentially fostering conditions for regime change.
Kuwait was liberated by late February 1991. The last U.S. military convoy left Iraq on December 18, 2011. Twenty years later. The US President has just started another war in the Middle
East without international support and no clearly defined goal.
The hostages were held for 444 days. They were released on January 20, 1981 during Reagan’s first inauguration.
The US tried to foster an uprising in Iraq after the Kuwaiti invasion on August 2, 1990. Gulf War, a U.S.-led coalition launched military operations beginning in January 1991.
History tells us that Iranian people have expressed their dissatisfaction with the United States. The CIA in 1953 put the Shah of Iran in power as a monarch that was deposed and exiled January 16, 1979.
The U.S. embassy hostage-taking in Tehran began on November 4, 1979, 16,921 days ago.
Should we tell them they were drinking Mexican beer owned by a Belgian brewery the brewery also owns Anheuser Bush, but it still is a Belgian company
Male and female gender symbols. Used just these two as Olympic only has two
Watching Women’s Olympic hockey and Kenny Albert just announced a two minute penalty for “too many men on the ice.” Does anyone see a problem with that?
The terms: players, skaters, people, human, Olympians, competitors … would be more appropriate and applicable to all situations.
Just when I thought Floriduh has reached a new level of stupidity
A US Representative for Florida wants to end daylight saving by compromising on 30 minutes in the middle.
Fractional time zones are difficult, see Newfoundland, Canada and India.

Kids running from their government.
Kids fucking run from our government.
Once again this must not be normalized.
When these children need help or are lost, do you think that would ask police for help?
Meta adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses would violate the privacy rights of millions of people and cost the company billions of dollars in legal battles. It should abandon its plans. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Even giant tech companies are made up of individual employees who mostly want to do the right thing. Resisting lawless ICE subpoenas is an easy place to start. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Slight clarification, please:
We need assurance’s that the department of justice is not spying on US citizens
Who watches the watchers?
California must revoke permits allowing federal agencies such as CBP and the DEA to put automated license plate readers along border highways, a coalition of 38 groups led by EFF and the Imperial Valley Equity & Justice Coalition demanded today of @governor.ca.gov and the CA Dept of Transportation.
Police often won’t question other agencies’ access to their automated license plate readers, EFF’s @maassive.bsky.social told @the74.bsky.social. “You know how maybe your grandparents approve every friend request they get on Facebook? It’s like that. It’s always been like that.”

The FBI was ready to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Renee Good’s car.
That’s the type of forensic investigation that could confirm murder.
They were ordered to stop. Kash Patel was one of the people who gave the order.
It was always a lie and a cover up:
Today, construction on the nation’s largest infrastructure project came to a halt - with hundreds laid off - because Donald Trump is out of control.
The good news: political pressure still works, and we can use our voices to make sure he doesn’t have the last word.
If you're planning on recording federal agents, turn biometrics off on your phone and opt for long passwords instead, EFF’s @legind.bsky.social told @thefulcrum-us.bsky.social. thefulcrum.us/civic-engag...
Has anyone told the conservatives having Kid Rock perform for them is causing me to have cognitive dissonance.
In 2004, he played the Super Bowl but received criticism from the Veterans of Foreign Wars for wearing an American flag as a poncho.
To protect our digital rights, we need the rule of law. When an armed agent of the government breaks the law, the civilian they injure must be made whole. This includes money damages to compensate them for their injury. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
I always find Amy’s content interesting. She and I have been discussing how Artemis, the Springfield Escalator of NASA, and how much is political versus science. Definitely recommend.
Today, we’re launching Encrypt It Already, a new website pushing tech companies to deliver stronger privacy protections to their users by enabling and expanding the use of end-to-end encryption across their products or services. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
“You can’t have data extracted from a phone that you don’t have on you,” EFF’s Bill Budington told Fast Company. “Bringing a secondary device, one that can capture footage in high quality, for instance, is a good suggestion.” www.fastcompany.com/91481220/yo...
