Cybersecurity for the People: 
   How to Protect Your Privacy at a Protest

Cybersecurity for the People: 
   How to Protect Your Privacy at a Protest https://youtube.com/watch?v=6FS0Y7TwArE
Planning on going to a protest? You might not be aware that just by showing up, you can open yourself up to certain privacy risks — police often spy on protesters, and the smartphones they carry, and no matter how peaceful the demonstration, there’s always a chance that you could get detained or arrested, and your devices could get searched.

Prepare your phone before you go to a protest to safely communicate with your friends and document the event, and know what to do if you get detained or arrested.

Whether your private conversations are personal, professional, or political, what you say or type into your phone may be of interest to snooping governments, both foreign and domestic.

Fortunately, privacy is a fundamental human right. Unfortunately, most ways that people communicate with their phones — voice calls, SMS messages, email, Facebook, Skype, Hangouts, etc. — are not as private as you might think.

But it’s possible to make sure that your private conversations are actually private. It starts with installing an app known as Signal, and getting your friends to install it too.

More detailed instructions for using Signal can be found on our website at: https://theintercept.com/2017/05/01/cyber...

Howard Zinn: The Prominent Influential Historian
Will Be Missed By Many

Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010) American historian and professor emeritus at Boston University's Political Science Department . The author of many books, including A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn was a civil libertarian, political activist, and an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam. He was a powerful voice for the people and spoke out against corporate dominance, and urged the public within the US to resist corporate tyranny. He was also active in the civil rights movement and the anti-war movements in the United States. Howard Zinn died on January 27, 2010, of a heart attack at the age of 87 while traveling in Santa Monica, California. He is survived by his daughter Myla Kabat-Zinn.

"He's made an amazing contribution to American intellectual and moral culture. He's changed the conscience of America in a highly constructive way." -Noam Chomsky

Not only did he give us a better understanding of how history is written, disseminated, and recorded (and for whom), he gave us an otherwise lost history, that we so greatly needed to hear. He will not be forgotten. Arguably, the most important historian of American history, he has inspired many to seek the truth at all costs. Because, not knowing the truth, is ultimately, the greatest cost to society.

"He was a person of real courage and integrity, warmth and humor. He was just a remarkable person." -Noam Chomsky

He will be greatly missed.

The Inauguration of Barack Obama,
the 44th President of the United States

Democracy Now's Special Inauguration Coverage
http://democracynow.org/pages/inauguration

View the extended (3-hour) broadcast by Democracy Now! of the inauguration of Barack Obama. It is wonderful to experience this historic event with real interesting and informative commentary (in direct contrast to the corporate media) by the talented hosts', Alice Walker and Amy Goodman. If you didn't see this event hosted by Democracy Now!, you missed out. If you don't believe me, watch it and tell me I'm wrong. If you were actually there in person, even better, but don't let that stop you from missing out on this amazing coverage of this historic event. See it again (for the 1st time, as they say), it's worth it.
