The United States Court of Appeals for DC has cleared the way for #Trump to fire members of the National #Labor Relations Board #NLRB & the Merit Systems Protection Board #MSPB, essentially granting Trump authority over formerly "independent" parts of the executive branch.
Judge Millet dissented saying the decision overturned #SCOTUS precedent & disabled the boards from functioning while the case proceeds.

“I feel like in an ideal world, whistleblowers would not exist.” – Sophie Zhang

Since there are many #protests against #trump, #musk, #republicans, and ultimately #fascism, it’s important y’all know something about printers and photocopiers. Many add special watermarks to the paper that identifies the specific device that was used to print the document. Security experts and journalists are fairly certain these were used to identify #whistleblower Reality Winner and ultimately convict her.
Given many people print out pamphlets, posters, etc. it’s important to know that they may inadvertently be leaving a digital fingerprint.
While I’m not a fan of the #EFF as of late, they do maintain a handy list of printers that do not implement tracking dots here: https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots
There is also a GitHub project with code that obfuscates those dots, making them unreadable by authorities: https://github.com/dfd-tud/deda.
Right now the legality of protest is codified in the constitution. However, Trump has already flaunted numerous other laws to go after people he perceives as his enemy, so be safe out there. If you are printing protest literature, make certain it can’t be tracked back to you.
Electronic Frontier Foundation · List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking DotsWarning (Added 2015) Some of the documents that we previously received through FOIA suggested that all major manufacturers of color laser printers entered a secret agreement with governments to ensure that the output of those printers is forensically traceable. Although we still don't know if this...

Whistleblowers will remain essential in holding Big Tech and governments accountable and protecting them is more important than ever.
