Airlines sell passenger data to the feds through a separate data broker they spun up and put in the contract that DHS is not allowed to tell anyone that it comes from the airlines:

The symbolic aid the Madleen was carrying will be passed along to Palestinians. But it’ll do basically nothing to help, especially not compared to the 1,200 aid trucks that have entered Gaza from Israel in the past fortnight alone. This was nothing more than “irresponsible grandstanding”. As the Israeli Foreign Ministry put it: “There are ways to provide aid to the Gaza Strip – they don’t involve Instagram selfies.”
Ibraheem from Gaza wrote on FB, "One day before Eid, Hamas members were handing out green papers—US dollars—to their loyalists. Before that, it was flour, back when people couldn't find a single bite to eat. Since they took over Gaza, we haven’t seen a single good day. All our days under their rule have been dark: repression, theft of property, arrests for speaking out. I’m certain they were the ones hijacking the flour trucks—just to pay salaries to their men. For me, getting rid of Hamas is more urgent than ending the occupation. Because Hamas has never thought about the people. They never cared if we starved or died. All they cared about was staying in power."

#NationalGuard troops seen sleeping on floors in exclusive photos
“This is what happens when the president and (Secretary of Defense) #PeteHegseth demand the National Guard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place (and) no federal funding available for food, water, fuel and lodging,” the source said. “This is really the failure of the federal government. If you’re going to federalize these troops, then take care of them.”

An American friend posted this and I wanted to pass it along - I don't know anyone in the US military, but maybe you have friends or family who are, and they might benefit from seeing this.

I really cannot stress this enough. When I visited France, I visited a building where I read an entry in a log book where a Nazi recorded my great-grandmother's death in the camps. The name of this building was the "Musée de la Résistance et de la *Déportation*". It was not the "museum of the death camps" because they don't _call_ them death camps. While it's happening, they call it "deportations". The name "death camps" shows up once the occupying army is rolling their tanks into your capital.
