FISA Section 702 Reauthorization: House GOP leadership pulls dueling FISA bills amid backlash!

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/11/politics/house-gop-leadership-pulls-dueling-fisa-bills/index.html

Instead, a four-month extension is attached to the NDAA -- unless it gets removed. Dozens of civil rights and racial justice groups oppose extending FISA in the NDAA.

If you agree, call your Senators TODAY and with a simple ask: "DO NOT put 702 in the NDAA."

Empathy, as always, is the real problem with the GOP. They are perfectly fine when it's immigrants, liberals, gays, brown people, etc that suffer these laws. When angry white people get affected, then they are suddenly sad about it and suddenly were the whole time.

Not even then. Usually has to be their family and, more granularly, it almost always has to directly inconvenience them or interfere with their goals.

They really are that fucking selfish and insulated/oblivious to the suffering and pain of others
