But, don’t bring your cell phone with you …

… because big brother may ACTUALLY be tracking you now.

I’m a fan of facts, so it follows that I am NOT a fan of conspiracy theories.

Having said that, when I see a critical mass of facts accumulate about a certain thing, I pay attention.

Lately, there has been such critical mass accumulating— about the Trump regime installing surveillance apps on our phones to track us … without getting any warrants and without us having to click on anything.

I know. It’s really creepy. But, unfortunately, the facts are multiplying.

• It’s not just Rachel Maddow’s show on Monday (which, if you missed it, I strongly encourage you to watch/listen). She’s really concerned about this as well.

• It’s not just that ICE is acting more like a Gestapo everyday …

• It’s not just that Trump signed the “NSPM-7” a National Security Directive, which attempts to designate liberals as terrorists …

• It’s not just that OUR out-of-control Border Patrol (who WE pay for with OUR tax dollars) is inflicting tear-gas terrorism in Chicago and other cities …

• It’s not just Bishop Barber’s liberty van footage …

It’s all of these facts put together with many, many others.

So, please. We ALL need to educate ourselves about how our phones may make us vulnerable to Trump’s data grabs. Remember how DOGE stole all that data back in February?

Please: Do not bring your phone with you when you speak out / vote / or protest.

… which brings us to our dilemma here at the Freedom Writers:

We ALWAYS give a lot of thought to which actions we recommend, and we’re really struggling with asking people to use their phones to call their Congress people now.

NOTE: We have no facts at this point in time that the Trump administration is doing anything beyond tracking our locations through our phones, but I’m sure you can see why we might be concerned about that.

We can always write letters and postcards to our legislators instead of calling them.

This is a question we’d really like your - the Freedom Writer Community’s — input on.

Please let us know what you think about continuing to recommend we call our Congress People vs writing them letters and postcards.

Thank you for helping us save our democracy.
