  • A friend of mine was recently questioned by the FBI in regards to a potential crime that his employer allegedly committed (I can’t go into the details). They asked him to give them his phone and unlock it. He asked them what if he didn’t want to unlock it. They told him they would hold him down and use his biometrics to open it. As soon as he told me this story I disabled biometric unlock on my phone. It’s really not that much of an inconvenience. I can still use my fingerprint to login to banking apps and stuff, it’s not that big of an adjustment to put in my code every time I have to unlock my phone.




  • There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.

    Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

    And then remember this: The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

    And know this: the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

    Remember this. Try.
