WATCH: Hackers At Defcon Prove Our Voting Machines Are Pieces Of Trash – Redacted Tonight

Lee Camp reveals how a bunch of hackers were told to have at it in a room of voting machines in which they cracked the code on all of them. How easy was it to get into some of these machines? The encryption key for a machine used for over a decade in one state was the the first five letters of the alphabet. How utterly screwed is our voting system in this country when a first-grader could guess the code that could manipulate machines we use to exercise our democracy? This news also makes the likelihood of Russian...

Washington Post Instructs Reporters Not To Say Anything That Could Harm Advertisers – Redacted Tonight

At the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post, all journalists have freedom to report on whatever they want–as long as that reporting never speaks ill of Big Pharma companies, Big Banks, and whatever “Big” thing doling them money for advertising. Yup that’s right: Under Bezos, a new rule says the paper’s advertisers are off limits to reporters for any kind of social media criticism. This is problematic for a number of reasons–a huge one being that Amazon has a $600 million contract with the CIA to provide them cloud encryption services.

Rikers Island, New York City’s main holding center for its most violent and most innocent inmates, is synonymous with corruption and brutality. After decades of failed reform of the ten prison complex island, Mayor de Blasio gives a flimsy and disappointing plan for closure which will take another decade. When countless families and individuals, notably Kalief Browder, are broken by “torture island” what will it take to convince this administration that this is an outdated shithole? A third of our nation’s 2.7 million prison population is in local jails, which get less press than the federal prisons but have...

Bill To Make Political Activism Illegal Halted FOR NOW – Redacted Tonight

Congress could be dangerously close to putting free speech—particularly political activist speech—on the chopping block. A bill—designed by AIPAC—would levy anywhere up to $1 million in fines and prison time for Americans who boycott Israel. While Congress has decided to temper its enthusiasm and carefully consider the implications of this bill, there’s no denying that this is a piece of legislation that could be a slippery slope to denying first amendment rights to political activists of any...
