In March, President Trump issued an executive order aiming to eliminate the data silos that keep everything separate. Historically, much of the data collected by the government had been heavily compartmentalized and secured; even for those legally authorized to see sensitive data, requesting access for use by another government agency is typically a painful process that requires justifying what you need, why you need it, and proving that it is used for those purposes only. Not so under Trump.

I am horrified and also not surprised. Democracy is dead and we are all going to be on lists and databases soon.

Good. If evil people are making lists of enemies I'd be ashamed not to be on them. Fuck Trump and fuck all Republicans.
