“People were plucked out of line. They didn’t cancel the whole ceremony.”

Bandcamp I love you but damn you make it difficult. I added stuff to my cart, but went to another device to check out and... I can't find the cart on the mobile app. Where is it!?
Went to a computer and got to the cart and... it's empty. None of the stuff I added is there. Re-add it all and check out.
I've tried multiple times to check out, the all fail. I mean, maybe so many of you are making purchases the system is overloaded? Argh.

EFF is proud to support the
“ICE Out of Our Faces Act.”
This new federal bill would ban ICE and CBP agents, and some local police working with them,
from acquiring or using biometric surveillance systems,
including face recognition technology, or information derived from such systems by another entity.
This bill would be enforceable, among other ways, by a strong private right of action.
The bill’s lead author is Senator Ed Markey.
We thank him for…
