Tenderloin, of course! I already miss this neighborhood - not to mention SF... One can always dream of returning there after Republicans left the White House... :)
"Cindy Cohn, an attorney who is the executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation — a digital-rights nonprofit based in San Francisco — said she sees her work fighting heavy-handed and intrusive government surveillance and defending technology users’ privacy, free speech and ability to innovate as fundamentally intertwined with principles that are at the core of U.S. democracy.
“Free speech is a cornerstone,” Cohn said, citing the practice of casting anonymous election ballots as an example. “Privacy is a cornerstone right. Privacy goes hand-in-hand with a democratic, self-governing system.”
Whether challenging restrictive federal rules equating cryptography with munitions, mass telecommunications spying by the National Security Agency, search-and-seizures of electronic materials or the use of surveillance technologies by the San Francisco Police Department, Cohn’s organization has long been at the center of civil-liberties controversies involving technology.
“Almost all the fights about rights and freedoms and democracy have a technical, have a digital element right now,” Cohn said.
Currently based in the Tenderloin, EFF was founded in 1990 before the mass adoption of web-browsing technology and the spectacular growth of the internet later in the decade.
The nonprofit today has about 125 employees, with the largest chunk being lawyers who engage in litigation and advocacy, Cohn said."

There was a powerful post on X today tackling the issue of reclaiming patriotism. "Refusing to speak the truth doesn’t preserve unity — it protects power. It's not treason to question the myth. It's [a] betrayal to stay quiet.”
There are many things we must do if we are to preserve our republic, based on the principles of freedom and democracy.
But speaking up and speaking out — and defending others who do — will help. It's the least we can do to preserve any semblance of truth, justice, and the American way.](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/797/219/281/597/633/original/4379f58b82477055.jpeg "Dan Rather 7/4/25
