DOGE Privacy Act Requests, per Rep. Jamie Raskin: "U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has issued an injunction commanding DOGE to comply with citizen requests under the Freedom of Information Act. This law encompasses the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, which entitles any citizen to access personal information held in any U.S. government records system. Please find a fillable Privacy Act request form HERE.
"Citizens need only fill out the form and mail it in to DOGE. This newly recognized federal agency, which has been systematically accessing government computer data systems, now has an obligation to respond to specific information demands from any of the 340 million U.S. citizens who exercise their legal right to defend their privacy and establish the security of their private information.
"Once you have mailed a Privacy Act Request to DOGE, please fill out the form HERE and Rep. Raskin's office will stay in touch with additional details and updates as they become available."

SAVE THE DATE for the Haymaker Film Festival at The Beehive, 666 S. State St., SLC. Event by Salt Lake Action Cinema Society: "Haymaker Film Festival is a two-day celebration of contemporary action cinema, filmmakers, and stunt performers. Our mission is to spotlight the art of action and evangelize its value as both art and entertainment. We believe action cinema is another avenue for creative and cultural expression. Well-established tropes are regularly subverted and reimagined by unique voices and their personal journeys and heritage. From kimchi Westerns to the DIY Ugandan films found in Wakaliwood, it is clear that action cinema transcends both language and borders. Reduced to its most basic form, action is conflict in motion -- and there is no story without conflict." Deadline is June 1. For details, click here.
