Friendly reminder; anyone not treating climate collapse as an immediate threat of unimaginable scale and violence should be ignored, fired and/or voted out. The creeps and duds who occupy our government, corp news media and boardrooms need to go FAST.

New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE. "Should serve as a warning of how it may be used in the future to suppress dissent."

Cops Used Flock to Monitor No Kings Protests Around the Country
A massive cache of Flock lookups collated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) shows as many as 50 federal, state, and local agencies used Flock during protests over the last year.

If you don’t know, immigration attorneys have been sounding alarms that ICE appears to be using frequent shuffles between detention centers to exhaust migrant detainees, separate them family and their attorneys, wear them down and get them to sign “voluntary” deport papers. It’s a torture tactic.
