my first story on mass surveillance is out: inadvertent.substack.com/p/birds-of-a... co-publishing with @calonews.bsky.social

I'm running for Senate. Fuck it

Rather than correcting the behavior of non-discriminant shooting by cops at protests, this shifts the blame towards press not having proper credentials. I doubt a mutual agreement will be honored by LAPD. It's not like there is a long history of them breaking laws and "agreements".

This man squeezed his ass cheek.

Trans people in Georgia, particularly around Atlanta -- Have you experienced discrimination from police when trying to enter a public restroom? If so, I want to chat with you and hear about your side of what happened. Reach out to me - [email protected], or DM for my Signal!

Since LAPD won't pickup after themselves, I guess I will. See what I was able to find on my walk in Echo Park. www.tiktok.com/@joeyneverjo...

Remember, the battle continues. We take our wins and push forward for more.

ICE is planning to offer private sector bounty hunters cash bonuses for quickly tracking down the home addresses of immigrants across the US, according to a DHS document I reviewed. ICE encourages potential contractors to use "all technology systems available.” theintercept.com/2025/10/31/i...

Watch our mini documentary about the terror and trauma inflicted by the ICE deportation machine through the eyes of Barranco and his wife Martha.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Check out our latest newsletter. Our reporters @bencamach0.bsky.social and @kevin-flores.bsky.social sat down with Narciso Barranco, who ICE targeted. thesouthlander.com/documentary-...

I wrote about LAPD has been using the same technology since 2022 in 2023. I updated it to include their most recent “audit” of it which found there’s been no impact on the public’s privacy. Other California depts use Penlink, too: www.joeyscott.xyz/the-lapd-is-...

Griffith was found guilty of failure to disperse and fined $50. That's unconstitutional -- even the DOJ recognizes journalists' right to cover how law enforcement disperses protesters. But it also shows what a giant waste of taxpayer funds it is to prosecute journalists for doing their jobs.

This appears to be the full video of the Chicago delivery worker. It actually appears that an agent tries to assault him after he curses the Dear Leader Kim il Trump to their faces.

To all you computer nerds, stop disclosing vulnerabilities to surveillance companies helping the fascist state.

Breaking news from Des Moines: ICE has detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Iowa's largest school district. The Des Moines Public Schools said "We have no confirmed information as to why Dr. Roberts is being detained or the next potential steps." www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/09/26/i...

Update on this: The City of Evanston isn't waiting for Flock to take the cams down, and staff have covered them up with bags and tape. Writing up a quick story to post before I go do (another!) citywide site visit to confirm all are covered (Picture taken yesterday by @joergmetzner.bsky.social)

“Our community is less informed with my father not able to report,” Mario Guevera’s son, Oscar, said. Journalist Mario Guevara, who has been in detention over 100 days, faces an ICE deportation order. #FREEMARIO NOW!

I just canceled my Disney+ and Hulu subscription, and cited ABC's decision to censor @jimmykimmel.com as the reason. Will resubscribe when ABC's parent company shows that they are willing to resist Trump's fascist regime #CancelDisney #CancelHulu

A new piece is up that adds more detail to LAPD's numbers. I also touch on LAPD's loss in court against journalists and share @unraveledpress.com piece about the shooting of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez by ICE. www.joeyscott.xyz/lapd-less-le...

In Columbia Heights D.C., memorial signs are going up for residents abducted by the state. (📸 Igor Bobic)

“The illegal alien was pronounced dead,” is just a fucking monstrous thing to write. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez.

Cynthia Mendoza was left in solitary confinement during her pregnancy: “It was the most degrading, inhumane thing that I've ever gone through.”

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

So is Trump gonna declare war on groypers or what

Yesterday: No suspect in custody. "We will jump to the conclusion it was a radical trans leftist, we should persecute all people like this person" Today: Suspect in custody is from Utah, his dad is a Christian pastor. "We can't jump to any conclusions about this person's background or ideology".

Kash rules everything around me, K.R.E.A.M, get the money. This dude got extreme drip

oh my god someone slashed our tire

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Update: 1,040 rounds of nonlethal ammunition were fired by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) at anti-ICE protesters in DTLA on June 8th. 669 were 40 mm rubber bullets. They were pulling rounds from boxes as shown below. The dept documented causing only six injuries from the muntions.

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

Just this year alone: 14 migrants have died in ICE custody. 37 people have died in LA jails. 893 people have been killed by cops nationwide. 19 trans folk have died due to violence. Political violence is happening. All while an active fascist military takeover occurs in our cities.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose life’s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking that’s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, I’d probably go insane

gonna put some feelers out there and say that i am Looking For New Work! i have a little over 2 years of experience in application security and the LLM-y side of AI security, but would be excited to transition into some kind of data-oriented role like threat hunting, model building, or data analysis
