I could run cameras for a long ass time on a solar recharging 205Wh. That’s basically two max travel capacity V mounts strapped together 🤔

Five year anniversary of this amazing clip: “Stop listening to Vishal and @chadloder.bsky.social…” Lmfao I’m still waiting for the supposed millions of dollars we “made” off of exposing dirtbag loser fascists.

Sniffing the bushes and fire hydrants *is* their social media 🐕 It's why I always try to be patient with my chihuahua on walks. She's scrolling.

If my math maths, you'd need to wire up about 300 Flock camera batteries to provide 60kwh, that's basically a Tesla 3 battery pack 😅

hypothetically, I bet repurposed flock camera battery rigs with solar capabilities would be excellent for powering decentralized LoRa (e.g. meshtastic etc) repeater modules

A Flock camera can run for several days without any solar input. That rechargeable battery is WAY overbuilt for what it powers. I would imagine the biggest power drain isn't the camera but the Nimbelink LTE modem that sends your license plate data to the cloud.

A helpfull teardown of Flock camera internals and parts by The Center for Human Rights and Privacy. There's some good stuff in here!

Anyone know what internal Battery System Management parameters these Flock lipo batteries use? That's a pretty chunky 205.2 Wh S3 battery with an external solar charger.

Flock cameras have useful, modular electronic components in them, including: - Rechargeable lithium iion battery with solar panel - 5G LTE modem - 5MP 16mm camera with IR filter Plus various other components with precious metals that can be harvested for scrap.

“People were tortured inside the Adelanto ICE prison. GEO Group is fighting to keep the records secret so the public is kept in the dark about what’s really going on there,” said [me w/ @thesouthlander.com] “The taxpayers who fund that facility deserve transparency.”

The point of warning the Left against the antisemitic current within America First anti-Zionism (for me anyway) isn’t to appeal to Jewish sensitivities. In our current climate, unfortunately, those appeals are hyper-politicized, almost always to benefit Zionism. The point is

"not wittingly" became the most consequential two words in surveillance history. Snowden dropped three months later. Clapper faced zero consequences. And Wyden knew the whole time he was being lied to, on camera, in public. Whatever's in that letter is bad.

🚨The last time Senator Wyden raised the alarm this urgently, it was in March 2013 when Wyden asked DNI Clapper in a public hearing about the NSA surveilling the phone records and emails of every American. Three months after that hearing, the first Edward Snowden mass surveillance story dropped.🚨

Earlier this evening: dozens of people gathered in Chicago's far north side Rogers (Phillip) Park in support of an 18-year-old Mather High School student and his mother, who, according to the student's older brother, were abducted from the Chicago immigration court at Ida B. Wells Drive in March.

RESULT: Analilia Mejia is heading to Congress. The AP has promptly called the NJ11 election for Mejia, the left-wing advocate who won a tight primary earlier this year and just easily won the general election. Mejia will replace Mikie Sherrill, who of course is now governor.

does anybody have an idea what <dem:> before the two parents' names in this Latin record could mean here? i'm seeing it in many (but not all) bride/groom entries from this period, always right before their parents' names. Marianna Chlebek filia dem: Michaelis Chlebek et Hedvigis Rybka agr[icolae]

As head of CBP, this is especially problematic given he could be blackmailed for his behavior. Often I think we overthink the issues with being blackmailed, but being the head of an agency that often has first contact with people crossing the border, this is a serious security issue.

Rotating villain theory undefeated

Come on. This ain't it. Nobody is talking about prosecuting sex work customers. I'm saying that this guy should not be the head of the largest federal law enforcement agency in the US.

Police responded to a bomb threat at the home of Pope Leo's brother in New Lenox, a suburb of Chicago, last night.

Wow

The US Border Patrol chief being a god damn monger seems like a thing that congressional Democrats should be absolutely hammering the Trump administration for in public. It's righteous AND politically savvy to make a stink about this.

Michael John Hogan (D.O.B. 1980-03-20) of Laredo, TX is Number 84 on our list of ICE / CBP sexual predators, arrested last week on charges of indecent assault.

Howard Lutnick said he cut off Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. But Justice Department records show that years later—after Epstein’s sex crime conviction—Lutnick entered a business deal with him and maintained contact into the 2010s. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/records-sh...

American conservative politician Clare Boothe Luce converted to Catholicism in 1946. In a 1953 meeting with Pope Pius XII, she was fiercely lecturing the pontiff on the Church's moral duty to fight communism when the Pope finally interrupted her. "You know, Mrs. Ambassador, I am a Catholic too."

3/4 The promoters say it's a "NON-POLITICAL private event." But just one example of many: one band scheduled has an album cover with a destroyed synagogue with song titles like "Flames Around the Synagogue!" and another release called 'Kristalna noć' — 'Kristallnacht'... aroundus.com/p/6647721-sy...

1/4 There is a neo-Nazi concert — NSBM, i.e., National Socialist Black Metal — planned to take place in Romania🇷🇴 in July 2026. 'Wallachian Gates', as per the promoters on the Facebook and (now private) Instagram page, is scheduled for July 10-11 in Buzǎu, a small city 1.5-2h from Bucharest

Daily Memo: 16th In-Custody ICE Death Reported as ICE Ramps Up Targeting in Los Angeles The full report on lataco.com.

UPDATE: The LAPD officer at the center of this story -- Vincent Deglinnocenti -- is no longer an LAPD officer. Last month he surrendered his license to be a cop in CA. This comes a year after my reporting pushed the LAPD to investigate Deglinnocenti for pulling a gun on a teen. @lataco.bsky.social

Well this thread is still going.

Israel is using Caterpillar D9 bulldozers to destroy homes in Lebanon and Palestine right now. Our tax dollars pay for all of it. The Senate will vote this week to block Trump’s $295 million giveaway of these bulldozers to Israel. Call your senators now: imeupolicy.org/noweapons

THIS is Jonah Levi. The headline photo is of Messiah Nantwi, the victim.

As far as I'm aware, no Portland area media have written about this death besides @thewesternedge.bsky.social, even as national outlets are picking it up. Bizarre!

The message of an overturned charge for protesting isn't "the law was on your side the whole time," it's that the law can't save you from the cops even when it's clear you're in the right

I worked at an Amazon warehouse for 14 hours & quit after returning from the bathroom to find our trainer lying face down on the floor, her face smashed from passing out. These events - deaths & injuries are very common at their warehouses.

Amazon warehouse worker died on the job at Oregon facility - the worker collapsed on the floor at the PDX9 warehouse and lay dead as employees continued to work around his body.

When people are like, "Where is the money for X going to come from?" I'm like, the police budget. The money you are looking for is in the police budget. It's in police contracts (many of which mandate an annual increase--PVD's does) & police pensions, but it's also in things like the supply budget

Mark Zuckerberg Building AI Clone To Replace Him In Meetings: Meta is developing an AI avatar of Mark Zuckerberg that could interact with employees using his voice, image, mannerisms, and public statements, "so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it."

I think it will happen soon.

We need this energy. Nothing less than completing Reconstruction.

Aries season, honestly

So, what happened to the Ukrainian bank's trucks full of gold? Did that stuff get returned or is it Orban's retirement fund now
