NEW: When a Wisconsin mayor ended his city's contract with Flock (the AI surveillance company), he was stunned to see Flock refused to remove cameras. So he covered them with plastic bags. Now local activists are taking their fight to Madison & the Dane County sheriff, wanting more cameras gone.

“Reza Pahlavi's Movement Is Dangerous. I've Seen It Up Close” Pahlavi attempts to portray himself as a democrat who could be a 'transitional' leader but the movement he 'leads' has exhibited alarming behavior, writes ⁦‪Alireza Nader‬⁩ for Zeteo:

Tens of millions of dollars in Super PAC money flowed into Illinois’ primary race: crypto, AI, and dark money PACs that hide where the money came from. AIPAC spent $22 million through shell PACs and never even talked about Israel. Sadly, we’re going to see it in our primaries as well. (1/2)

California families pay their fair share. Why don’t billion-dollar corporations? I’m proposing a plan to eliminate CA state income tax for families by modernizing our corporate tax structure. Democrats won't win by saying "trust us" on costs. We have to actually lower them.

Trump is the President. He makes shitty decisions every day. He saw an opportunity to make more money in the ME from attacking Iran w/Israel. He doesn’t care about the consequences.

Trump has a r*pists mentality. He doesn’t care whether he’s violating a woman, child, or an entire country. Taking what he has no right to take by force makes it all the more enjoyable for him. Every country must refuse to save Trump/MAGA/Israel from the consequences of their actions. Period.
