Stay calm, he's only putting sniper nests all over our capital and making his deployment of active-duty military there permanent because he loves America so much

You should only get worried if he does something truly crazy like incite an armed attack on the United States Capitol

Jon Stewart on the Supreme Court: “They have single-handedly made it impossible for us to reform and save our democracy. The way they have made it that corporations are people and money is speech. There has to be a process of amending the Constitution. This idea that Citizens United stands as the law of the land is the biggest bunch of shit. The Constitution is in a suicide pact and money in elections is killing this country”

BREAKING: EVERY scheduled opening act on Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour has now withdrawn after Macklemore was dropped over his pro-Palestinian remarks.

Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Finneas have all pulled out, while Sheeran’s touring band Beoga has also quit. Each cited solidarity with Macklemore, Palestinians, or opposition to artists being silenced.

Historian Howard Zinn:

"You can’t be neutral on a moving train. The world is already moving in certain directions - many of them are horrifying. Children are going hungry, people are dying in wars. To be neutral in such a situation is to collaborate with what is going on."

Twelve firefighters who were working in my husband's firehouse died on 9/11. The "riding list," handwritten in chalk shows all the men who were on duty that day. It still hangs on the firehouse wall, forever preserved in glass. Engine 40 Ladder 35

Captain Frank Callahan, Kevin Bracken, Michael D'Auria, Lieutenant John Ginley, Steve Mercado, Michael Roberts, Michael Otten, Jimmy Giberson, Dan Marshall, Bruce Gary, Michael Lynch, Vincent Morello.

If you go back through all of human history and plucked out the very best that humanity has to offer, the firefighters of FDNY on 9/11 would be among the very top of the list.

[Ninth Floor Vista @9thfloorvista]

All of us who witnessed this were forever changed. Irreparably and permanently so.

I will never forget these souls and the heroes that rushed in to help.

[Kristen Carney @KristenCarney]

Her scream at the realization ‘they did it on purpose’ is such a painfully guttural sound. It’s what true horror sounds like when the human soul recognizes evil before the mind can comprehend it. The sound of her innocence being ripped away in an instant. It was taken from all of us that morning and we've never gotten it back. #neverforget but #weforgot

[The Sopranos Guy™ @uncle_june]

In the aftermath of 9/11, Steve Buscemi returned to his old fire station, where he had served as a firefighter in the early 1980s.

Donning his old uniform, he worked 12 hour shifts for days on end, searching for survivors in the rubble of the World Trade Center.

He did so without media attention, a quiet act of courage that later became a powerful symbol of solidarity.

That man’s name was Welles Crowther and he single handedly saved 18 lives that day by repeatedly leading groups of people to safety all the way from the 78th floor of the South Tower. He even carried a woman 17 floors who was too injured and weak to walk. He died during the collapse because he refused to leave anyone behind and went back into the building hoping to find more survivors. He was more of a man and hero than Trump could ever hope to be.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

More evidence that the president of the United States is psychotic. He’s been called out on this lie for many years. Once upon a time he knew he was bullshitting. But he has convinced himself of it now, as he has with all of the other fantasies with which he today soothes his fragile ego and that the world watches and listens to every day.

That’s the end stage of narcissistic sociopathy, of malignant narcissism. He’s rapidly decompensating into psychosis, and it’s accelerating.

Are we really still going to entrust him with the nuclear codes?

Is the media still not going to talk about the president’s depleted mental health?

This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this

California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America

“I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I've served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I've designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I'm not speculating on how this technology works. I've read their patents and I know how it works.

Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story.

They're AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company's servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn't add up

The city council should also understand who they're doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie.

Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras.

Now consider who's behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock's primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure.

Palantir's own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that's the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into.

We're not anti-police at all. We're against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We're asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock's database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract”

I looked more into this and he is 100% right

Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries

Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers.

This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure

If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to. Cancel all contracts nationwide
