🚨#BREAKING: An INSANE story is unfolding in Troy, New York where a mayor who overrode her own city council's vote to END their Flock camera contract, by declaring a "public emergency," is now FUMING after citizens began cutting down the cameras!
The female mayor said that cutting down the cameras was "an act of violence..." and is begging the public to help identify who did it.
This is Troy, New York.
Troy's own City Council... the elected representatives of the people... VOTED to stop the Flock contract over privacy concerns.
They ordered the funding withheld.
So what did the mayor do?
She literally declared a "PUBLIC EMERGENCY" to keep the surveillance cameras running anyway.
So just to be clear:
>The people's representatives said end Flock cams.
>The mayor forced them to stay up by declaring an "emergency."
>She's now being SUED by her own city council over it. >The council is so alarmed they're trying to STRIP her power to declare emergencies at all.
And when frustrated citizens finally took a few of those cameras down themselves...
...the mayor called that "violence."
One of the wildest stories I've ever seen...
Starbucks employees expose that Starbucks is using “blending powder” in many of their newer drinks
This new powder was just introduced this month. If you drink Starbucks you should be concerned about this
This “blending powder” consists of Gum arabic, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, natural flavor, silica and stevia extract (rebaudioside-A)
The reason they use it is because it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer
The gums and other components create a smoother, more consistent frozen blended texture and slows separation that would otherwise happen soon after the drink leaves the blender
Starbucks employees have been making videos saying it makes their throats hurt, makes them cough and makes their head hurt
The silica is silicon dioxide and acts as an anti-caking agent. This is a very controversial ingredient for health concerns
But it’s also a concern for these Starbucks employees because inhaling it is dangerous
Fine silica dust can become airborne when the powder is scooped. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of certain forms of silica is linked to serious lung conditions like silicosis
This should not be put in drinks we consume
Our food is a science experiment
‘Starbucks Workers United and individual baristas have publicly raised concerns since the powder’s introduction around mid-July 2026. Reports include the powder becoming airborne easily, along with some partners mentioning symptoms like sore throats, coughing, or chest irritation’
