American citizens across the country are physically cutting down Flock cameras as authorities are losing control as more people are viewing the technology as an unconstitutional form of mass surveillance.
The incidents are being described as part of a growing trend where cordless, battery-powered tools are used to quickly cut down Flock camera poles because they are highly portable, fast, and quiet.
Mass surveillance must be stopped everywhere.
Walmart recorded your voiceprint when you called customer service.
Did not tell you.
Did not ask you.
Built a voice profile.
Stored it in a database.
Then a second Walmart sued them for recording warehouse workers’ voiceprints through headsets.
Then a third lawsuit for facial recognition in stores.
Three biometric systems.
One company.
All being sued at the same time.
McDonald’s. Applebee’s. Chipotle. Domino’s. Wingstop.
All recorded voiceprints during pizza orders.
Verizon enrolled customers in voice ID without asking.
Your voiceprint cannot be changed.
Your face cannot be changed.
If Walmart’s database gets breached your voice is compromised forever.
Every future authentication system you use is now at risk.
The voiceprint is not a password.
It is a biometric identifier.
And it is sitting in a Walmart database.
This is only illegal in Illinois.
BIPA is the only US law that lets you sue.
In 47 states companies can collect your fingerprints face and voice.
With zero legal consequence.
The customer service call you made five years ago.
Was a biometric harvesting operation.
You just found out.

An online group called "Operation Flockout" is targeting Flock cameras nationwide
Their goal is to eradicate them 90% by the end of summer and 100% by the end of the year
We just lost another legend today 😔
Figueira Júnior has passed away on June 27, 2026, after suffering a cardiac arrest.
For many fans, his voice became inseparable from Android 17 in Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super. He was also remembered for voicing Philip J. Fry in Futurama, a role that showed his range beyond anime and made him part of another beloved animated classic.
Known works include:
Dragon Ball Z — Android 17
Futurama — Philip J. Fry
Getbackers — Kazuki Fuchouin
Fullmetal Alchemist — Kain Fuery
Futurama — Fry
Batman — Robin
Rave — Shadow Master
Get Backers — Kazuki
and many more!
Behind every iconic character is a performer who gives them life, attitude, humor, and emotion. Figueira Júnior’s work helped make Android 17 unforgettable to generations of fans who grew up watching Dragon Ball.
We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, fans, and the dubbing community in Brazil.
May he rest in peace 🕊️
We need to bring back intellectual elitism. Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.
And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history.
And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American.
What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”
And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.
Compensation Last Year
CEO of Tesla & SpaceX: $158 billion
CEO of Warner Brothers: $165 million
CEO of Blackstone: $126 million
They pay the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
Let's end that absurdity, scrap the cap and raise Social Security benefits.
Sharing this one again too because I have faith Absolute Batman series is just the beginning, and would totally love an Absolute Wonder Woman series too.
I did this when they met and ened loving both issues, so here's me wishing they meet in animated form too!
