What it looks like when:

High grocery prices are policy choices that allow extreme market consolidation and price gouging.
Pro-Trump states and counties had far higher COVID death rates.
Misinformation and disinformation were to blame.
Trump and Musk were the biggest propagators of misinformation in terms of reach.
It was all projection and distraction. Everything they told you about socialism has already happened under capitalism. You already are in a dystopia, it's up to you to stand up and put a stop to it.
The US stock market peaked 26 years ago.
Priced in gold, the S&P 500 is still down 66% from its 2000 high.
It is LOWER today than the day Nixon closed the gold window.
You just don't see it — because you measure your life in dollars.
I don’t care how “efficient” the private sector is.
Some services should never be run as businesses.
Health care. Water. Electricity. Gas. Prisons.
If a company makes more money when people get sicker, stay locked up longer, or have no choice but to pay, that’s a system built on conflicting interests.
"Always fly the plane till you crash it".
May 2024. Cessna 210 had an engine issue over Sydney (Australia). The pilot followed the motto above and was able to glide into an emergency landing. No one was hurt
They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.
Yet in just the last few days:
-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.
-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.
-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.
The surveillance state isn't inevitable.
It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.
Public pressure works. Keep pushing.
Insane video of Russian anti aircraft gunner losing control of a YakB-12.7 heavy machine gun usually attached to a Mi-24 gunship but repurposed to shoot down drones.
This woman is reciting Trump’s words exactly as he said them during the NATO summit.
We have become so inured to Trump’s incoherence that is sanewashed by the media 24/7 that we fail to recognize just how much he’s declined.
Reading a transcript of his words makes it SO CLEAR.
🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!!
Over 100 Flock cameras that were set to "go dark" at the end of June after city council voted to shut them down...
...have bizarrely just REMAINED ON and the police are still using them
On June 17, the city council's safety committee voted to END the contract because when they asked police to prove these cameras actually reduce crime, the police could point to only 3 cases that led to convictions.
So the city council let the contract expire on June 29th, but then people noticed the cameras were still up...
...because Flock VOLUNTEERED to keep running them for FREE while the city "figures it out."
In fact, police confirmed they are still running them to "keep the community safe" and the company agreed to keep the system live, despite the contract expiring.
It gets worse.
When reporters asked simple questions like... is data still being collected? Do the cameras shut off or keep recording? Who can access what was already stored? It turned out that neither the city NOR Flock would answer.
So just to recap:
The contract is expired.
The elected body said no.
Nobody re-authorized it.
Flock won't say what it's doing with the data.
...but the cameras are STILL ON and being used by police
