Surfing the waves of Silicon Valley...

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

17 million people just lost health care.

18 million kids just lost school meals.

3 million Americans just lost food assistance.

And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit.

All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors.

The ultimate betrayal.

The pattern: Local surveillance feeds federal databases. DOGE + Palantir are now merging DHS data with local records to track citizens. ICE gets access to cameras, license plate readers, facial recognition. The speed camera becomes part of a national surveillance grid. #privacy

[Henrik Gehrmann @HenrikGehrmann]

Speed cameras today, facial recognition tomorrow? This infrastructure can easily be repurposed for broader surveillance. What stops actors from using these camera networks to track political dissidents, protesters, or anyone deemed 'undesirable'? #MissionCreep #ACLU #EFF #Privacy

@SFMTA Voters approved Prop E expanding police surveillance; now we have 33 speed cameras creating a comprehensive tracking network. This isn't just about traffic safety - it's about normalizing constant government monitoring. Where does surveillance expansion end? #Privacy

[Henrik Gehrmann @HenrikGehrmann]

@SFMTA Appreciate road safety efforts, but have concerns about new speed cameras on multi-lane streets with 25mph limits. Received a warning for driving 45mph on a 4-lane road - seems like engineering standards may need review. Please consider appropriate speed limits #RoadSafety

You got it wrong @NewsHour

The problem is not people tipping too little. The problem is not paying people a living wage.

Hi @AOPA instead of 'Poker Runs', which are not really beneficial to anyone than the pilot, why not setup missions (or adventure hunts) that involve helping people? For example, Angel Flights, transporting pets, or bringing food or medicine supplies to remote places...

San Francisco: The SFPD is attempting to drastically expand the police’s ability to access live and historical footage from private surveillance cameras. Tell the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors to reject this surveillance overreach!!

An idea called America

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Our way of life – based on producing, consuming, discarding & polluting -has led to the planetary emergency we face.

Now is the time to transform our relationship with nature.

But we must avoid empty promises. We need to match commitments with credible and verifiable actions.
