Ruh roh. Here is a leaked webinar hosted by Flock demonstrating to police how to track individuals in real time involved in the no kings protests. Maybe you’re thinking “so what?! I don’t go to those and don’t agree with those who did.”
Let me remind you, a digital dragnet built to target your political opponents today will be used against you tomorrow.
Once the surveillance state is turned on, it watches everyone.
In February 2025, Tranyelle Harshman, a Wyoming mother of four with no history of violence, shot her four daughters and then took her own life. Her family describes an event completely out of character for a loving mother. In this video I examine what her medical care looked like in the months before, because according to the wrongful death lawsuit her mother has now filed, that care centered on take-home ketamine for postpartum depression. If you followed my coverage of the Lindsay Clancy case, the pattern here will be painfully familiar.
According to the lawsuit and public reporting, Tranyelle sought help for postpartum depression in late 2024 and was prescribed ketamine lozenges to take at home. I want to explain why that detail matters. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic. In most settings it is administered under clinical supervision precisely because it can cause psychiatric disturbances, dissociation, hallucinations, and dangerous blood pressure spikes. Tranyelle reportedly experienced heart palpitations, trouble focusing, and a sense of disconnection from reality, and reported this to her provider. The response, according to the complaint, was that these reactions were common, and her dose was increased. On February 10, after taking that increased dose, the unthinkable happened. Toxicology reportedly showed a blood ketamine level four times the threshold associated with mind-altering effects and physical impairment.
The clinic and provider deny wrongdoing and say the treatment followed the standard of care. A court will decide that question, and I am careful in this video to separate what is alleged from what is established. But the clinical lesson does not need to wait for a verdict, because it is the same lesson from the Clancy case: when a patient reports getting worse on a psychiatric drug, the answer is never to double down. An adverse reaction is information. Raising the dose into it is how tragedies are built.
I also talk about what should surround any mother struggling after childbirth: family involved in her care, providers who listen when she says something feels wrong, and real attention to the fundamentals before and alongside any medication, not medication alone at home with no one watching.
Four little girls deserved a system that treated their mother's warning signs as warnings.
When an expert is not really an expert. The embarrassing case where Dr. Mack, the Commonwealth's "expert witness" in Clancy previously testified for the State of Florida. The State lost.
The Eleventh Circuit wrote:
"The long and short of it is that the district court acted well within its discretion (nothing it did was manifestly erroneous) when it determined that Dr. Mack was not qualified by background, training, or expertise to opine about the degree of drug use in Florida's TANF population."
@defense_diaries :The opinion writes extensively about why he was correctly disqualified.

Flock takes their privacy very seriously.
But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways.
Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.
We need more even-keeled Lindsay Clancy content on TikTok ... help @defense_diaries get into more people's feed - like, comment share on TikTok

The Kansas teacher who was arrested for clapping in opposition to data centers responds, per 404media
“…clapping is a First Amendment right that I have. I can exercise that as long as I'm not disrupting, and I still argue that I was not disrupting at all”
We are two days in and it is abundantly clear that Kevin Reddington is ready for this fight.
This is THE case that moves the needle on a much greater understanding of mental illness and its relationship with the criminal justice system.
The case is absolutely gut-wrenching to watch…just imagine sitting on this jury. The weight of it all. My god.
Kevin Reddington has tried many big cases in his storied career…but THIS is his legacy case. He is a fierce advocate. His passion for this case and in defending Lindsay Clancy is palpable. It’s undeniable when you are watching the trial…it’s Reddington and Clancy, alone fighting the crushing power of the Government.
This frame from today captures the essence of what being a criminal defense attorney feels like.
It’s the hardest job in the world.

@MAGACult2 https://t.co/TwJPQouyXg and now #Topeka#Kansas it’s starting, 5-days ago a conditional use permit was issued. Company holding a meeting tonight!
This is incredibly embarrassing for Trump. Dr. Oz spoke at the state fair in DC today and said the crowd was huge… and then the camera panned showing empty fields.
UPDATE to the dad who took his two young girls in QT women’s restroom & had the cops called on him by a man.Tyler said the cops got there & explained he did nothing wrong & they made the man leave.They calmed the little girls & the staff gave them ICEEs.The manager Melissa rocked
FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
