The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
@PoliceThePolic1 Put their fingerprints (IAFIS) and DNA (CODIS/NDIS) in federal databases.
Divert all non critical funds and resources to processing Rape Kits until there is no backlog.
@TheTNHoller@billmaher@ossoff@DanaBashCNN Thats it, Dana Fash, it's just for attention, and it has nothing to do with a population of 2 million being forced out of their homes because their neighbor systematically flattened all of the critical infrastructure and killed hundreds of thousands.
the man vs bear debate has been upgraded to man vs lion.
a 12-year-old girl in Ethiopia was abducted by a group of men. Three lions heard her crying, chased the men off, and stayed with her until police arrived. a pack of wild lions protected a little girl from men.
let that sink in.
@TheTNHoller D’s version of MFA is NOT universal care, it’s simply removes the Age requirement. They haven’t thought it through, because they don’t want to change the current system. We deserve true universal healthcare, cradle to grave, inc dental, vision, and mental.
🚨 BREAKING: According to attorney Mike Howard, Austin Metcalf once spray-painted “KKK k*ll all blacks,” “Heil Hitler,” and the N-word.
He and his twin got 12 months of juvenile probation for it.
When caught, he told authorities: “We did some dumb stuff.”
At a previous track meet, when a student said someone not on their team was “talking wild” behind the bench, Austin reportedly replied: “K*ll that mf.”
This is the same person who walked up to Karmelo Anthony under that tent.
Some things only surface when a motion for a new trial forces the records open.
These FALSE arrests and stops starting to make sense. Flock is feeding the police ALERTS 🚨 based off of altered, degraded, low-resolution copies of license plate data ALERTS .
If POLICE want a more high-resolution original file with the metadata, the police department is forced to go back to Flock and request the "premium" file from Flock's corporate vault. Flock is deliberately degrading evidence to artificially manufacture a dependence and they’ve altered their TERMS & CONDITIONS 4X MID CONTRACT
Why would a company do this?
Because If the police only get degraded copies, the police investigation relies on Flock to "enhance" or provide the real data. But more importantly, if the police department cancels the contract (like Evanston or LAPD), the police lose access to their own "owned" data because Flock controls the method and medium of access. But Flock retains a perpetual license to use the high-resolution data.
Say a CITY wants to LEAVE and CANCEL FLOCK contract
the police lose access to the high-resolution originals. If THEY have OPEN cases they all die because the degraded copies they have on file are legally useless in court. This guarantees Flock's contracts are practically unbreakable.🚨⚠️
They are holding the original evidence hostage to ensure police departments can never truly leave their platform.
🚨🚨
If the police use a degraded Flock image in court, the defense will destroy it because it lacks authentication (no metadata). This guarantees that cases will be thrown out or wrongful convictions will occur because the original high-quality data is withheld by Flock as leverage.
One example ⚠️
LAPD's audit found that 161 plate matches were confirmed by officers, but the vehicles were not stolen. That means the "hot lists" feeding the alerts are inaccurate.
Why is this allowed to persist? Flock's new T&C expands protections against liability for willful misconduct or gross negligence ⚠️. Flock knows the alerts are false. They know cops are stopping people based on bad data. But they shifted the liability to the taxpayers (the city) and locked the city into mandatory arbitration in Georgia so the citizens can't sue Flock effectively.

Another case is where
Evanston, Illinois, voted to cancel their Flock contract and deactivate their 19 cameras in August 2025. They issued an official termination notice. During the termination period, the cameras disappeared from the poles. But then, Flock physically reinstalled the cameras back on Evanston streets without municipal authorization🚨👀
Evanston issued a cease-and-desist order on September 18. Flock claimed the reinstalled cameras were "inactive," but they left them up for months, only removing them when a news organization started asking questions.
Why would a company reinstall dead cameras on public poles after being fired?
Look at the new February 2026 contract terms. Flock wrote in a "perpetual" right for themselves to keep using customer data to "support and improve its services" even after a town terminates its relationship with Flock.
Flock wrote the perpetual license into the contract because they are building a shadow surveillance network using the physical infrastructure of cancelled jurisdictions.
A camera that is "inactive" to the local police department is not inactive to Flock's corporate servers🚨👀. The Flock cameras are solar-powered and cellular-enabled. They do not need the local police department's network to operate. They connect directly to Flock's cloud..
When Evanston cancelled their contract, Flock reinstalled the cameras because those cameras were still transmitting raw vehicle data to Flock's nationwide database for their own proprietary use. They bypassed the local city council entirely. Flock is using the physical utility poles of cities that explicitly fired them to illegally harvest location data on American citizens without a government contract or legal authorization

@RepThomasMassie
FLOCK does not REDUCE crime and does NOT help police it’s all a lie ‼️The Atlanta data proves it . Flock's headquarters city, their flagship installation. The Connect Atlanta surveillance network, which includes Flock, grew from 3,300 integrated cameras in 2021 to over 28,000 by 2026.
https://t.co/ZS6rdhqUck
If Flock's claims were true, Atlanta's crime clearance rates should have skyrocketed.
They flatlined or dropped.
Clearance rate went from 53.4% in 2021 to 48.0% in 2025. A 5.4% drop.
• Motor Vehicle Theft: Clearance rate was 9.9% in 2021, dropped to a catastrophic 3.9% in 2024, and only bounced back to 10.2% in 2025 after the overall crime rate dropped nationwide.
• Human Trafficking: APD reported 34 cases since October 2020 and only cleared seven. The last clearance was in May 2024. Since then, 12 new cases were reported with zero clearances.
The single most surveilled city in America, using Flock's flagship product, saw no meaningful improvement in solving the very crimes Flock claims to be best at solving. The data proves their core sales pitch is a lie.
——
Now, look at Flock's own numbers. They claim their 2025 "Impact Census" shows that in their jurisdictions, "an estimated 20% of solved cases were assisted with Flock technology." This is the number they sell to city councils. It is a masterclass in statistical manipulation.⚠️🚨🚨👀👀
Here is the trick: They are not measuring Flock's impact on the overall crime problem. They are measuring Flock's impact on the already ‼️➡️solved cases. ⬅️🚨⚠️
It is a fundamentally dishonest framing.
Imagine a city has 100 crimes. Police solve 10 of them. That is a 10% clearance rate. If Flock's camera was used in 2 of those 10 solved cases, Flock can claim it "assisted" in 20% of the cleared cases. It sounds impressive. But in reality, Flock only helped solve 2% of the total crimes committed.
This is the shell game. 🚨🚨
They are taking credit for a slice of an already small pie. They are not showing they made the pie bigger. The Atlanta data proves the pie is not getting bigger. The clearance rates are stagnant. Flock is just taking a bigger slice of the credit for the same number of solved cases.🚨
1—
Flock also claims they helped locate "more than 10,000 missing persons" and that "42% of customers report that Flock was involved in recovering half or more of the stolen vehicles."🚨🚨
This is another layer of deception.
First, "involved" is not "responsible for." An officer might run a plate through Flock as a routine step in a stolen car investigation where the car was already found by a witness, or a missing person was already found and their vehicle was identified. Flock's system gets a query, so they count it as an "involvement." It is a vanity metric designed for marketing, not a measure of causal impact.‼️🚨
Second, the stolen vehicle number is a self-reported survey from their customers. It is not audited data. It is a customer satisfaction poll. Of course, a police chief who just spent millions on Flock cameras is going to say they are effective. Their job depends on justifying the expenditure. This is not data. It is a testimonial.🚨🚨

THE CITIES WITH FLOCK VS. CITIES WITHOUT FLOCK: THE UNASKED QUESTION
1. Cherry-Picking Anecdotes: They will have a police chief from a small town give a speech about how Flock solved one major case. This is powerful propaganda, but it is not data. It ignores the hundreds of other cases that went unsolved and ignores the systemic failure shown in Atlanta's clearance rates.
🚨 For playing with his friends in an abandoned house, a 14-year-old boy was shot by a trigger happy cop ready to open fire on the first thing he saw.
"He just didn't give me time to follow his directions."
Men are in my comments crying because I said period products should be free since menstruation isn’t a choice 😭
And they keep replying with:
“Food should be free too, hunger isn’t a choice.”
Like… yes? 😭
I actually agree.
