“Disabled people can have jobs and take care of themselves, too!”
Some can. Some can’t. The issue is that a person’s right to dignity shouldn’t depend on whether they’re useful to an employer, the economy, or the state.
People with children should be louder about Meta glasses. Do y’all understand that anyone could be recording your child without you knowing? And that footage could end up anywhere?
I commanded a moment of silence on the House floor to honor the women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care.
Everyday I will continue to fight for reproductive freedom in their name. Abortion care is a human right.
Anti-ICE protesters are serving more time than child rapists and sex traffickers.
More time than insurrectionists.
More time than many murderers.
Wake up.
These sentences are a warning shot meant to silence dissent.
Did you know there are cameras in your neighborhood photographing your car every single time you drive past them?
They're called Flock Safety cameras.
Solar-powered poles. mounted at neighborhood entrances, intersections, and parking lots. they look like traffic cameras. they're not.
Every vehicle that passes gets photographed. license plate read. make, model, color, and any distinguishing features like bumper stickers or roof racks logged. timestamped. location recorded. uploaded to a searchable database.
no warrant or opt-out option.
if you drive past 10 Flock cameras a day a conservative estimate in a suburban area the system builds 300 data points on your vehicle per month. 9,000 per year. not on suspects. on everyone.
over 5,000 law enforcement agencies across the US use Flock. over 6,000 communities. the cameras are also sold to HOAs and private businesses. the neighbor who installs one at their driveway entrance is feeding data to the same national network.
now here's where it gets serious.
federal agencies accessed SFPD's Flock cameras more than 1.6 million times. Los Altos's readers shared data with out-of-state agencies over a million times. before Washington state's new law took effect, federal agencies tried to access Virginia's Flock network thousands of times for immigration enforcement.
a Texas sheriff's deputy used ALPR data to search for the car of a woman who had an abortion.
Flock says they don't support ICE use of their data. California law explicitly prohibits sharing ALPR data with federal agencies.
San Jose PD granted what investigators called a "side door" access to CBP and ICE anyway. the audit logs showed the search reasons: "fresno dea intel." "CBP." "ICE."
at least 30 cities have canceled their Flock contracts since 2025. Cambridge. Santa Cruz. Eugene. Flagstaff.
Flock's CEO called the opposition a "coordinated attack" from groups who "want to defund the police."
a Virginia police chief wrote back disagreeing. publicly.
the cameras don't track suspects.
they track everyone.
and the data goes wherever someone with access decides to send it.
MYTH: Healthcare fraud only happens in blue states like California.
FACT: Trump’s OWN DOJ just released a report finding the TOP 2 STATES for fraud in recent enforcement actions are led by Republican Governors!
This week, 15 of our regions have been targeted by Russian strikes. There have been almost daily attacks on Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Sumy. The Russians are using various types of weapons to strike people, ordinary residential buildings, and our civilian infrastructure. Unfortunately, there are casualties from this terror almost every day. And the threat of these Russian attacks remains constant. Over the course of this past week alone, there were around 1,400 attack drones, almost 1,500 guided aerial bombs, and 19 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones.
Strengthening air defense – primarily anti-ballistic protection – expanding cooperation within the Drone Deal format, and increasing pressure on the aggressor are key priorities. Sanctions on Russia and its partners over this war must be enforced where they will be felt most. We need strong and rapid steps that will force Russia to move toward ending this war. Everything that strengthens Ukraine helps bring peace closer. I thank everyone who is helping us.
