The site https://t.co/9tOj5Eqnbs has a map showing all the Flock cameras (with license plate readers) near you. Over 100,000 Flock devices already registered. Mass surveillance is under way. Spread the word and oppose Flock cameras. They need to be outlawed. This is a private company monitoring vehicles and selling all the data to the government and various corporations, in total violation of the Fourth Amendment.
One thing I find painful is that life could be SO EASY, like SO ÐAMN EASY. There is so much stuff rotting in storage units, in garages, nearly half of all food goes to waste, there's enough clothing for the next Six(6) generations!!! We don't even need to be working really at all, our ancestors broke down their bodies to build all this sht, the least we could do is slow down to actually utilize and fairly distribute it all. Instead, we all suffer endlessly while 8 men control half the world's wealth.
A city in Oregon was forced to permanently remove its Flock cameras after an audit found that federal agencies had access to the system.
The audit revealed that two federal agencies could access the data, including the ability to search the broader network of license plate records for up to six months.
Flock cameras are used as a mass surveillance tool under the guise of public safety.
genuinely hard to stomach, that in addition to all their crimes, the fact that isr*el has been relentlessly bombing palestine, releasing tonnes of Co2 in the air & has absolutely had a hand in an accelerating global warming, yet there are not and will be no consequences for them
Pretty revealing that what galvanized “centrist” Dems was losing to a couple DSA candidates not for example, losing to a bunch of corrupt fascists who want to end Democracy.
The fact that now leftists like Mamdani get to say “I’m not interested in writing a manifesto, or frankly in reading one; I’m interested in delivering” as juxtaposed against manifesto-writing, scolding centrists is so incredibly funny
same old boring shite response. "We want a seat at the evil table so we have a say on how they dictate the evil tech." Im sick of people saying the only way they can have a voice is if they join them. A24 already have a voice and it would have been stronger if they rejected A.I.
The homeless people take nothing from you and demand nothing of your life yet society ostracizes them.
The billionaires take everything from you, demanding your livelihood. they literally control your access to life, and society idolizes them. it's wiłd.
Pirated movies are yours forever (till your HD gets corrupted).
No corporation can delete them on their whim. There is very little moral ground to oppose piracy when buying is not owning.
Support piracy. Support physical media.
Heat makes metal expand. Train tracks expand the trains can't run. Trains dont run, people, fuel, chemicals, food, and equipment don't move. They don't move, economies stall.
Global warming has always been an economic crisis, so let's see how the capitalists respond.
An American just got sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving “Antifa” zines and there’s about 1000x as much media coverage of Trump’s reflecting pool 👍
it's an odd situation in the US that restaurant owners pay deliberately low salaries to their wait staff taking for granted that customers will subsidize them. yes do tip at least 20% since this situation is seemingly immutable & will not change.
don't taxpayers also help subsidize minimum-wage or lower employees at enormously wealthy stores like Walmart? that is, they pay such low salaries that their employees have to have public assistance to survive.
in other words, a peculiar sort of socialism. & supposedly, "socialism" is taboo in the US.
but don't blame the employees, they are not the source of the problem.
Therapy helps but let’s be clear. You can’t CBT your way out of capitalism. You can’t mindfulness your way out of racism. You can’t self care your way out of oppression. You can’t journal your way out of ableism. This isn’t about coping, it’s about deconstructing the systems.
Doctors 25% more likely to miss a diagnosis on a patient within 3 months after Ai is implemented. The results indicate Ai has an immediate negative effect on professionals skillsets vs prolonged reliance.

No, but that’s the point. “Terrorism” is not a word meant to be used with any sort of function beyond undermining movements that challenge capital and imperial efforts. Wrote a piece on this a while back.
