Flock isn’t the only issue
I don’t want Comcast watching me through my WiFi
I don’t want the NSA listening to my moms secret family recipe for brandy cherry pie
I don’t want Siri changing my advertisement settings
Repeal the Patriot act
STOP FLOCK. STOP AI MASS SURVEILLANCE.
Totalitarianism is when a government or another entity with overwhelming power seeks to know, control and influence everything you do, say and even think. I fear very much that if we don't act aggressively, that is where we’re heading.
You may not know it, but you may already be being tracked by artificial intelligence.
Flock, a surveillance company backed by Big Tech oligarchs like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, has installed more than 120,000 AI-powered surveillance cameras across America.
These AI cameras scan and record 20 BILLION vehicles every month across more than 6,000 communities.
What does that mean for you? It means that if Flock is in your community, every time you leave your house, a Flock camera records and tracks you.
If you are dropping your kids off at school, Flock knows.
If you are going to a doctor, Flock knows.
If you are going out on a date, Flock knows.
And that’s not all.
Newer Flock cameras do not just record vehicles. They record people. Flock’s AI system can combine images of you and your vehicle with databases of phone numbers, relatives and court records to find out who you are, where you're going and why.
In my view, this raises some very fundamental questions. Do we want to live in an America where AI companies like Flock can work with the government to track our every movement? Do we want to live in an America where our privacy rights and civil liberties — enshrined in the Constitution — are traded away so that AI oligarchs can collect more information, and increase their profits even more?
The answer must be NO. We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where a handful of AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement.
We must come together to stop Flock and AI mass surveillance. That is why I will soon be introducing legislation to do just that.
Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can’t repeat past mistakes. In this upcoming election, we need to:
Quit calling @BernieSanders an “antisemite.”
Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump’s robber baron corruption.
Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy.
It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?
Dolly Parton on supporting the LGBTQ+ community (2016): “I do not believe we should criticize and judge other people. If you’re the fine Christian you think you are, why are you judging people? I just think we should be more loving, more caring. We are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. You should be allowed to be how you are and who you are”
This is how you lose the General. Even with Crowley winning, he still didn't break 50%. Being unwilling to move even a little on policy is how you alienate voters. Unity tour my ass
Exactly my concern with Crowley. You have to run on something, not just against something. This was a losing strategy two years ago, and they will underperform if they stay on this path.
I still want to know what the fuck Crowleys platform is! Don't hit me with the holistically viewing the tax code crap, either. Thats jargon, not policy.
BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.
“And every four years when the World Cup comes around, we will say that we’d dominate if we had a stronger youth program.”
“And will we develop a stronger youth program?”
“We will not.”
Past GOP state supreme court packing:
AZ (2016): 5→7, locked in conservative majority
GA (2016): 7→9, flipped Dem majority to GOP
UT (2026): 5→7 after redistricting case loss
They also killed nonpartisan elections in OH and NC, are killing a nominating commission in KS, etc.
I believe firing Topper was the correct decision. But that doesn’t make me happy. Dombrowski and the players deserve far more blame. Topper clearly is a good person, and I believe a good manager, so it’s a damn shame his time here ends like this.
Thomson didn’t sign Castellanos and Walker. He didn’t insist that Merrifield, Kepler, Romano, and Kemp would be contributors. He didn’t fail to acquire a righty power bat. He didn’t keep promoting draft and dev officials with no track records of success. Dombrowski must go, too.
One of the best guys in the game. A professional and a guy who took care of the players.
He wasn’t perfect, but he helped them recover in 2022 and succeed 23-25
Sad that he has to take the fall for a completely disastrous offseason by Dave Dombrowski
Best of luck to Rob
