Drones used in Israel's genocide of Palestinians are now surveilling Americans. Why isn't corporate media covering it?

According to Nate Bear's Substack ¡Do Not Panic!, after October 7, US drone manufacturer Skydio supplied more than 100 Al-powered surveillance drones to the Israeli military for use in Gaza. By 2025, US police departments across major cities began deploying the same drone models to monitor protests and public spaces.

Skydio now holds contracts with more than 800 US law enforcement and security agencies, up from 320 in early 2024. Federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), use drones to track and pursue targets, while police departments launch them hundreds of times a day in towns and cities nationwide.

A March 2025 rule change expanded police drone use by allowing flights beyond visual line of sight and over crowded areas. The New York Police Department alone has flown drones more than 20,000 times in under a year, including at political protests.

AI drones used in Gaza are now surveilling American cities…

And corporate media isn’t covering it.

Why MAGA Wants You to Think Slavery Wasn’t That Bad Both the left and the right try to co-opt it, but the real story of American slavery doesn’t serve any one faction. By Thomas Chatterton Williams

Sanitizing slavery has become a core objective of the reactionary right under Donald Trump—a malignant response to the progressive left’s oversimplification of American history for their own present-day ends.

ICE Boosts Income at Private Prison Company GEO Group by 800 Percent - The American Prospect The company’s year-end earnings call came just days after a lawsuit alleges guards in the company’s Washington state immigrant prison assaulted immigrants.

ICE contracts increased private prison company GEO Group's revenues by 800% in 2025, according to an earnings call attended by @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social. But none of that money seems to be going to oversight amid a spate of sexual abuse & physical assault complaints against GEO Group guards.

The Trump Admin Arrested an Antifascist for Shit-Talking a Fascist A supposed ‘antifa domestic terrorist’ was arrested for ‘cyberstalking’ a controversial right-wing agitator who showed up at a reporter’s home to threaten him.

NEW: The Trump admin publicized the arrest of an "antifa domestic terrorist," implying he was charged with threatening federal agents. But the criminal complaint suggests Kyle Wagner was charged with Instagram beefing with controversial rightwing agitator Jayden Scott.

Most people understand that you can't motivate a child to do better by reminding them of every single bad thing they've ever done and telling them they've been stupid and worthless their whole lives

Why do so many people use that same approach with the nation and expect different results?

‘A profound sense of being hunted’: with all eyes on Minneapolis, ICE arrests continue quietly across the US Immigration operations are still stoking fear and disrupting the ability to go to work, school or doctor’s appointments

Grateful to The Guardian for asking local reporters to contribute to stories like this.

With all eyes on Minneapolis, cities across the US, including in Oregon, are still feeling the impacts of Trump’s cruel deportation machine.

“We can’t simply make them all fearful to engage.”

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

There seems to be a not insignificant number of people in the Epstein Files who hold prominent positions at colleges.

Yet, there’s no uproar over what these elites are teaching students. Or how many of them overlook sexual assault on their own campuses.
