Opinion | Ring is using lost dogs to make the surveillance state adorable The same technology the Amazon-owned company uses to find lost dogs could easily be turned against their owners.

β€œNo matter how Ring and other surveillance tech companies may downplay it, there’s no world in which finding lost dogs is the final end-use for this technology.”

A federal court just upheld California’s law REQUIRING federal agents to identify themselves.

California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy.

If reading these letters doesn’t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you would’ve been on the wrong side in WWII.

even if i had absolutely no knowledge of elon musk or his history, i would have a lot of questions about someone who claimed they were going to build settlements on the moon within a decade, like, β€œwhat experience do you have in doing this on earth?”

I’ve never seen a commercial destroy a company’s reputation before.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓ­nos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Dear Olympics fans: Please know that brutally booing JD Vance at every opportunity IS EXACTLY the way to show respect for Americansβ€”especially those currently fighting fascism in the streets.

Was the post that was made from Trump’s account promising to β€œrescue” protesters in Iran before they will killed posted by a staffer?

Were the tariff threats that moved markets?

Threats to members of Congress and media?

How do we know if any posts are from the President?

Day after day, they walk out anyway. Teenagers choosing conscience over comfort, courage over fear. They keep showing up to protest ICE, cages, and inhumanity. In surprising places like Oklahoma, young people persist.

History moves because they refuse silence.
Never give up on young people.

At this point there can be no denying that anyone who continues to support Trump, for whatever reason, is first and foremost a racist. No excuses.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.
