Title: Ring cameras feed data to ICE to help round up immigrants Subtitle: β¨ Get a full refund direct from Amazon β¨ Body: In the past few months Amazon Ring enabled AI and facial detection by default for all users. Worse, they altered existing features such that your footage can end up in the hands of Flock Safety, the company responsible for 80,000 license plate readers across the country. ICE has been documented using Flock to know exactly where to go to find susceptible community members. Donβt help ICE round up your neighbors. What can I do? You can get a full refund directly from Amazon. Request a refund telling them their agreement with Flock is a breach of trust and invalidates the reason you invested into their security products in the first place. Amazon refunds because what they are doing is blatantly against the Terms and Conditions under which you originally purchased. β‘οΈ Reolink or Defender PhoenixM2 are great comparable camera alternatives. β Request refunds for Amazon Blink Cameras as well on basis of lost trust.
If you saw the creepy Ring Super Bowl commercial then you know they're manufacturing consent for a surveillance state (that serves ICE) by emotionally blackmailing us with our dogs' safety.
This flyer can be printed out and posted all over, or shared online. Get your $ back, fuck ICE.

Capricorn: Today you will realize that though a filibuster is an excellent political tactic, sometimes grabbing your political opponents by the balls and squeezing until they pop like water balloons can be more effective.

$1.5 trillion could fund Medicaid, the child tax credit, SNAP, the Department of Education, national highway repair, the NIH, school breakfast & lunch, FEMA, the FAA, the EPA, and federal overdose prevention COMBINED.
War costs us a better world.

A group of six nature valentines. A picture of a bog with pitcher plants, with text saying "Our love is like a bog. Built up over time, resistant to decay, deeply interesting to just a small number of people." A yellow slime mold stretching out and exploring. "Our love is like a slime mold. Collaborative, complex, at times unnerving to behold." A piece of limestone with a small trilobite in the corner. "Our love is like limestone. Layered, useful for many purposes, shaped by the friends we met along the way." A ring-billed gull with a french fry on a beach. "Our love is like a ring-billed gull. Abundant, found in North America, sometimes sustained by french fries." An Atlantic horseshoe crab walking on the sand. "Our love is like a horseshoe crab. Tough, timeless, unrelated to true crabs." A drawing of the phosphorus cycle, with arrows connecting various parts of a scene, including algae and fish and a farm and a river and a forest. "Our love is like the phosphorus cycle. Important, really hard to draw."

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back.
