Georgia police chief charged with using license plate readers to stalk and harass people A police chief in suburban Atlanta has been arrested on charges of using the city's license plate cameras to stalk and harass people.

Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

They’ll use this as the way to restrict gun rights of any undesirable.

Texas deputy searched Spokane County Flock cameras for a woman who had an abortion– RANGE Media Amidst nationwide and state scrutiny of the cameras, Spokane County’s Flock network was used by an out-of-state cop looking for a woman who had an abortion.

In October, statewide news reported that a sheriff's deputy in Texas searched thousands of Flock cameras in Washington for 'Had an abortion, search for female.’ New documents obtained by RANGE show Spokane County Sheriff's Office cameras were accessed in that search:

This is caused by adults not maintaining their pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines.

You should be getting a Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine every 10 years.

We have a baby coming in the family (my first grand nephew!), so my husband and I both got vaccinated this week.

ICE Offers Up to $280 Million to Immigrant-Tracking β€˜Bounty Hunter’ Firms Immigration and Customs Enforcement lifted a $180 million cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program while guaranteeing multimillion-dollar payouts for private surveillance firms.

NEW: ICE had initially planned a limited pilot program to hire bounty hunters and private investigators for immigrant tracking.

The agency has now scrapped that plan and is going all-in, removing the program’s spending cap and offering up to $280M to any given contractor.

This is called β€œchain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

If this doesn't make you smile and laugh (and maybe even tear up a bit), well, not sure why we're connected online at all.

Who at the BBC is relying on Trump or his associates to keep the network going? American laws and federal money impact things like media mergers so our cowards are billionaires who need more billions but BBC is a whole ass ocean away with different laws and leaders.

The levels of nepotism and narcissism this country is currently afflicted with results in disasters like Nuzzi. She either really believed none of this would be revealed, showing her level of entitlement, or she didn’t think it would matter, showing her utter lack of journalistic credibility.

The exit economy is here. Black Women are paying the highest price | Fortune This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
