Leaked Email Suggests Ring Plans to Expand ‘Search Party’ Surveillance Beyond Dogs Ring's CEO told staff the feature is “first for finding dogs,” indicating a plan to expand.

In case it wasn't clear, we are the dogs. And we're not lost.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Unlike, say, data analytics giant Palantir, Ring is a surveillance network that homeowners have by and large deployed themselves, powered by fear mongering against our neighbors and unfettered consumerism.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

In recent months, Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from DHS. This explosion is because they want to punish people for resisting their violent, discriminatory deportation campaign.

CIS Affiliate @granick.bsky.social reviews Orin Kerr's "The Digital Fourth Amendment," agreeing with his "equilibrium-adjustment" theory but criticizing his cautious approach to tech surveillance & his 1920s baseline that ignores racism in policing harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

I'm delighted that the Harvard Law Review has published a book review of "The Digital Fourth Amendment." The review, by @granick.bsky.social, is here.

The email that launched a 99-day DHS investigation.

The investigation is over — but not the concerns it raises.

ICE is afraid of children protesting “Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Homeland Security is targeting Americans with this secretive legal weapon Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has weaponized administrative subpoenas to attack free speech, according to privacy and civil rights groups.

Homeland Security is targeting Americans who criticize it with unfounded investigations fueled by judicially-unsupervised administrative subpoenas.

This article tells the story of our client who was so targeted.

Yeah, I'm demoralized too, K.

If a foreign country bombed us (killing noone-is-reporting-how-many Americans) and loaded Trump onto an airplane for a foreign prison, would we call it "regime change" or an invasion? Would we say Trump was "captured", or abducted?

News needs to use the right words, not euphemisms.

As a New College alum, I also noticed the article does not mention DeSantis' vow to remake my alma mater into a "Hillsdale of the South"-- a private Christian school that doesn't take federal funding so that it doesn't have to comply with civil rights laws. I very much appreciate your analysis.

I give in honor of our dog Loki. She was an amazing dog, and we were lucky enough to be able to afford to take care of all her needs. She died at a ripe old age, and every animal deserves the same care.

I gave money to San Francisco Aid for Animals, a nonprofit that helps pay for medical care for animals whose families cannot afford the treatment. There are few greater joys in life than the love between a pet and an owner, and money shouldn't be allowed to come between them.

My father grew up very poor. They didn't always know where the next meal was coming from. When he would see a woman begging on the street, he would swing the car around to give her money, and say, "she reminds me of my mother". So I gave in memory of his mother, my grandmother, Leah Wiseman.

San Francisco-Marin Food Bank - Every $1 Donated Provides 2 Meals‎ 1 in 5 residents in San Francisco and Marin needs food assistance. Every $1 Donated Provides 2 Meals. Help provide #FoodForAll

I gave money to the SF-Marin food bank. Food insecurity is real, especially when kids aren't in school, where estimates are that almost 20% of all kids rely on free lunch for their nutrition. With cuts to SNAP programs, families don't know if they are going to have enough to eat. It's immoral.

Thank you for the support! I've got my confirmation hearings locked in.
