“Free” Surveillance Tech Still Comes at a High and Dangerous Cost Surveillance technology vendors, federal agencies, and wealthy private donors have long helped provide local law enforcement “free” access to surveillance equipment that bypasses local oversight. The

From Flock cameras to fusion centers, “free” surveillance equipment funded by tech vendors, federal grants, and private donors locks cities into recurring costs and long-term data‑sharing, including with ICE. The end result is an erosion of our civil liberties. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Is there a way for this list to be improved upon...like sorted or tagged by state, year, level of government (e.g. "federal", "state", "county", "municipal"), if they based their campaigns on anti-LGBTQIA and "finding perverts" (#NotADragQueen). It would help a lot.

Jason Yates is #1355 on this list

You should have seen how Bonespurs lit up when Merz said "we owe you" as if some gears started turning in his head to see if he could get the Germans to pay him (under the pretense of "us") monetarily.
I hope Merz reviews the tape and realizes "Oh Scheiße."

Well, obviously there are. Why do you think they show off their "plumber's crack"? 😆

Yesterday, Republicans passed a so-called “budget” resolution that would gut Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches.

Let me break down what that means for my people in TX-30:

Trump has perfected the art of Pareto Worsening, a change in allocation making at least one person worse off without making a single person better off.

Trade war, Medicaid cuts, science cuts, there are no winners here, only losers.

If you what a lot of people do and just accept the answers, or don't check for mistakes, it's not going to be any good. You just have a "homework machine".

The right way to use AI is to have a conversation with it. Bring your knowledge to the table.
The AI will make mistakes. If you know something that it doesn't know, share that knowledge. You'll learn something from it and it will learn something.
Collaborative answers are much better....

To be fair, I'd much rather use ChatGPT.
I've been using it responsibly to help me take care of a bucket list of things that I've wanted to do with my computer.
It's not perfect, but it's alright....

The #1 reason I don't use Microsoft Copilot:
"Microsoft is waiting on ChatGPT's new features so they can add their own spin to Copilot"

Photos comparing Elon Musk's infamous fascist salute with other historical fascist leaders: Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, Adolf Hitler. The "Duck Test" confirms the nature of Musk's gesture: “If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck”

No apologies from Elon Musk - he gaslighted the world today posting on X: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired."

It's not just about Adolf Hitler - the salute was used by other historical fascist leaders, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco.

They're just now realizing this?

Maybe Evangelicals should worship something else.

Satanism would suit them, but even the Church of Satan has standards.

NO, THEY CANT!

Important stuff here. Lots to think about and discuss. Lots to do. We have our work cut out for us and we need all hands on deck.

We have to stop reacting and start working like a team.

We need leaders who get on the app and organize instead of just popping in to post cliches and run away.

Don’t give them an inch. Nothing.

Oppose the Trump agenda.

“Helluva Boss” is a show about rising above what a powerful world tries to tell you you are and finding love n’ family despite everything you have been through. I’m saying that today because I feel it strongly today. That’s what it is, that’s what we want it to be. A story we care about telling. ❤️

15 YEARS OF CITIZENS UNITED

This was the beginning of the end!

Billionaires who bankrolled Trump’s campaign are now set to reap massive rewards, while WE foot the bill.
