Everyone in this video at minimum needs to be fired and lose their pension.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

This data consolidation is in flagrant violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, and the way ICE is using it for political and racial repression is the nightmare scenario of the people who drafted that law 5 decades ago.

As someone in the T1D family this hits hard (as does so much of all of ICE depravity). This cannot recur.

1000000 percent. Breathtaking.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

Powerful testimony by @ariezra.bsky.social before the California state assembly about surveillance capitalism’s impact on marginalized communities especially queer kids. @cybercivilrights.bsky.social

The technology of surveillance is … like it says, the technology of surveillance. When governments can pay to tap into corporate webs of surveillance, what results differs little from a surveillance network under direct government control.

NYC Council pushes to ban stores from collecting biometric data Stores like Macy's and Wegmans use facial recognition software to track customers in New York City.

“New York City already requires businesses to post signs notifying customers when they collect biometric data, but the proposed legislation would make it against the rules entirely.”

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Bright spot seeing CCRI President @maryannefranks.bsky.social honored with the NAACP Digital Civil Rights Award!

Heads up, folks. You have calls to make!

At some point we have to face the sad truth that this array of Administration miscreants are living their HS fantasies. Under what other circumstances would a group of athletes welcome this guy into a locker room celebration?

They all just wanted in on it.

Add this to research that suggests that as Musk took over Twitter (but before Twitter became X), the algorithm there was serving up content that leaned markedly to the right, even for users whose networks leaned left. www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.06129

Some cities are ditching license plate readers over immigration surveillance concerns Cities around the country are debating whether to keep their automatic license plate readers. Concerns about privacy and federal immigration agents can access local data are driving these debates.

Another example of why I hate so much the folks who tell us this stuff is inevitable.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Often when communities see the stakes, they reject ubiquitous surveillance.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Lifting up the life of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson. Hard to lay out the range of his work and contributions and how much he inspired. They are leaving us one by one, exhorting us to pick up the mantle with courage & determination. Justice work is a lifelong commitment. Thank you Rev. Jackson.
