Schlock Horror

Sydney police grabbed a woman from behind, yanked her scarf, strangled her, and dragged her to the ground during protests in Sydney, Australia.

This adorable baby's life is in danger because she's being held in a Concentration Camp, exposed to disease, and not being given medication. They just returned her to to imprisonment from the hospital. A BABY.

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵:

-The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices....

Icing on the cake is that hyper-pro police surveillance founder Jamie Siminoff, who recently returned to the CEO roll and dismantled years of privacy reforms appeared in the commercial.

A perfect post

Our government crossed a line by inviting a war criminal - they can’t uncross it.

The glove handshake. Often known as the politicians, handshake . BL perceived as insincere, manipulative, or an attempt to dominate. In context, I would consider this an attempt of #Herzog to dominate. Attempt ? Too late. Expression on Penny Wong‘s face is a genuine smile.🤢 So disappointing.

Legal observers say police are preventing protesters from joining the rally, threatening people on the outside of police barriers with move-on orders.

Sydney anti-Herzog rally

Policewoman aims spray at crowd, causing people to retreat

Looks like a cop is pepper-spraying the crowd in Sydney.

ABC reporting that police are trying to get the crowd to disperse.

I asked about how police treat First Nations (and Palestine) rallies as threats to control, not communities to protect. We saw the dangerous result of this in Boorloo.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner confirms she is speaking to police about this.

In NSW, animal welfare is overseen by the same government department that promotes animal use industries. This is a direct conflict of interest. It guarantees weak enforcement and ongoing cruelty.

🚨🇸🇩 SUDAN | “We have three more months to avoid an epic biblical famine before the rainy season comes and the roads will be impossible in this part of Sudan.” That’s the warning from Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, after returning from a visit to South Kordofan. He says cities like Kadugli are already facing famine, with women and children fleeing drone attacks, burned homes, and total aid blockades. Despite new donor pledges this week, the aid has not reached the ground. Egeland says without an immediate give surge in food, access, and funding, mass starvation is imminent. He stresses the “countdown to famine” is on, “but it’s not too late” to help. @NRC_Egeland | @NRC_Norway | @nickschifrin

Despite abortion being legal on request up to 12 weeks in Nepal, women are sometimes interrogated and arrested. Even when courts later exonerate them, the damage is done. Arresting women also contradicts Nepal’s international obligations under CEDAW.

Months after telling the American people that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency had no access to Americans’ sensitive Social Security data, the Trump administration has finally admitted in court that DOGE illegally accessed and agreed to share that data.
