between Elon Musk's total control of Tesla and his deep passion for white supremacy, shouldn't the baseline assumption be that ICE/CBP is being given carte blanche access to any and all Tesla camera data?

Waymo hearing at SFBOS on Mon 3/2 (thank you, Supervisor @bilalmahmood.bsky.social!)
In December there was a major blackout in San Francisco caused by a fire at a PG&E substation, while autonomous vehicles stalled traffic and disrupted emergency vehicle response.
This month we will begin a series of hearings to investigate what happened, and hold these companies accountable.

And here we go, Waymo's blog post on this asserts how a human driver would have done "in this same situation" where by "same" they mean driving 17 mph when a lower speed may have been more appropriate and definitely safer.

This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we have heavy obligations to survivors — and to the memories of 6 million Jews & millions of others murdered by Nazi hate.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

💔Alex Pretti, RN - was an ICU nurse at the VA, a US citizen, a federal government worker, a caring patriot who was trying to shield a woman from getting assaulted by ICE.
Video shows he never brandished his (legal) firearm. He was pepper sprayed, beaten by> 5 men to the ground, & shot.
EXECUTED!

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Murdering protestors is what dictators do. Trump threatened to bomb Iran for it — while he and his ICE brownshirts are doing it right here.
ICE must leave Minnesota now. Congress must stop funding them. And the perpetrators of these crimes must be held accountable.

Republicans could end this it any time and I think every single Republican member of Congress should be asked daily why they continue to allow this. They are cowards who want to destroy our country and should have to carry that shame.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
