1/2 Last week, the #EugeneOR City Council unanimously voted to turn off the city's Flock cameras temporarily while they research.
Then, EPD Chief Skinner announced the arrest of seven people in relation to burglaries targeting the Asian community, citing Flock as key in their investigation.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago.
Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor.
Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

All I can think about today is how one of the first articles I wrote for @lcrw.bsky.social was after me and my colleagues at Double Sided Media were forced to flee a Turning Point USA event after being threatened and then circled by the Proud Boys who has been invited to the event as "security."

Nothing could be more naïve than to imagine that Donald Trump's effort to put the military on the streets of US cities has anything to do with "fighting crime." He himself is very clear: this is an act of war against the part of the population that does not support his autocracy.

“How long will the world continue to ignore what is happening here? How long will we keep screaming into the void, counting the names of our martyred colleagues?” As journalists, we grieve alongside Shaimaa Eid & her call to honor the 270+ companions of truth who were targeted & killed by Israel.
Farewell to Anas, Mohammed, and the companions of truth
In Gaza, the journalist has become a direct target. Carrying a camera here is like wearing a mark on your forehead that reads, “Kill me”

I understand these guys were contractors, but firefighters have powerful unions and it would be nice if they’d show up for these folks. Fwiw firefighters from all over the world, and especially Mx, have fought fires in the U.S. for as long as I I’ve been here. Mx sent people to LA, for example.
