as cities debate Automated License Plate Readers, we often hear the same reassurances: don’t worry, we’ll regulate them/set strict rules/never share data with ICE/we'll only use them for speeding/etc. political promises may feel comforting but it misses that the INFRASTRUCTURE itself is the danger.

Hannah is so smart and righteous, and I get smarter by reading the things she writes! You might like doing that too!
every crisis we talk about nationally - policing, housing, public health, environmental harm - shows up first at the local level, and the only reason the public ever learns about many of these issues is because a local journalist put in the hours. it is an actual survival tool for all of us.

the GOP is realllllly trying to convince Americans that crime is skyrocketing but I think maybe the twist in 2025 is that attention is too scattered to build a true national crime panic the way we used to?? you can't terrify the entire country at once when everyone lives in a different algorithm

It's just past 6pm ET and Florida is set to kill 63-year-old Malik Abdul-Sajjad, also known as Richard Barry Randolph. It will be the 17th execution carried out in FL this year. Two more are scheduled for December.
I wrote about the man Florida plans to kill tonight and how the death penalty impacts people in ways we might never imagine.
At 17, She Gave Up Her Son. Sixty Years Later, She Found Him on Death Row.
Richard Randolph, now Malik Abdul-Sajjad, is scheduled to die tonight. His biological mother will never get a chance to meet him.

if you’re accepting the premise that Homeland Security was created to “keep Americans safe” and the way Trump is using it is somehow an aberration from the original purpose you need to read some more history 😕

flock cameras are in nearly every city in the country now and Atlanta police were using them for immigration searches. this is the model -- once the surveillance grid exists it can be turned on anyone

when basic every day “governance” depends on cops and jails and raids the public gets used to state coercion and violence and then nakedly authoritarian moves feel just a *little* worse but not much of a departure (bad!)

thread: atlanta-area journalist Mario Guevara was arrested June 14 while livestreaming a protest. one of the charges? “pedestrian in the roadway” -- he stepped off a curb as police cleared the street. it’s on his livestream. he was wearing a press vest, and identified himself as media.

can't stop thinking about what Daniel Kwan said about AI: the most dangerous thing is how quickly it's dissolving our shared reality. EVERY part of society is built on shared reality, on agreeing on "what happened," and i fear we won’t realize how fundamental it was until it’s gone.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

this is a critical time for media analysis. if you report at face value the (false) premise that the federal government occupying cities is in any way an attempt to fight "crime," what you write becomes stenography for an authoritarian power-building project, intentionally or not
