The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Everyone on tiktok has the chance to do the funniest thing ever right now (get off tiktok)
There are a lot of straws on this camelβs back, and Ellison has added one more in the form of TikTokβs US operations (which bleed billions of dollars a year) and with the direction of the algorithm, the idea of a user exodus isnβt unthinkable.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing theyβre doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isnβt white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"βThey specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.β Lugert-Thom responded, βI donβt know anything about thatβ & she said they then asked, βWell, what about the Asian families?β"
"βI was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.β"

"more training will solve this" is easily debunked by the fact that the killer was a trainer at ICE. It's a barrel of bad apples that exists to produce bad apples and the solution is you woodchip the barrel and compost the apples and try something else.
