The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

He always acts like this is all none of his business. Like he has no control over any of it.

This is the way. Fascist Barbie proved what contempt she has for her office when she “testified” before Congress.

The future of policing has arrived in South Florida. On Thursday, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office unveiled PUG, the first fully autonomous police vehicle in the United States, a bold experiment in merging artificial intelligence, surveillance, and law enforcement….

sfl.media/miami-unveil...

…The sleek white&blue cruiser, nicknamed PUG, is a self-driving patrol unit designed to monitor pre-set routes, record real-time video, &deter crime through an unblinking robotic presence. Officials say it’s not replacing human officers, at least not yet, but rather augmenting police capabilities & improving efficiency.

“This is about safety, innovation, & smarter policing,”…. “PUG gives us more eyes, faster response, and fewer risks for our officers.”

Built for Patrol, Powered by AI
PUG isn’t a Tesla on autopilot, it’s a purpose-built policing platform created through a partnership between the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the Florida International University Robotics Center, and Defend Robotics, a private defense technology firm.

The electric vehicle can:
• Navigate designated patrol zones autonomously using LIDAR, radar, and camera arrays.
• Record and stream 360-degree high-definition footage to command centers.
• Identify license plates, detect motion, and flag “anomalous activity.”
• Use onboard speakers to issue warnings or alerts to civilians.

The car’s name, PUG (Patrol Unit Guardian), symbolizes its dual purpose: persistent surveillance and protective presence. According to officials, PUG will first patrol public parking areas, government facilities, and transit hubs across Miami-Dade County.

Not Armed, But Always Watching
Sheriff Ramirez stressed that PUG is not equipped with weapons or enforcement tools. Instead, it functions as a mobile surveillance and communication hub, relaying live data to dispatchers and officers nearby.

“It’s a deterrent, not a replacement,” Ramirez clarified. “We’re not taking humans out of policing — we’re giving them another set of robotic hands & digital eyes.”

Still, privacy advocates have raised immediate concerns. Civil liberties groups, including the ACLU of Florida, warned that autonomous surveillance vehicles could expand warrantless monitoring and blur accountability lines in police encounters.…

It was really fukd up, Robyn. Many were put in the stockade on bullshyt charges to begin with.

My uncle was not imprisoned, but he told me stories of how Black soldiers were put on the frontline, only to be shot at from behind by racist white soldiers. 😡

All our government ever does is imprison people (especially people of color) no matter what the circumstances are. Imprisoning our own in the middle of that god forsaken war and then just leaving them there till they could figure out who deserved to be free. 🤬

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.

These “people” should never have another minute of peace when they choose to abuse people that “look or sound different” as a way to make a living. Now they’re running around in cars without tags and registration. Local law enforcement needs to stop every last one of them for traffic violations.

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

OK, Pete Hegseth’s an idiot. He left out the word “training” when he said we’re building a Qatari Air Force facility. So I get why people were confused after his announcement yesterday, but I keep seeing folks repeat some version of “Qatar is building an airbase in Idaho.”

That’s not happening.

Thanks for clarifying that, Chris. I was picturing them bringing their stuff here and it’s more come here launder your money and play with OUR toys. It does make more sense that way.

I haven’t watched MSM in years because of all this bullshit. I can’t imagine how bad it is especially now with all the need for state propaganda to tell us what we think and what we feel.
