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!

Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, delivered the most severe criticism of Donald Trump we’ve witnessed so far regarding Greenland. It’s quite remarkable.

You’re absolutely correct. Anyone that could sit next to an awful smelling man day in and day out in that trial has something wrong with him.
Todd Blanche was never a "good" guy. Any perceptions of "When I knew him...he was a decent guy," were formed as the result of a suppression of his true drives, values, and motives.

This is why these cowards cover their faces.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Melania threatened to sue (Wolff) for “$1 Bn” in an effort to stop me from talking about her relationship with Epstein. But before she could sue me, I sued her in New York which has statutes proscribing the use of frivolous lawsuits for the specific purpose of interfering with legitimate speech.”
For more than ten weeks, the first lady of the United States has ignored—or perhaps just hoped it would go away—my lawsuit against her. But now she is out in the open, having to confront and deal with it. Inevitability has found her.
