ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

A $10 million Medicaid settlement was quietly sent to the Hope Florida Foundation — a charity led by Casey DeSantis meant to help Floridians. But instead it was funneled into the coffers of a political com. to fight last year’s marijuana legalization effort.

Everyone pushing for more government controlled public cameras because they would rather trade all privacy and give the government stalker power in exchange for the illusion of safety should really, really take a second look at those beliefs.

Something I hadn't thought about until just now but seems like common sense after Asha said it: we definitely need immediate new laws about how agencies create and share videos after this administration full of 10 year old boys is done trying to meme us into authoritarianism

Asha Rangappa @asharangappa.bsky.social · 10h

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

Weird how that didn’t make the cut.

Simple principle: if it would be a war crime when done to enemy soldiers, then it shouldn’t be done to civilians by the US government

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
