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!

This is why you shouldn’t ignore a jury summons. Because you can be like ‘lol’ and acquit someone in a half hour
A man who was charged with a felony for allegedly shining a laser pointer at Trump's helicopter was acquitted in 35 minutes
Man Charged With Shining Laser Pointer At Trump’s Helicopter Acquitted In 35 Minutes
It's another embarrassing outcome for Jeanine Pirro, who tried to "make a felon out of a homeless man with nothing but a cat toy keychain."

If you are following the news coverage of ICE and have a funny feeling about it, read my book Copaganda. It will change things for you. All royalties are donated to charity that fights surveillance and state violence, and we have free copies for anyone in prison and any students who can't afford it.

Regarding the two people that CBP shot in Portland, Oregon on Thursday:
The man driving the vehicle is currently in FBI custody after being treated for gunshot wounds to the arm and abdomen. The woman in the car with him who was shot in the chest has already been transported to the ICE detention

Border Patrol has shot two people in Oregon close to Portland. The shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue. The two who were shot allegedly drove to this location for further help and are now en route or at hospital. Their condition is unknown.

Strongly recommend reading this book without learning a thing about it beforehand. don’t even read the back
Embarked on Le Guin’s ’The Lathe of Heaven‘, which will happily see me into the New Year.
Beyond knowing it touches on territory usually associated with Philip K. Dick, I’m coming to this with very fresh eyes.
And by Chapter 2 things are taking very strange turns…
Suffice to say that I’m hooked 🙂

Can't stress this enough - don't ask or look into what it's about. I purposefully avoided any talk and really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. So much so that it kept me from canceling Apple now that Slow Horses season is done.
Watch Pluribus on Apple TV. From Vince Gilligan, starring Rhea Seehorn. No, I can’t tell you what it’s about. No, you shouldn’t try to find out. Just trust me. You trust me, right? Go in blind. (Also ignore the stupid ad campaign.)
The only bad part so far is they’ve only released two episodes.

there’s a group of gamergater types cheering about the acquisition of EA by jared kushner and saudi arabia which is crazy because there’s a 100% chance everything they touch gets even worse and the company self destruct. gamers falling for it again award

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced
This appears to be the full video of the Chicago delivery worker. It actually appears that an agent tries to assault him after he curses the Dear Leader Kim il Trump to their faces.

I had a judge presiding over one of my cases ask me if I had been a defendant in one of his cases because he recognized me. I was like nope. I'm counsel. I was dressed impeccably in a vintage Calvin Klein suit that I'd paid way too much money for. It happened in 2005ish and I still think about it.

hey I know the spelling bee is fun but it’s keeping this kinda shit afloat so maybe time to divest
Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?
