Logistically, martial law is more dangerous for the administration than the people.

Dont forget that Flock and similar tech is being applied in parking lots and grocery stores. Companies are employing surveillance tech alongside the police. Dont forget our for-profit prison systems are in need of more inmates to make their shareholders money. Dont forget, we are talking about you.
Companies like Flock Safety “want police to collect as much information on everyone as possible because they make money off that,” EFF’s Dave Maass told New Mexico’s @KOB4. “We continually find people abusing the data.” www.kob.com/new-mexico/...

If you're going to post your political opinions then you should be open to those testing your world views mettle by opening up your replies to the market of ideas. Otherwise the only thing you've developed is a glass house, an echo chamber, a hugbox of narrative that breaks at the slightest tap.

Starting to see sentiment turn rational, and centrist turn leftist in a single day. Turns out tragedy can demand change that is impossible to ignore, and suddenly, your worldview is governed by morality and empathy. Not selfishness and greed. ICE woke so many people up with their actions.

For the people who are so concerned about the electoral process, a good place to start would be systemically purging tech fascist-aligned and collaborator politicians in your party out.

It will leave open TONS of slots for new politicians. You're gonna have to wipe half the party fr fr

“There’s this veneer of respect for privacy that is painted over all of this data aggregation and consolidation,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @TexasObserver. www.texasobserver.org/texas-polic...
Texas Police Invested Millions in a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software. They Won’t Say How They’ve Used It.
One sheriff who leads an anti-smuggling task force says the software helps “develop leads to eventually obtain probable cause.” Civil liberties experts say its use violates constitutional rights.

If we are lucky, they will never make it back. All jokes aside, throw billionaires in jail. I'm ready for the China treatment.

All native shareholder need to demand that their native corporations divest from not just ICE but any business that works for them like Akima. Demand it, Alaskans. Doyon, NANA, Calista, all of them.

This is what it takes to earn a centrists vote.
Yeah, a bunch of idiots managed to convince themselves she was as bad as Trump, and that’s why we’re here. My favorite? Maybe the billionaire minimum tax. Or the corporate tax increase. Or the inheritance tax. Or the Obamacare expansion, or the housing credits. Hope you weren’t waiting long

The only thing protecting our data at this point is some misconfigured firewall and GPOs. Granted that data was given up to Palantir long ago so the point is moot. We are going to end up with another virus that shuts down our electrical grid. Just wait.

I've been saying this for all of 2025.
The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

In the background public health is being brutalized just as much as our American citizens. Children are contracting debilitating diseases to which we already have the preventative measure for. Parents and grandparents continue to die at home in pain without access to care or end of life support.
On Friday, the South Carolina Department of Public Health said it’s confirmed 99 new cases of the disease since Tuesday, bringing the state’s total number of cases to 310.Another 200 people who’ve been exposed to the virus — the most contagious known on the planet — are in quarantine.

I actually love Black people too much to accept Kamala for us, she devoted her life to seeing as many of us behind bars as possible. But that's enough on her.

And while gig workers suffer, ICE has a budget that will allow them to abuse Americans for years.
ICE’s budget now rivals the militaries of nations around the world and that money is building an enormous domestic surveillance machine. Learn about the surveillance tactics they’re using and how you can protect yourself and your community. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
ICE Is Going on a Surveillance Shopping Spree
We need to have a hard look at the surveillance industry. It is a key enabler of vast and untold violations of human rights and civil liberties, and it continues to be used by aspiring autocrats to

ICE exists to terrorize the poor and marginalized. Door dashers can disappear in between or during deliveries as they are stalked by these extremist. Gig work, the last line of defense before complete poverty, is now under attack.

We need new labels like "manufactures consent " or "normalizes violence" added to these media outlets' posts. Then, anyone in support can be auto-labeled as various grades of bootlicker. Yes, shame should be a feature.

VL-JEPA is an improvement over typical VLMs where a continuous stream of embedding predictions in their latent space can be averaged and smoothed to monitor and extract semantic meaning from non-generative responses. This is likely a big deal for many reasons. Keep your eye on VL-JEPA.

Dems are going to lose the argument and look inept doing it by taking the "process" angle when the admin has actively ignored and abused it with impunity. Congress not having oversight is just weak toothless messaging from a party not inclined to fight too hard.
