From Flock cameras to fusion centers, “free” surveillance equipment funded by tech vendors, federal grants, and private donors locks cities into recurring costs and long-term data‑sharing, including with ICE. The end result is an erosion of our civil liberties. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

“Free” Surveillance Tech Still Comes at a High and Dangerous Cost
Surveillance technology vendors, federal agencies, and wealthy private donors have long helped provide local law enforcement “free” access to surveillance equipment that bypasses local oversight. The

Trump has perfected the art of Pareto Worsening, a change in allocation making at least one person worse off without making a single person better off. Trade war, Medicaid cuts, science cuts, there are no winners here, only losers.

No apologies from Elon Musk - he gaslighted the world today posting on X: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired." It's not just about Adolf Hitler - the salute was used by other historical fascist leaders, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco.

Noguchi’s Butterflies

I can not walk
I can not see
further than what
is in front of me
I lay on my back
yet I do not cry
transported in space
by the butterflies.

Above my bed
another sky
with the wings you sent
within my sight 
all pain dissolves
In another light.
Transported thru
Time
by the butterfly.

This little song came to me,
Like a little gift as I stood 
beside the bed of Frida.
I give it you
with much
love. 

-Patti Smith
