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

Is there a way for this list to be improved upon...like sorted or tagged by state, year, level of government (e.g. "federal", "state", "county", "municipal"), if they based their campaigns on anti-LGBTQIA and "finding perverts" (#NotADragQueen). It would help a lot.

You should have seen how Bonespurs lit up when Merz said "we owe you" as if some gears started turning in his head to see if he could get the Germans to pay him (under the pretense of "us") monetarily. I hope Merz reviews the tape and realizes "Oh Scheiße."

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.

The right way to use AI is to have a conversation with it. Bring your knowledge to the table. The AI will make mistakes. If you know something that it doesn't know, share that knowledge. You'll learn something from it and it will learn something. Collaborative answers are much better....

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.

Important stuff here. Lots to think about and discuss. Lots to do. We have our work cut out for us and we need all hands on deck. We have to stop reacting and start working like a team. We need leaders who get on the app and organize instead of just popping in to post cliches and run away.

A man who did not use Christianity as a kugel of hate, but as it was intended: service to others, duty to his country, peace between rivals, love towards everyone. A man who would spend much of his golden years with his wife building homes for others. This is the spirit we lost. Can we get it back?

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
