this couldn't be a more clear, textbook, beat-by-beat example of how women who've been stalked are talked to and treated by police, versus how their harassers are treated and spoken to by cops. add to that: her stalker WAS THE POLICE www.404media.co/i-saw-a-shin...

Next time, please just spare us the campaign speeches only to bow down to the downtown business interests, yet again. It's pathetic.

Glad local media is covering surveillance more as it gains attention. For years, coverage has largely been "activists are concerned about privacy" without much deep research/reporting or conversations with local organizers who had to become experts. Always grateful to Ed for sharing his expertise!

You've heard of the technology that detects your phone, accessories, vehicle by their wireless signatures, SignalTrace? I found it deployed in Oxon Hill, Maryland, likely the first deployment in the US. Here's my in depth analysis of the SignalTrace product: www.ryanohoro.com/post/thinkin...

Thinking Critically About SignalTrace
SignalTrace advertises sophisticated technology, but is likely haphazardly implemented for its stated purpose. A deep look into a surveillance technology no one really knows much about.

out of touch whackjob reporting for duty 🫡 in all seriousness, if you're an elected official who is still pro-surveillance, you've already lost your next election. And I'll be right there to make sure it happens. Your political ideology or stance on anything else doesn't matter-the people are DONE.

I can't imagine telling a patient's family any good news when their loved one is dead. It's all bad news. Every pedestrian death should lead to an investigation into the root cause and then improvement in the infrastructure to prevent more deaths.

This is wildly inappropriate when these measures are still YEARS out, and we have twice as many pedestrian deaths YTD compared to 2025. Good news? Currently, it’s just “good luck.”

I am a huge supporter of the zoo and signed the petition opposing the data center there. I hope it never gets built. But using eminent domain to achieve that outcome under the *obviously false pretense* that we suddenly need that property is horrible judgment.

this is campaign season theater. Freddie is currently trying to water down BL2026-1391 and doesn't even mention it in his EO. fuck a moratorium when we already have legislation moving through council. the only thing we'll accept from any politicians is strengthening & supporting restrictions.

in this house, we believe:
Data Centers are bad
we should fund social housing
Civicity isn't better than Solaren because they're a division of block by block who's the subcontractor for the NDP that blew up the library
Vision Zero is not a slush fund
MNPD shouldn't have drones
Tom Turner should take a pay cut

the same people who are always more concerned about homeless pets than homeless humans are the same people who are more concerned about the animals at the zoo than the people who live in just as close proximity to the proposed data center. we all care about animals, does your care extend to humans?

Even the NDP lobbyist was shocked to see a CM care so much (about a procedural vote that will soon pass) to nearly come to blows on the council floor. Unhinged behavior Huffman keeps saying we're "one incident away" to push more police & surveillance tech and I'm wondering if he's the one incident.

Just like the first year+ use of Fusus, the drone as first responder trial is an illegal implementation of surveillance tech that directly violates the 2017 surveillance statute that Dave Rosenberg (now in the mayor's office) authored. These people are absolute snakes who should never be trusted.

Important thread from Steven on yet another horrific state murder that will almost certainly be carried out tomorrow, despite everything laid out below. If you'd like to join us for the vigil for Tony Carruthers at Riverbend tomorrow morning, make sure you're on the property before 9:30a.

the local police foundation that says they are not a police foundation & are in fact, an "independent nonprofit" (started by Pat Shea, known to be close friends with Chief Drake) commissioned a report (by former Cooper staffer 😂) on our successes fighting surveillance tech. Copaganda never sleeps!

“They approved the single largest publicly funded, privately owned sports stadium in human history, which the NFL wants to reward so other cities do it next” is the actual answer.
Screenshot of a Nashville Tennessean article headlined “How did Nashville get Super Bowl in 2030? Inside the decades-long momentum,” by Molly Davis and Nick Suss, published May 19, 2026. Below the headline is a video thumbnail showing the Nashville skyline along the Cumberland River, with a riverboat docked in the foreground and the AT&T Building visible among downtown high-rises. A “Key Points” section beneath notes that Nashville is the host city for Super Bowl LXIV in February 2030 and that the city’s tourism leaders have worked for decades to prime Nashville for major events like the Super Bowl.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Another example of exactly what we all said was being done and would continue to be done using LPRs. They're functioning & being used as designed. Any politician who attempts to or votes to implement LPRs in 2026 is complicit in stalking, harassment and kidnapping of our neighbors.

Surveillance is a one-way ratchet toward authoritarianism. Yes, even by private companies. Even when people “consent.” Even when the company gives you “free” stuff, or let you stand in a shorter line, or make your life more convenient somehow.

Join us on Monday to celebrate the reopening of the Downtown Library & place some benches! These will be just a fraction needed to replace all of the benches the city has removed downtown over the years, most recently on KVB. Our bench movement builds upon the work of those before us 🙏🏼💪🏼❤️

We're about to see a big license plate reader push via MNPD budget request & everyone better get on board with fighting it. We're one of the last major cities in the country to have held off mass implementation of LPRs. If you give a shit about yourself, your kids & other people, you'll fight this.
