“Beyond abortion, Proposition 1 would enshrine rights to contraception and fertility treatment. Organizers view it as a chance to rebuild Idaho’s healthcare system, and, more expansively, as a referendum on the state’s hard-right swing of the past decade.”

Abortion rights activists in Idaho find their pitch: Bring back the doctors
Organizers of a referendum to repeal an abortion ban in deep-red Idaho are far more focused on how the ban has broadly affected healthcare in the state.

Andrew Ferguson makes an important point. Judge Hill's ruling is another step along the path of judges considering how Flock functions as a system. @profferguson.bsky.social "said the case was notable in that it treated the technology as a 'tracking system' rather than just a 'fancy camera.'”
Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, a law professor at George Washington University Law School, said the case was notable in that it treated the technology as a “tracking system” rather than just a “fancy camera.”

“At the heart of the court’s ruling is that arbitrary searching of people’s travel histories violates a reasonable expectation of privacy and requires some judicial oversight,” he said.

Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.
