whenever you feel like you’re too small to change anything know that citizens from small towns and cities that speak up against flock and axon cameras in their communities (and sometimes get arrested for it) are fighting and sometimes succeeding against this

For those poo-pooing Talarico's use of Biblical terms, give me a fuck'n break! 1-This is who he is. It isn't an act like Oxford-educated Senator Foghorn Leghorn's accent. 2-Campaigns are abt striking a clear contrast btw you & your opponent. Contrasting Paxton to Biblical terms is a no-brainer!

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Given that Netanyahu has already threatened Naza's directors, the film deserves loud and full-throated support and I hope the U.S. film community steps up for it. Hopefully he's just Streisand-effected the movie into getting the large audience that it absolutely merits.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Why won’t the U.S. ratify the U.N.’s child rights treaty?
The non-ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is hypocritical.

The Troubles in NI arose at least partly because people saw that protests against injustice were not working. In this respect, state-sanctioned unwelcome sectarian marches into a neighborhood is a reminder about which communities have been empowered to impose their values over others.

The idea that people want AI oversight to happen "all of a sudden" ignores years of research, warnings, and policy efforts. The delay hasn’t been a lack of awareness; it’s been because of years of industry lobbying against regulation, political resistance, and inaction.
