The algorithm doesn't want you calm, informed, or connected. It wants you angry, addicted, and isolated. Because that's what lines the pockets of folks like Musk and Zuckerberg.

Flock "database queries are not searches within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment” and “no suspicion is required before the government searches a traveler's cellphone at the border," federal courts say.

No warrant, no suspicion, no problem: Flock and border cellphone searches excluded from 4th Amendment rules
Cops keep carving out tech exceptions to the Fourth Amendment—and courts are giving them their blessing.

The New York Times did not blink. The Times: “We won’t be issuing a retraction." But they didn't stop there. "This is another all too common example of the president lashing out at coverage he doesn’t like and belittling journalists who report the facts.”

Taking down a Flock camera means nothing if they replace it with another camera doing the same thing. These Corrupt Bigshots can change the company name all it wants, but Texans still shouldn't have their movements tracked and stored everywhere they drive.
Screenshot of a Jalopnik article headlined, “Flock Cameras Are Coming Down Around The Country Only To Be Replaced By The Same Technology With A Different Name.” The article is by Justin Hughes and dated September 5, 2026.

Donald Trump understands no language but coercion - brutality against innocents, retaliation and retribution, threats, intimidation, and deception. The closest he comes to persuasion is bribery, which is deception in disguise. He has no true friends, only tools.

Utah planned the world’s biggest data center. Then came the bipartisan pushback.
Utah aims to be industry-friendly. But choosing a fragile ecosystem to house a sprawling facility has generated intense grassroots opposition.

The right to trial is vanishing. Could bolder juries save it?
A new campaign by the Cato Institute aims to educate jurors on their right to vote their conscience against unjust laws and sentences.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

Das Bild ist ein zweiteiliges Meme mit dem Charakter Jim Halpert aus der US-Serie The Office, der neben einer Präsentationstafel steht.
 Obere Hälfte: Jim zeigt mit einem Stift auf ein Schild, auf dem steht: „They're not building Data Centers for AI“ („Sie bauen keine Rechenzentren für KI“).
 Untere Hälfte: Jim blickt lächelnd in die Kamera. Auf dem Schild steht nun die Fortsetzung: „They're building the infrastructure required to establish and maintain a 24/7 digital prison surveillance state.“ („Sie bauen die Infrastruktur auf, die erforderlich ist, um einen digitalen Rund-um-die-Uhr-Gefängnis- und Überwachungsstaat zu errichten und aufrechtzuerhalten.“)
