After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

Don’s too nice to say it. But “viewpoint diversity” is a jobs program for right-wing crackpots with anti-science views. The article even hints at this, noting that the biology department isn’t about to hire a creationist.

Republicans say this stuff all the time. Robin Vos says things like this in WI. But now it's not just "Democrats' votes shouldn't count." It's also "Democrats shouldn't even get to vote." And yet, somehow, our entire National Conversation™️ is always about how Democrats don't reach out to Real Folkz.
