I don’t believe law enforcement’s promises here, and neither should you. I will continue to follow community’s demands to bag and ban Flock cameras and similar technology. We can and must stop mass surveillance, and law enforcement abuse of it, in our communities. (5/

MPD and MCSO would like you to stop yelling at them about Flock cameras, though. And to just get used to mass surveillance, already. That’s why they’re already shifting the conversation to different manufacturers, other surveillance tech. (See the screenshot!) (4/

Two big takeaways: 1) People in Milwaukee don’t want to be around Flock cameras. Our constituents don’t want their vehicles tracked, or to get stalked, based on thin promises it will make them safer. (2/

This is an extension of denying genocide: actively providing protection and cover for those committing it. The first leads to the second, and makes you culpable, when you’re someone in power like @johnfetterman.com. bsky.app/profile/newr...

That bill, if passed, would help keep the public and firefighters safe. Thank you to the many folks who came out today to see this vivid demonstration of what good policy (or, instead, continuing to align policy to corporate interests) can look like. (3/3)

Adopting fire sprinklers in new construction, and incentivizing retrofits, is one way to preserve not just housing, but life. Today’s demo by the Milwaukee Fire Department underlines how critical it is to have public policy - like AB661 authored by Senator LaTonya Johnson. (2/3)

When I volunteer in shelters to assist folks who have lost their homes - and sometimes loved ones - to residential fires, I often wonder if something could have been done to prevent that loss. Here’s a case where we can and should do more: fire sprinklers. (1/3)

Toothless guidelines and backroom deals allowing the continued use and abuse of Flock cameras are not sufficient. Milwaukee should bag its cameras, end its contract, and work with us to ban the use of this technology statewide. AB576 does just that.

The only way we can reverse this trend is by changing the status quo. We have to stop locking up more people, for more crimes, for more time. And we need to shut down torturous facilities like GBCI and Waupun as soon as we can -- our next Governor must take this problem more seriously.

This is the end result when you mix church and state, defund public schools, and refuse to push back on anti-trans hate. Fascists never stop at the most vulnerable, but they build their power attacking them. There is no compromising with them.

As long as ICE exists, they can easily resume traffic stops, and killing people in their vehicles. This is a symptom of deeper, definitional problems with the agency — and DHS. #AbolishICE

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:
Cecelia Humiston, 22, lives on Chapel Street. She was asleep with her two-year-old son when she woke up to the sounds of a commotion on surrounding streets.

When she went to investigate, she saw what appeared to be a person lying on the ground on Pool Street.

She remembers hearing an older woman with a distressed family, yelling, “You took her dad, you took her dad!”

“They were with a little girl, she couldn't have been older than three,” Humiston said. “She was still in her Bluey pajamas.”

Humiston described law enforcement as “rude,” and said they barricaded family’s car from leaving. Another yelled at the little girl, who was trying to smell flowers.

ICE's repeated lies aren't reformable. They're inherent to the agency's purpose: discouraging all immigration by terrorizing immigrants and people of color anywhere and everywhere they can. The violence is the point. ICE must be abolished.
