Some people really dislike family functions because they don’t want to get into asinine political arguments.

Not realizing that my family is locked in here with *me*, I’m not locked in here with them.

These cameras were not just watching cars or even license plates. They were zooming in on people's faces on the sidewalk, tracking people in parks, watching what they were looking at on their phone screens: www.404media.co/flock-expose...

SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars.

In the last several months, @ddosecrets.com has been powering through archives of Epstein emails and files and releasing them for free to the public.

No DoJ meddling, no institutional power making decisions about what to release.

They sure could use your help tho... DONATE donorbox.org/ddosecrets
The first public tranche of Epstein emails - over 13,000 emails - was just released live on @offthehookradio.bsky.social with the folks from @2600.com: ddosecrets.com/article/epst...
