Hey @johnforaurora.bsky.social maybe we shouldn’t have these in our city any more?
New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE.

"Should serve as a warning of how it may be used in the future to suppress dissent."

Cops Used Flock to Monitor No Kings Protests Around the Country
A massive cache of Flock lookups collated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) shows as many as 50 federal, state, and local agencies used Flock during protests over the last year.

Please do submit a comment if you live in Illinois. This is a practice that causes active harm to inmates, separates them even more from external support systems, and even makes it harder for U.S. attorneys to communicate with incarcerated clients
NEW — Illinois residents can submit comments to state leaders by Nov. 24 to oppose mail scanning, which allows prison officials to scan physical mail and reproduce it into digital copies.

Criminal justice advocates say the practice doesn’t make prisons safer.

Wow, good thing people were defending Glusenkamp-Perez yesterday.
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Hey @duckworth.senate.gov, what is wrong with you? Are you looking to be primaried as well?

outside of individual donations to gofundmes and such, one helpful destination for your money right now is this bond fund. everyone being released from broadview needs to pay $1500 bond, which is obviously insane. it's going to cost like $925k to successfully spring 615 people linktr.ee/mw_bondfund

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

2256.42%????

Are you stupid or something @durbin.senate.gov ?
Shutdown package includes provision to entirely kill the massive US hemp industry at the behest of Mitch McConnell and big alcohol companies. This “deal” is worse than getting nothing. Not a clean bill by any measure. Any Democratic Senator who votes for this deserves to be ousted in primary
NEW: Buried in 141-page text of the latest draft text of the Senate's ag appropriations bill is a restriction on hemp-derived THC products w/ >0.4mg per container—an effective ban on the existing market. Would go into effect 1yr from passage: www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
