"You want a movement, I hear. We all do. But the question is never “will somebody do something?” They are. We are. Our job is to notice, and to ensure that none of our flames burn out."

Also our job is to join in, where we can, how we can, with what we have.

The best time to get rid of your doorbell camera was as soon as you bought it, the second best time is right now.
SCOOP: ICE, HSI, and DHS are getting side-door access to the nationwide system of Flock license plate cameras by asking local police to perform lookups for them, new public records show.

ICE does *not* have a contract to use this surveillance tool itself.

In no way should a U.S. Citizen be detained, anywhere, because of their protected speech (and neither should a non-citizen, to be clear). To do so is to violate an oath to the Constitution and the rule of law.

I'm going to let Kiandria tell you in her own words but the payment processor is Block/Square. They have policies that block their platform from profiting off of racism and hate speech. So she's targeting them... heavily.

You know that racist white lady who has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars after calling a 5 year old boy the n word?

She's using a Christian fundraising platform that's fine with her racism.

That didn't sit right with Kiendria a web developer. /1

3/ Since February 2025, US embassies around the world have been sending letters to local contractors making similar demands. This seems to be the first time that it's been reported that a similar letter has been sent to a foreign government organisation.

1/ The Trump Administration is seeking to force foreign companies worldwide to ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes within their firms if they want to do business with the US government. It's an aggressive expansion of its anti-DEI crusade. ⬇️
