Police surveil everyone driving in San Jose and search that data thousands of times per month without ever seeking a warrant. It’s an unchecked police power, an end run around the courts & a blatant privacy invasion, EFF’s Lisa Femia wrote for @MercuryNews.com. www.mercurynews.com/2025/12/06/...
Opinion: San Jose’s vast surveillance network is watching you. Be afraid.
The city’s license plate cameras are collecting revealing data that police nationwide are searching — all without warrants.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.

Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.

John Roberts > Roger Taney.

Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Mexican Heritage Plaza on 12/10 at 6pm to support our immigrant friends and neighbors in San Jose. Come tell Mahan he needs to be as strong handed in protecting San Jose against ICE/CBP.

ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.

Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

Wow. Need to investigate this.
Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006.

They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents.

The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

I’d love to chuckle this off as far fetched but this Supreme Court has demonstrated it doesn’t even care to justify its disregard for the constitution.
Excited for 2028 when some state SoS kicks Trump off the ballot, Federal district and appellate judges uphold it and then SCOTUS issues an unsigned 6-3 shadow docket rulling staying the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to stay on the ballot and schedules arguments for the case for February 2029.

San Francisco-based Zignal Labs is aiding ICE’s crackdown on free speech.

Its AI surveillance program monitors 8 billion social media posts a day. Clients include the Israeli military and the Pentagon.

Surveillance as a service, authoritarianism as a business model.
