On Wed., 4/22, co-organizers Laurie & Jared Berezin offer reflections on 1 yr of standouts; Brooke Simone, Lawyers for Civil Rights, discusses ICE’s lawlessness; and a solemn reading of immigrants’ names who’ve died in ICE custody, w/ signs listing their ages and countries of origin. Pls. attend.

Mass. House passes bill to ban kids under 14 from social media The legislation would also prohibit cellphone use during the school day.

The whole process around this has been hella problematic.

No one was even talking about this, there are a lot of potentially dangerous privacy implications that need ironing out, but the House rushed it through in just a few days with no real thought.

Beacon Hill’s effort to restrict social media use by teens is clumsy and invasive, critics say - The Boston Globe Proposals from on Beacon Hill aimed at curbing social media use among teens have run into a range of practical, constitutional, and security challenges.

"Civil liberties groups and organizations in favor of tech privacy warn the proposals could backfire and make online activity even less private by requiring users to submit personal information to verify their ages or parental status."

Inflation is surging.

Grocery prices are near record highs.

Housing costs are through the roof.

Does that sound like a golden age to you?

Infographic showing Citizens Bank’s financial relationship with GEO Group. Text states that Citizens provides loans, underwrites bonds, and organizes other lenders for GEO Group deals worth more than $1.5 billion. A central GEO Group logo connects to three areas of its business: Detention (facilities currently holding 24,000 people for ICE with capacity for 6,000 more), Transportation (ground and air transport through GEO Transport), and Surveillance (electronic monitoring and investigative services through subsidiary BI Incorporated). Sources listed as GEO Group SEC filings and the GEO Group Q4 2025 earnings call, with the website de-icecitizensbank.org at the bottom.

SEC filings show that Citizens Bank has helped arrange more than $1.5 billion in financing for GEO Group.

While it's best known as ICE's largest detention provider, that's not the only way GEO profits from the mass detention agenda.

This highlights how ICE, which does not have a contract with Flock, continues to get access to Flock’s AI-powered license plate scanning cameras through local and state police. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Story by @jasonkoebler.bsky.social: www.404media.co/floridas-wil...

Some Twin Cities suburbs shut off license plate cameras over data sharing concerns Residents have aired concerns about privacy at City Council meetings and raised new questions after the federal immigration enforcement surge.

More cities nationwide have deactivated Flock cameras, with some officials saying they learned their data was being shared more widely, and with more out-of-state agencies, than they realized.
