This Wisconsin City Ditched AI Surveillance Cameras. Now Activists Want to Keep Going. Some cities are opting out of camera networks like Flock’s, concerned about abuse by police and immigration authorities. Organizers hope Dane County is the “next big domino” to fall.

“People did not have a consensual, popular agreement to work with these tech companies, and the police were collecting this data without our knowledge,” says one resident of Madison, Wisconsin, where county leaders signed a contract with Flock.

If you kill your wife, you don't get to be a husband anymore Some lessons from the media coverage of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer's murders.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

zohran is the current blueprint imo; that man acknowledges every person that is in his orbit & talks to ALL of us like he's our neighbor. i always remind ppl who are new to organizing that politicians are just regular ppl like me & you.

I know hugging isnt for everyone but i do not open-hand contact anyone bc ppl are gross, & I'd take a hug over a handshake every time. esp from men, they don't wash their hands after using the restroom 🤢

imo it's bc they dont look like us, think like us, and live like us. just elderly ghouls making life unnecessarily difficult for the rest of us to protect their pennies

like is the language we use more important than the harm we do? personally it's abolish incarceration for me, but if we have to do it pls research portugal's incarceration program 🫶

what does "the people" mean to you & follow up, do you think incarcerated people are people & do you think everyone in jails or prisons is a bad person? if a leader doesn't understand that incarcerated people are PEOPLE & thinks it's bad that we call the people that, he's not AMAZING bb

Hey, Beshear, Lis Smith, & associated Majority Dem-types:

If you want to kill group-speak, how about we start with “officer-involved shooting,” “ice agent involved-shooting,” “weaponized vehicle” & other mealy-mouthed obfuscations of state-sanctioned murder?

2nd saturday night in a row i came home to dog poop for no good reason 😭 i love my besties SO (too?) much but goddamn im also lookong forward to when i only have fosters or a cat

these apt complexes are so fuckin wild, just asked the office when the pool will open and they said MEMORIAL DAY like its not 90* right now. cant wait to move 😫

and i cannot forgive that. he voted for himself with no thought to alllll our conversations over the last decade about the harm these fucks are doing. he voted for a rapist knowing his sister was raped. he chose himself over the rest of us & i cannot forgive esp without an apology.

my brother just texted me. we haven't talked since he voted r in the last presidential. he said he doesn't understand why i 'hate him,' which tells me he thinks it's about him & not the hate he enabled via his vote. i miss him too!! but he chose a rapist over me, his daughters, his immigrant inlaws.

set nonviolent 'offenders' free
