LAPD Deployed Drones to Spy on No Kings Protest Flight records show that Los Angeles police dispatched drones 32 times over last month’s No Kings rally.

Yes, Israel is destroying Lebanon's breadbasket. This is why I have been saying that Israel's goal is to destroy Lebanon itself.

The yellow line here is a proposed Israeli "forward defense zone," which they intend to occupy and ethnically cleanse. But it includes an area north of the Litani River, which so far the IDF has been unable to cross. If diplomats hand them this bridgehead, they will use it to invade central Lebanon.

Graphic card with text: "As the state has turned to the communicative capacity of penal power because it has lost the ability to cohere political order and define the benefits of citizenship through other means. To understand the Detention Reengineering Initiative, we must understand how our authoritarian present is a product of failed attempts to manage political crises through crimmigration in the past."

As ICE vastly expands its detention portfolio, analytical responses must consider the history of failed crimmigration, so as to reorient towards a different future. Read the latest blog post by @hallamtuck.bsky.social 👇

FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database The case was the first time authorities charged people for alleged “Antifa” activities after President Trump designated the umbrella term a terrorist organization.

NEW: The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database, multiple people present for FBI testimony in a trial told 404 Media.

"I find it useful to refer to a concept that originated first in anti-colonial readings of Gramsci—namely by Ranajit Guha—and was then adopted by the political economist Giovanni Arrighi in his writing about geopolitics in the wake of the Iraq war, namely that of dominance without hegemony."2/2

The California Lake Billed as the ‘Saudi Arabia of Lithium’

"...lithium-rich brine is pumped from deep aquifers to the surface, where it is then extracted....[T]here’s emerging evidence that it can require at least double the amount of fresh water used in traditional mines, opponents say."
Use scarce water to deplete the aquifer? What could go wrong?

Programs that have always operated inside San Quentin are simply shifting away from the old education annex to this new building... Many prisoner-led programs are being evicted from the education annex spaces they have utilized for decades. 2/

CA Should Send Prisoners Home Instead of Spending Millions on New Facilities A new facility celebrated by Gov. Gavin Newsom will disrupt prisoner-led programming and normalize our captivity.

Pretty groundbreaking class action re:data center pollution in Oregon, even if Amazon is denying the allegations and saying it's settling to "avoid the burdens and expenses of litigation" (presumably also avoiding unflattering discovery).
