Knoxville police in Tennessee, who have replaced Flock cameras with Axon, say the public must now accept mass surveillance as the new normal because Axon is "safe and effective" and for your own good.
Axon has already acquired Israeli police technology company Carbyne, that was co-funded by Jeffrey Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
BlackRock and Vanguard are the largest shareholders of Axon.
"The technology will be used the way it was intended to be used."

@GardenerFliss I crochet. I am trying to switch to natural fibers. It’s hard to find quality yarn. I want to learn to spin. How do we connect people like me with people like them….at a rate we can both afford.

Every sheep in the UK has to be shorn for its welfare. There is no choice. Yet the heartbreaking reality is that it often costs more to shear a sheep than the fleece is worth.
So tonnes of beautiful British wool are treated as waste, burned, buried or composted, while we fill our wardrobes with synthetic fibres made from oil that shed microplastics into our rivers and seas.
It feels as though somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten the value of the things nature gives us so generously.
British wool is warm, breathable, biodegradable, renewable and grown every single year by animals already grazing our countryside. It deserves to be treasured, not thrown away.
Perhaps the answer isn’t to produce more. Perhaps it’s to remember what we’ve always had, and start valuing natural materials, skilled craftsmanship and the people who produce them once again.

@BillWiIdin @MadMidwestMark Canada recommends death if you are getting expensive.

@MadMidwestMark Inflation is real. But Canada, UK, Germany, Japan all have inflation too.
None of them have medical bankruptcy. The problem isn't just prices. It's the system design.

@BernieSanders We’ve been living there for a long time. Michigan doesn’t want Abdul. Don’t advocate for someone else’s state please.

@GavinNewsom Withholding it until the fraud is investigated and stopped. Where did all your tax money go? How’s that train coming along? Oh, and Congress is on vacation for a month. Paid. Vacation.

@KavaCap @omgsidewalks Boomers worked their arses off to get what they have. They were told it would cost $2.5M to be retired. Curious where you got this $25K/yr/house number. That number isn’t coming out of my check, I assure you.
English

@omgsidewalks Nah.
You’re struggling because boomer entitlements cost every working house hold $25k per year. The mean boomer is worth 2.5 million and has income more than 100k per year.
Billionaires aren’t the problem. Boomers are

@omgsidewalks I’m almost struggling. The reason is government requiring my services (for people who cannot afford necessary services) but not funding it. I agreed to do this job for this wage. No one twisted my arm.

Zohran Mamdani: “Democrats have been branded as socialists for longer than I can remember. I remember President Obama being called a socialist almost every single day by Republicans and it didn’t stop him from delivering not just on his first term but his second term. People are hungry for a vision of the Democratic Party that has more to do with the New Deal than the raw deal that so many Americans have been forced to accept”

@felicityrevere @Acyn Precisely. Maybe we want their health coverage. That would be okay. Maybe a pension equivalent as well. Private security? If needed…what a two faced little twit she is.
English

She is always referencing these countries but never mentions the quality of care, the pay system for doctors and nurses, and the people with lifelong illnesses, or age, that are excluded from receiving care.
Also she forgets to mention the golden care she receives as a congresswoman, which will never be an option for the “public market.”
Also- fix Obamacare, lower the premiums people are paying, and force hosptials to advertise their costs. We can start here and work forward through a system that works extremely well, but is plagued by greed and corruption.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?
AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.
So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

@BernieSanders Walmart is the same. Sam’s kids are very wealthy. Walmart pays a very good hourly wage, but limits hours so people end up on assistance. Also, using any statistics from the Biden fiasco is misleading in itself. Cry harder Bernie.

@badwulf1865 We have them in this area once and again. They come and go. This was a project I ran for kids on probation. We donated literal tons of produce. I had a little spot that was “mine” off to the side for a while. It’s a great idea, I wish communities would invest in them more!
English

@Defunone I thought so, but it sounded like you were describing a co-alotment, as they have in the U.K. for people who want to grow vegetables but don't have a yard. I didn't know we had something similar here.
English

More Brits need to stand up against these foreign bafoons. Good on ya, mate!

How selfish do you have to be to pluck flowers out of a community garden that was planted for everyone to enjoy? Well done to this guy for calling him out.

@MarcoFoster_ @ZohranKMamdani @jonstewart @weeklyshowpod Yes. Providing broad sweeping safety and education services open to ALL is definitely the same as paying my rent or giving you free food.

Zohran Mamdani: “A lot of what we’ve come to accept as the facts of life across our country is driven by democratic socialist principles. If today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today and yet that’s the library. And the same thing with the fire department and the same thing with public schools”
