PabloReports: What do you make of this $1.7 billion slush fund that Trump is proposing for Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and pardoned fraudsters? Raskin: It’s illegal, unconstitutional, and outrageous. Congress controls the spending of money from the federal government, and we never voted to establish a $1.7 billion fund to pay off insurrectionists and his extremist private militias, and we would never spend money on that. So it needs to be blocked. It’s an absolute corruption and prostitution of the Judgment Fund.

🚨The US Forest Service plans to spray up to 75,000 Acres in the Lake Tahoe area with glyphosate, including campgrounds, trailheads and ski areas. They are doing so to purportedly accelerate wildfire recovery. The reality is that they are killing deciduous trees, native shrubs, flowering plants, and anything that competes with the commercially attractive conifer trees used by the timber industry. Additionally, the suggested benefits of spraying glyphosate for wildfire prevention can be achieved through other, non-chemical methods that don’t kill entire ecosystems. We need your help. Please call all of these offices and tell them why you do not want glyphosate sprayed. Leave a message if they don’t pick up.

Donald Trump is about to turn Jan 6 criminals into MILLIONAIRES. With your tax dollars. The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls… …hunted Mike Pence through the halls of Congress… …assaulted cops. He’s creating a $1.7 billion apology fund for them. Disgusting.

I live in Tahoe and can tell you Big Chem messed with the wrong community. Now that the recent Mother Jones article exposed the massive levels of glyphosate currently being sprayed on our forests by the US Forest Service and their plans to spray the Caldor Fire burn scar in the Lake Tahoe Basin, the fight is on. @glyphosategirl Everyone can help! This is both urgent and a long game so stay tuned for evolving calls to action.

Once again, repealing Section 230 erases the internet overnight. It's the one law that allowed social media to exist, written in 1996. A law gutting or even somewhat gutting Section 230 is probably the biggest threat to the internet that has ever existed

these photos were so cunty

Today is Endangered Species Day. The Trump administration has rolled back protections for: —Wolverines —Sea turtles —Monarch butterflies —Bison —Polar bears —Rice's whales —Alligator snapping turtles —Saltmarsh sparrows —Florida panthers

Palestine before war. What a lovely country ❤️❤️

BREAKING: DHS waives dozens of environmental laws to rush border construction through congressionally designated Wild & Scenic section of the Rio Grande in Big Bend--the incredibly remote Lower Canyons stretch. We're looking into legal action. In the meantime, here's my reaction: "The Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande are one of the wildest places in America—a stretch of river so remote that visitors can float for days without seeing a road, a light, or a single sign of the modern world. This waiver clears the way for DHS to blast roads through serene canyon walls, flood the darkness with artificial stadium lights, and build an industrial barricade across one of the last great rivers in the American Southwest. We will fight this looming catastrophe.”

Amazon is asking permission to destroy 5 acres of wetlands and nearly 1 mile of streams as part of its resubmitted proposal to add 14 data center buildings at a third site at its sprawling New Carlisle, IN campus. Public comment is due June 12.

BREAKING: In a major decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has stayed, or temporarily blocked, a Fifth Circuit ruling that would have reinstated stricter federal restrictions on the abortion medication mifepristone. The ruling keeps in place current U.S. Food and Drug Administration rules allowing mifepristone to be prescribed via telehealth and shipped by mail while litigation brought by Louisiana continues. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito filed dissents.

forever wishing we got more photos of this gorgeoussss look

The media spent 2.5 years telling you this is “targeting Hamas.”

“what that mouth do?” argue bye

This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America “I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I've served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I've designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I'm not speculating on how this technology works. I've read their patents and I know how it works. Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story. They're AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company's servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn't add up The city council should also understand who they're doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie. Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras. Now consider who's behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock's primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure. Palantir's own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that's the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into. We're not anti-police at all. We're against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We're asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock's database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract” I looked more into this and he is 100% right Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers. This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to. Cancel all contracts nationwide
