The records, obtained from the Johnson County, Texas Sheriff’s Office by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and shared with 404 Media, show the sheriff’s office is able to tap into Flock license plate reading cameras at 173 different Lowe’s locations around the U.S. and that it can tap into cameras and gunshot-detecting microphones at dozens of Home Depot stores within Texas. The records are the latest to shed light on how expansive Flock’s surveillance network has become, and highlights that it includes cameras that are operated by both police and private businesses.

I want to get involved in protesting. I am in PA, are there protesting groups around me? I am brand new to it and would like to join the causes.

I did not realize 50501 was a protesting group itself lol, I joined the newsletter if there's any more info I am on board.

This is the truth! This goes everywhere!

She is also getting death threats.

“I am not intimidated by this, because what I did was simply alert my community to stay away from an area where ICE could be, to keep themselves safe."

Happened in LA just days after a federal Judge struck down their use of warrantless arrests. And they continued at a Home Depot in Los Angeles a couple days after.

Sections 8, 9, and 10 are gone as of today. This includes the Writ of Habeas Corpus. This is breaking news.

They've removed the parts they don't want from their site. They've taken out half of article 8, all of article 9, and all of article 10 on their site. While these articles still exist in the actual constitution, they are now officially pretending they don't. This includes Habeas Corpus, amongst other things, including parts that could limit blue states rights to stand up economically for themselves.

We need to rapidly prepare for a general strike. Once troops are deployed throughout the country, our last hope is to starve the iron heel of its precious capital.

Christopher Pohlhaus is the leader of Blood Tribe, dude with the face tattoo.

New Hampshire police defended them while they went against Uhaul safety policy to transport people to protests so they can fly Nazi flags and harass people.

The Blood Tribe probably didn't rent the truck in his name, but its worth calling and asking Uhaul to investigate any rentals by Christopher Pohlhaus. Since cops don't care

I stand with the Texas Represenatives who are refusing to make quorum. They’re not just walking out, they’re standing up. For voting rights, for democracy, and for the communities that are being targeted.

Right now, GOP lawmakers in Texas are pushing anti-voter laws and using gerrymandering to break up the political power of Black, Latino, and other marginalized communities. Gerrymandering is when politicians draw voting districts to rig elections in their favor. Instead of voters picking their leaders, leaders pick their voters. They split up neighborhoods or pack diverse communities into a single district so their voices are diluted or confined.

This is a deliberate strategy to hold onto power, even if it means silencing the will of the people. And it’s not just happening in Texas. If we let this slide, it’ll keep spreading.

Don’t sit this out. Call your reps. Use the 5 Calls app. Support orgs fighting voter suppression. Speak up wherever you can. Democracy doesn’t protect itself. People do.

Chile 2020, protestor handles a tear gas canister by dropping it into a container of water and baking soda.

I believe we need to acquire these skills pretty damn quickly.
