we need to end mass surveillance

“Last time we looked to remove sensors from an old coverage area I know Clark [Dunson] flipped out since we still work with police using those sensors (which I did not know).”

oh wow one of the biggest privacy concerns about ShotSpotter was just confirmed

they don’t turn off the microphones, even after cities have ended their contract

Today Mumia Abu-Jamal has turned 70 years old and has been incarcerated for over 42 years. He has been intentionally medically neglected. The prison conditions are designed to slowly kill those who who are incarcerated. 🧵

The children in the mass graves had their hands zip tied behind their backs.

The doctors in the mass graves had their hands zip tied behind their backs.

They were executed en masse, 300 of them.

300 people who people who lived, breathed, loved, laughed, mattered.

which staffer suggested putting up a toddler gate around the podium so he can’t wander off

The way the school shooting drills came handy for the barricade and pushing out the police is nuts. They used the furniture around them to push out the police & helped each other which is what you’re supposed to do in an active shooting if you come face to face with the shooter.

Can’t hang Palestinian flags on USC campus, apparently

state troopers now have hemmed in students on both sides. i just had to negotiate with a state trooper for ten minutes to let students pass through to get to their rooms

Students, including my daughter, face down militarized state forces for demanding their university to divest from death. What happened UT’s slogan: “What starts here changes the world.” #StopArmingIsrael #CeasefireNOW

fascist convergence happening - where else - but at the home of the world's greatest purveyor of fascism since 1945

State troopers are surrounding a Palestine solidarity protest at UT Austin right now.

Right after Harvard University suspended campus group Palestine Solidarity Committee — threatening permanent expulsion if the group continued activities — a crowd of Harvard students (not the suspended group) have now launched a Gaza solidarity encampment.
