No one should be subjected to conditions like this, which are both not new and not uncommon. Prisons are inherently inhumane. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

New: Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people. Seemingly every week there's a new case, the details usually similar. Cops use unfettered access to Flock to surveil an ex. They most often search plates hundreds of times over months

New: Regretful cities are literally covering their Flock cameras with black trash bags because they cannot figure out how to immediately exit their surveillance contracts or get the cameras taken down:

I received word that some liberal nonprofits and political consultants are trying to work with establishment Democrats on a political strategy to expand surveillance, militarized policing, immigration detention, and overall imprisonment with re-branded language. Lots of words like "community" thrown in there. This would be a catastrophic moral failure, but also an unbelievable strategic error given how unpopular repression is. Those of us who want to see a more equal, more just, more safe society must do everything in our power to call thee people out and stop them, and we will.

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

As I've been saying for a while now, the only way to carry out a mass deportation operation of 4% of the population is to transform the United States into a surveillance state.

"The notion of the commons has to do with what we owe each other, as an aspect of mutuality, rather than what we own."
Dan's two-part interview w/ Peter Linebaugh is now available to read as a transcript: jacobin.com/2026/05/commons-…
Find the episodes here: thedigradio.com/tag/peter-li…
Before capitalism, common people had customary rights to the land. These had to be violently destroyed to create a working class with no way to survive but to sell its labor.
Peter Linebaugh, a foremost historian of the commons, explains the process: jacobin.com/2026/05/commons-…

We won! Hundreds of thousands of people who are currently detained and separated from their families in lower-level cases will be released from jail every year. An incredible victory for liberty and public safety. You can read the historic decision here: civilrightscorps.org/wp-cont…
Apr 29
As many of you know, we've been fighting for years to challenge the grotesque cash bail and pretrial detention policies around the U.S. that keep 100,000s of human beings in cages and separated from their families every single night, mostly because they lack cash. Tomorrow, the California Supreme Court will issue the most important court decision ever decided on this question--and probably the most important decision in U.S. history in terms of the number of people in jail. At stake is essentially whether several hundred thousand presumed innocent people every year in misdemeanors and non-violent felonies can be detained in cages prior to trial. It's the most important issue we've ever worked on.

Out today: Flock has sold nearly 92,000 cameras to local police departments—including more than 10,000 in Texas, according to an open source map.
Privacy advocates are determined to bring that number down, and they're starting to get their way. texasobserver.org/license-pl…

Prison mail scanning is a technology of isolation and surveillance, period.
It isn't "misguided" or "ineffective" dope policy.
"[IDOC] admitted there was no evidence mail scanning would resolve the introduction of drug contraband into its facilities"

Automobile kill-switches are coming soon to car dealerships near you.
I teamed up w/ Scott Perry & Chip Roy to defund this Orwellian mandate, but too many colleagues (Republican & Democrat) voted against us, so the federal mandate for every new car after 2026 is still in place.
Jan 22
Federal law says new cars after 2026 must monitor drivers and shut down if the car disapproves. Your dashboard should not be judge, jury, and executioner.
@RepScottPerry @RepChipRoy offered an amendment to defund the automobile kill switch mandate. Here’s our debate:

One of the many ways police make us less safe.
Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022.
The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an @NYPDnews police officer, reports @jktrotter.
