"Police departments around the country have used Flock cameras at least hundreds of times to search for specific people, not cars, using searches such as “heavy-set male with a black and white hat,” “person on skateboard,” and “person wearing orange vest and construction hat,” according to data reviewed by 404 Media. Sometimes searches reference a target’s race or signs of their political affiliation.

The searches highlight that while most people associate Flock cameras with scanning license plates and tracking vehicles, some of the cameras are also capable of following the movements of particular people or groups of people. Flock’s nationwide network of cameras lets police officers in one state search for a vehicle across many other states at once; the people searches do a similar thing, typically on a smaller scale, sometimes querying many hundreds of cameras at once. These are called “FreeForm” searches, and allow cops to use Flock’s system as though they would use a search engine, with Flock’s AI and image recognition interpreting what footage and which people are relevant to a police officer’s search."

Slow hand wave to everyone who told us we were being hyperbolic and “he can’t because the Constitution says…” as if the Constitution were anything more than ink on paper without anyone to enforce it.

Their actions for this entire Trump 2.0 have been completely unconcerned with the unpopularity of their agenda because they don't intend to allow elections to remove them from office.

I remind my American friends, removing this fascist regime only gets harder from here. Do not look away. Organize. Act.

WaPo reports the POTUS is expected to make a televised address tonight in which he will argue that foreign intelligence threats have undermined the security of our elections -- and specifically the one he lost in 2020 -- and that this means the federal government should take over elections which are managed by each individual state. The president has tried to hold up every major recent action by Congress in order to cajole them into approving a new law that would require proof of citizenship and and ID to vote in this year's mid-term elections.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/07/14/trump-plans-prime-time-speech-2020-election-allegations/

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va) just issued a statement outlining the facts about the 2020 election and the current election infrastructure. I'm pasting part of it here because it's a good resource for anyone following along and for reporters who have to write about this unfortunate chapter in our nation's history. It's also a preemptive rebut to and probably a preview of what we'll hear from the president this evening.

"Foreign adversaries routinely seek to influence U.S. elections. They spread disinformation, amplify political divisions, intimidate voters, incite violence, and attempt to undermine Americans’ confidence in democratic institutions.

What foreign adversaries have not done, according to repeated public, unclassified assessments from the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the FBI, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and bipartisan state election officials, is alter vote totals, hack voting machines to change election outcomes, or compromise the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. The clearest pattern across recent elections is not successful vote manipulation – it is sustained influence operations, aided and abetted by domestic actors, designed to convince Americans that their elections cannot be trusted.

These facts matter because conspiracy theories about stolen elections cannot become a pretext for weakening our democratic system or stripping states and local election officials of their longstanding constitutional role in administering elections. The answer to foreign threats is to strengthen election security, support state and local officials, and combat foreign influence operations – not to “take over” or federalize election administration based on claims that have been repeatedly investigated and debunked.

Reporters have a unique responsibility at this moment. The press is the only profession expressly protected by the Constitution because the Founders understood that an informed public depends on a free and independent press willing to separate fact from fiction and hold those in power accountable. Regardless of the source seeking to amplify false narratives about American elections, journalists should approach extraordinary claims with the same rigor they would apply to any other allegation: demand credible evidence, consult the extensive public record, engage subject-matter experts with experience tracking foreign intelligence operations, and provide audiences with the full context of repeated findings from the Intelligence Community, federal cybersecurity officials, bipartisan state election administrators, audits, recounts, and the courts. Careful, evidence-based reporting is one of the strongest defenses against efforts to undermine confidence in American democracy. To that end, we have assembled the following reference guide to help reporters quickly evaluate some of the most common claims about election security against the extensive public record developed by the Intelligence Community, CISA, the FBI, bipartisan state election officials, audits, recounts, and the courts.

Claim: China interfered in the 2020 election to help Biden.

Facts: Under the leadership of then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, the Intelligence Community assessed that China considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. By contrast, the IC assessed that Russia conducted influence operations aimed at denigrating Biden and supporting Trump, and that Iran conducted efforts to undercut Trump and sow division. The Intelligence Community, Department of Justice, and Department of Homeland Security all agree that there was no changing of votes or compromise of the integrity of election infrastructure in the 2020 election. Even the Minority View included in the public 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment – which assessed that China may have undertaken some modest influence operations – concurred with the overall IC assessment that there was “no information suggesting China tried to interfere with election processes.”

Claim: Venezuela, Dominion, or Smartmatic hacked voting machines.

Facts: In November 2020, President Trump’s own CISA, working alongside state and local election officials from both parties, declared the 2020 election “the most secure in American history.” CISA stated there was “no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” and highlighted the extensive safeguards built into U.S. elections, including paper records, audits, recounts, certification, and pre-election testing.

Claim: Georgia proves the machines were wrong.

Facts: Georgia’s post-election audit showed the opposite. Because the presidential margin was so close, the state conducted a full manual tally of all presidential paper ballots. The Georgia Secretary of State, a Republican, reported that the audit confirmed the original machine count accurately identified the winner, with differences within the expected range of human hand-counting error.

Claim: Foreign interference means votes were changed, or elections are illegitimate.

Facts: This claim conflates two different concepts. The IC has repeatedly warned that foreign adversaries conduct influence operations, including hack-and-leak operations, disinformation campaigns, and efforts to undermine confidence in U.S. democracy. But those assessments distinguish influence from interference such as alteration or manipulation of ballots, vote tabulation, or voter registration.

Claim: Foreign actors can easily flip a federal election.

Facts: Both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) have said the decentralized nature of U.S. election infrastructure makes large-scale manipulation very difficult to carry out without detection through intelligence collection, audits, cybersecurity monitoring, and physical security controls. This assessment was reaffirmed by DOJ and DHS in a joint report on the 2020 U.S. Federal Elections – a report mandated by Executive Order 13848, which was signed by President Trump himself in 2018. Indeed, federal funding – much of which took place through appropriations bills under President Trump’s first term – helped shore up the security of state and local election systems in advance of the 2020 U.S. Federal Elections.

Claim: States cannot be trusted to administer elections.

Facts: The Founding Fathers thought otherwise, assigning the responsibility for election administration to states in the Constitution. As a result, elections are administered by more than 8,000 state and local jurisdictions, making centralized or outcoming-shaping fraud extraordinarily difficult. Election security relies on multiple independent safeguards – including but not limited to paper ballots or voter-verifiable paper records, bipartisan poll workers, post-election canvasses, audits, recounts where appropriate, and certification by state and local officials. The federal government’s role has historically been to provide intelligence, cybersecurity assistance, and voluntary best practices through agencies like CISA, the FBI, and ODNI (notably, resources the current administration has curtailed) – not to run or “take over” elections. A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation recommended more support for state and local election officials, not replacing them with a federally controlled election system.

Claim: Dead people or non-citizens voted in large numbers, or there are more ballots than registered voters.

FACTS: These discrepancies are usually attributable to clerical or data issues, and while there are occasional isolated cases, multiple comprehensive studies have found that noncitizen voting is vanishingly rare. Notably, under President Trump’s influence, many GOP-led states have withdrawn from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) – the nationwide clearinghouse to assist states in improving the accuracy of voter rolls.

Claim: Mail-in ballots or ballot drop boxes are inherently insecure.

FACTS: CISA notes that states employ multiple, overlapping safeguards for mail-in and drop-box voting, including voter signature verification or other voter validation methods, ballot tracking, secure ballot handling and chain-of-custody procedures, ballot reconciliation, and post-election audits. The specific safeguards vary by state, but they are designed so that no single control is solely responsible for protecting election integrity. Importantly, mail-in voting has traditionally been a critical method of ensuring that military personnel can exercise their right to vote and has been commonplace in many states for over a decade.

The factual record is clear: Foreign adversaries try to influence Americans and undermine confidence in our elections, but unclassified government assessments and state audits have not shown that China, Venezuela, or any foreign actor hacked voting machines or changed vote totals in 2020. The real threat is not that Americans’ votes were secretly flipped; it is that foreign adversaries and domestic actors continue to spread false claims designed to make Americans doubt legitimate election results."

AP NEWS POLITICS Judge blasts Trump’s IRS lawsuit as filed for ‘improper purpose,’ recommends attorney discipline

"The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is reportedly ending its deal with Flock Safety, a surveillance company that helps law enforcement track vehicles using thousands of its license plate cameras placed across the United States.

A senior LAPD official told news outlets, first reported by ABC7 and the Los Angeles Times, that the police department would allow its three-year contract with Flock to expire when it ends on Saturday. The department cited “serious concerns” around civil liberties and privacy. Flock’s cameras are operated by the Atlanta, Georgia-based company and not the LAPD.

“This contract is not being renewed because of serious concerns around civil liberties and civil rights issues, particularly around privacy and the data that is being collected from these cameras,” LAPD’s chief information officer Dean Gialamas was quoted as saying. “The LAPD had to make a difficult decision, in this case discontinuing using Flock services until we can get those data, privacy, security and sharing concerns ironed out through a contractual relationship.”

A spokesperson for the LAPD did not respond to a request for comment from TechCrunch over the weekend, and it’s unclear if Flock’s cameras will continue recording in absence of an active contract. According to ABC7, the police department is seeking new language in its contract addressing privacy and data storage concerns."

It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis; (2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.

Meta Al data center caught infecting town water supply with deadly bacteria

Frank Strong, engineering and water resource division manager at the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities, said the bacterium was first detected during routine wastewater testing.

He added that it was an unusual pathogen to find in any wastewater, including discharge from a data center.

In Cheyenne, Wyoming, officials are cutting off wastewater-dumping access for data centers connected to the city’s water system.

"The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that people have an expectation of privacy from the government as their mobile devices track them throughout their daily activities, even when that information is shared with companies like Google and Apple.

The 6-3 decision in Chatrie v. United States extends Fourth Amendment protections to data that people hand over to tech companies, meaning police need a warrant to obtain it. Justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas dissented.

The Trump administration argued that users did not have an expectation of privacy after voluntarily sharing their location data with companies like Google.

“An individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in records about his cell phone’s location, and police intrude on that constitutionally protected interest when they demand the information — even though for only a limited time, and from a third-party tech company,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the majority.

The case involves a 2019 bank robbery in Virginia, where police arrested Okello Chatrie after using a geofence warrant to locate all devices near the scene of the crime."

"Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists who have publicly criticized the venue’s use of facial recognition technology, putting their tweets and comments into a document that was then accessible to other people inside the company, 404 Media has found.

The news shows that MSG, operated by Jim Dolan who has garnered a reputation for being pernicious against his perceived enemies, is not only deploying controversial facial recognition technology but keeping track of specific people who take issue with it. The document was included in a 45GB cache of data hackers stole from MSG and posted online this month, which 404 Media then downloaded and reviewed.

“The wake of a data breach would be a good time for Madison Square Garden to stop subjecting its patrons to biometric surveillance,” Adam Schwartz, privacy litigation director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and one of the people included in the document, told 404 Media."

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appears to be purchasing records related to immigrants’ tax identifiers from a data broker, potentially skirting a court order that banned ICE from sourcing such information, according to Senator Ron Wyden and government procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.

The contract, worth nearly $10 million, is related to ITINs, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, which is the identifier many undocumented people use to file their taxes rather than a Social Security number (SSN).

“It looks for all the world like Trump is trying to skirt the law and a court order to fuel his mass-deportation campaign,” Senator Wyden told 404 Media in an emailed statement after reviewing the procurement records. “A court has already struck down an agreement between the IRS and Homeland Security to illegally share ITINs and other personal information.

A contract to buy that same information from private data brokers is a clear end-around both taxpayer privacy laws and a court order.”"

NYT will occasionally write something pro-democracy to hide their century-long support of fascism.

The NYT is uncharacteristically accurate and bold, in addition to a piece about Vance, Miller, and attempts to suspend habeus corpus/invoke the Insurrection Act, they said Todd Blanche "already damaged the Justice Department ... misled #Congress," and "the #Senate should reject his nomination."

They may have an inside source that is telling them the nomination is DOA in the #Senate. The NYT has studiously avoided angering the orange felon such that they won't go out on a limb unless they're confident that Blanche doesn't have the votes. Reporters confirmed that Blanche was at the white house #Epstein situation room cover-up meetings.

How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE

‚ICE has been invading U.S. cities, targeting, surveilling, harassing, assaulting, detaining, and torturing people who are undocumented immigrants. They also have targeted people with work permits, asylum seekers, permanent residents (people holding “green cards”), naturalized citizens, and even citizens by birth. ICE has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on surveillance technology to spy on anyone—and potentially everyone—in the United States. It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against such an overwhelming force.

But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology….‘

The Zine from 404media About ICE Surveillance Is Here!

https://www.404media.co/icezine/

"You are holding a zine about the surveillance tools used by ICE, and what we have learned so far about how you can resist this technology.

This zine was reported and written by 404 Media, a journalist-owned investigative website and now, we suppose, a print publication. Our status as a small outfit of reporters who own the means of production (a website), means that we have the freedom to report on the topics we believe are the most important. For the last year, that has been Donald Trumpʼs mass deportation
campaign, and the technology powering it."

Grüne und CDU bewilligen Palantir-Einsatz in #Baden-Württemberg

Grüne und CDU haben im Landtag den Einsatz der Überwachungssoftware von #Palantir für die baden-württembergische Polizei bewilligt. Kritiker*innen warnen schon lange vor erheblichen Gefahren für den Datenschutz sowie vor Fehleranfälligkeiten und Funktionserweiterungen von KI-gestützer Überwachung durch die Polizei. Der vom rechten Milliardär #PeterThiel gegründete und von Alex Karp geführte Palantir-Konzern, dessen Softwareverkäufe Grüne und #CDU aktiv fördern, steht ebenfalls in massiver Kritik, da er eine Schlüsselrolle in der militärischen Aufrüstung und inneren Autoritarisierung der #USA unter Trump einnimmt.

Neben ihrem erneuten klaren Bekenntnis zum Überwachungsstaat zeigen #dieGrünen damit auch, dass sie aus wahlkampftechnischen Gründen bereit sind, der Polizei dystopische Werkzeuge von autoritär-militarisierten Tech-Konzernen zu überreichen. Denn es liegt der Verdacht nahe, dass Kretschmann und der neue Spitzenkandidat, Cem Özdemir kurz vor der Landtagswahl im Frühjahr 2026 keinen Koalitionsstreit mit der CDU riskieren wollten, obwohl es von Seiten der Partei-Basis Bedenken gegen Palantir gab.

Die bevorzugten Ziele sind derzeit u.A. die Überwachungswerkzeuge des Unternehmens "Flock", welches in Verbindung zur autoritären ICE-Behörde steht.

Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act.

Tulsi Gabbard released a fake declassified slideshow w/ lies about #Ukraine. Putin's girlfriend actually reused graphics from russian intelligence documents, added a U.S. ODNI logo, and presented them as American intelligence products.

Slide elements match russian government documents published in 2022, including materials russia presented to the UN Security Council.

Tulsi's KGB slideshow includes:

Slide 2 An AI‑generated map with errors

Slide 4 A graphic identical to one in a russian report re: Material from a US contractor (Black & Veatch) that Russia previously publicized

Gabbard used recycled russian propaganda rather than authentic U.S. intelligence.

Gabbard’s weaponized russian propaganda undermines U.S.–Ukraine biological safety programs.

Gabbard’s deception harms the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens.

Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and contains spelling & geographical errors Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corp. (Black and Veatch) that worked w/ the Defense Threat Reduction Agency in Ukraine. The Russian regime claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. Russian then widely publicized these products in reports in 2022 Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian KGB/FSB in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agency Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russians to the #UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week Gabbard’s deception harms the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research But what is clear is Gabbard promulgated KGB/FSB intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act #europeanunion #eu

"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to make it effectively impossible for people to buy what many call burner phones—a phone not explicitly linked to your identity at the point of purchase—which would impact privacy-conscious people, to domestic abuse survivors, to journalists, and many more. The FCC plans to do this by legally forcing the country’s telecoms to store a wealth of personal information about essentially all phone customers, including a government issued identification number and their physical address, alarming privacy advocates and civil rights activists who compare the measures to those from authoritarian countries where it can be difficult to buy a mobile phone plan without giving up your identity.

The proposed change would drastically shake up how people obtain phone plans in the U.S., and have all sorts of privacy and cybersecurity knock-on effects. The FCC is proposing the data collection partly as a way to combat scammers, with telecoms being required to collect other information on business and foreign customers like the intended use case of their bulk phone plan purchase and their IP address. But the changes would mean telecoms collect data on all new and renewing customers, and the FCC provides a long list of other things that the collected data could help authorities with."
