Syracuse University Seeks to Prevent Campus Rape Victim From Obtaining Police Records
---

The university, whose 1980s rape crisis figured prominently in a ProPublica article, committed to support survivors at “every step of the process.” Now it’s in court to stop police from sharing many records with a student who was assaulted in 1987.

I don't typically follow this lawfare stuff. Whether I like a protest or not is politically irrelevant. This one is different.

McGill was fucking brutal. Physical. Gross. Scary.

Also famously the place where a professor yelled go back to Poland.

"A #Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class action alleging #McGillUniversity failed to adequately protect #Jewish #students from #antisemitism, harassment and intimidation on campus following the #Oct7, 2023, #Hamas attack on #Israel.

The #lawsuit was brought by #DavidCobrin, who was a #McGill #undergraduate when the events described in the case began, and covers Jewish students registered at the #university between Oct. 8, 2023, and the publication of an official notice of the ruling. The plaintiffs are seeking reimbursement of 33 per cent of tuition and student fees, along with $5 million in collective #punitivedamages. The ruling allows those claims to proceed but does not determine whether McGill is liable."

The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed

https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk

Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive surveillance operation that generated $94 million in fines. This explosive investigation reveals how SMUD transformed smart meters into government spy devices, monitoring when you shower, sleep, or use appliances.

Innocent homeowners faced armed police raids for using electricity to power medical equipment or mine cryptocurrency. One resident was forced outside in his underwear at gunpoint, while another disabled veteran was threatened with arrest for refusing warrantless entry. The surveillance threshold dropped dramatically from 7,000 to just 2,800 kilowatt hours per month, making air conditioning use suspicious in Sacramento's brutal heat.

Internal documents expose how SMUD analysts actively mined customer data for police, checking over 10,000 homes in a single month. Despite California law explicitly prohibiting utilities from sharing precise meter data without warrants, SMUD violated these protections daily for a decade.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide. With the October 2025 court decision approaching, every American with a smart meter needs to understand how their utility company might be spying on them right now.
