Flock is just the latest example of using surveillance to stalk women

The technology is under fire for how police officers have abused it. But it’s only the symptom of a larger problem.

Flock cameras: because apparently some cops needed taxpayer-funded stalking tools. They need to go!

Trump appears to be so mentally incoherent that he looks to be mixing up a Q re Wall Street w/ Iran bc he heard the word "intervention" (& this is the charitable interpretation bc the other one is he is suggesting bombing Wall St). Imagine if a Dem Prez sounded this senile (even Biden never did).

Improbable but true: Unlike DJT, I have actually raise an Angus beef steer. During my FFA days in high school. There is zero chance a 90-day fix will "give space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again." And every farmer knows that.

2 dead in Michigan from Taylor Farms lettuce. 1.7M+ contaminated eggs at Kroger. 3 dogs sick from Oma's Pride dog food. E. coli berries in 8 states. This is what happens when the FDA can't act before the harm — and victims can't sue after. All thanks to The Roberts Court.

I wonder why 90 days. Couldn’t be because the midterms are in… 74 days, right? Right? Apparently communist price controls are fine when you’re trying to get votes. Who knew?
