NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

Today’s oligarchs can accomplish the same with much greater efficiency using AI, data brokers and hacking software instead of guys in trenchcoats and fedoras.

The Pinkerton Detective Agency — which still conducts surveillance for Amazon and other large companies, albeit under a new name — deployed hundreds of spies to infiltrate labor unions and break strikes with a combination of COINTELPRO-style misinformation and brutal violence.

The robber barons of the 19th and 20th centuries protected their power and wealth by amassing private armies of spies, spin doctors and henchmen.

Corporate surveillance means weaker environmental, food-safety and labor standards when companies can use their intelligence-gathering operations or stymie the efforts of advocates, journalists and researchers.

Corporate surveillance means higher prices online and at the store when retailers can leverage data they have about your shopping habits to squeeze you for a few extra pennies. This seems distant from getting your face scanned walking into a concert hall, but the underlying technologies are similar.

“Before you say “but I have nothing to hide,” listen up, law-abiding citizens! You don’t have to be personally targeted by surveillance for it to deeply affect your daily life, or darken the world your kids will grow up in.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

More context on my amazing, brave son! 💛💪🏽♿️✨💫 bsky.app/profile/lisa...

My son needs community-based care to have a full quality of life. Medicaid delivered that vital care until 2 weeks ago when he was abruptly kicked off. Republicans want to slash this care for Trump's Iran war. Who else has to lose everything before they stop? #HealthcareNotWarfare

Imposter syndrome is real - advocating for others when I can’t seem to advocate for my own. I’ve recently been diagnosed with heart disease, but can’t afford more tests/scans, and I’m also caring for my beloved dad (dementia). So here I am, humbly asking for help. 🙏🏽 Please vote in Nov. /x

Reinstatement appears to be on the horizon, but without knowing a “horizon date,” and going so long without a paycheck, our savings are now depleted. My (ret.) husband even decided to take Social Security early due to our situation, but it’s not much. This is why I’ve barely been online. (🧵)

These waivers provide therapies, specialists, meds, etc, we couldn’t afford otherwise. *The waiver also provided my job as Critter’s home healthcare attendant. We’ve had one Medicaid Appeal, now waiting on a second. The financial and emotional toll has been devastating. (🧵)

Good morning, friends.💙 My little family’s been fighting the system for over a year, but we’re in trouble. TX Medicaid waivers - IYKYK. After waiting 11 years to be approved, Critter finally had these needed benefits for 10 yrs before they were abruptly terminated in Feb. (🧵) gofund.me/ab5629c3d

Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the *roots* of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

While the majority of Democrats did the right thing, @repdelbene.bsky.social chose to stand with AIPAC and Republicans to fund genocide. It's time for WA-01 to make a different choice. www.instagram.com/stories/hunt...

$3,100 immersive gaming chair sold on Amazon. “My husband says he is going to vegetate and get fat in this chair!!” says one happy reviewer. Daughter apparently not as impressed with Dad’s life choices.

We’re turning into those movies we’ve seen..!! 😰 (Also happy wife with depressed daughter, if dad vegetates immersed in that chair toy he’s gonna die from malnutrition. But hey, lol.)

philosophers only want one thing and it's fucking discussing

Free and available to the public: Timothy Snyder’s 10-lecture series, “Hitler and Stalin Today.” Thank you, University of Toronto, for sharing. 🙏

Sorry, no. If they tried to bring this thing in to my kid's school by the end of the day all you'd find is a pile of bolts and a plastic wig
