My family has been Republican for as long as I can remember which since our farm straddles the Kentucky/Tennessee border has some significance.
Anyways, I drifted away from the party starting long ago as I attempted to get the U.S. to finally start taking #ClimateAction, but to be honest political party affiliation was just never really a thing that was discussed until Trump.
I just told my family that I better understand the way the Civil War tore families apart.
Graham Smith, the (arrested) Chief Executive of #Republic:
“There is no longer a right to peaceful protest in the UK,...I have been told many times the monarch is there to defend our freedoms. Now our freedoms are under attack in his name.”
"Were the UK government facing serious and widespread civil unrest, and the prospect of a popular uprising, would its "secret" technologies be anything to worry about? How would it be possible to organise effective resistance against a close-to-omniscient state adversary?"
A little-known multi-agency drug war group runs thousands of #facialrecognition scans and other #surveillance operations. We found over 37,000 requests for support, connecting at least 233 #lawenforcement organizations in #Minnesota and beyond.
Civil rights advocates in MN foresaw this problem. Munira Mohamed @ ACLUMN advocated for banning facial recognition in Mpls: “If you pass a local law curtailing police abuse, how do you know they can’t skirt around that with the help of another agency?” #minneapolis#minneapolispolice#aclu#civilliberties
