Technology like Flock and Ring doesn’t make people safer, it just subjects them to a round-the-clock warrantless digital dragnet. “Privacy isn’t dangerous, but giving privacy up for a false sense of security is very dangerous,” EFF’s Jennifer Pinsof told @CNBC.com. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/...

This is the framing all news media should be using,

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

I don't watch their shit programming now, and it's free.
And I wouldn't watch the dumbed-down, both-sidesist, deluded garbage if they paid me.

Oh noooo 😮
What will Argentina do without the U.S. and their greedy corporations to:
• Strip all of their natural resources,
• Poison their land and water,
• Starve people off of their land and then work them for slave wages, and
• Extract all of the nation's wealth for their shareholders??

Then insurance companies will make this your only primary care provider option.
