New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

According to Google's AI yesterday...
'For the Rapture, a snack like trail mix, jerky, or hardtack is best, offering a long shelf life and portability, according to a Lee's Market Jerky blog, which also suggests canned goods and bouillon cubes for sustenance during extended periods.'

Our work is not done…

📌 Sinclair Broadcast Group is still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates nationwide.

Folks, you know what to do.

Google Sinclair-owned networks and channels in your city and act accordingly.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

"In case you haven't noticed, GOOGLE has eliminated its primary search portal for climate and environmental news.
The entire tech world is buckling to Trump, largely because they need more energy to power their AI and cybercurrency data farms."

How do we fight this?
