These sicko billionaires and their “customers” are monitoring our children on playgrounds and leaving the feed open for any perv to watch. 😡
This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required.

"hi, my name is TK, my ZIP is TK, my phone is TK. I'm calling to express alarm about the impending ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. This is a top priority for me and my loved ones. If this goes through, young people will die. Please fight for these vulnerable kids"

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
