Happy to see all of new gov't surveillance operations tracked at one central location. Hope they include government contractors who are paid to do undercover surveillance, which I learned today is a thing.
“The Evidence for Justice Lab, at the Washington, D.C., university’s McCourt School of Public Policy, published the Justice AI Tracker, or JAI-T, documenting where and how AI technologies are being piloted, tested or implemented in law enforcement, courts and corrections.”

"We are supposed to have our constitutional right of the freedom to film, to be a member of the press. I don’t feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press," Georgia Fort said.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Nigerians believe so fiercely in their dignified humanity that it doesn't occur to them that the world hates them because they are Black and they dare to move like dignitaries. Also Nigerians don't understand they are Black and that's why the world hates them.
