People are supposed to help each other. It's the only job worth doing, and we could probably do it a lot more efficiently.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.
The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.

CBS News is state media. This isn't even the usual spin or trying to paper over a political embarrassment we get from biased media, they are literally acting to cover up a concentration camp

Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran CBS news reporter who led the story: “I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight.”
The reality is that she is much more likely to be fired than Weiss, and that should tell you all you need to know about CBS now.

Wrongful convictions happen far too often, propelled by the death penalty’s embedded racism, human error and bias, and political pressure to reach a conviction after serious crimes occur.
As long as the death penalty exists, we risk executing innocent people.

But he contracted chickenpox & died
This is far less common after the chickenpox vaccine reduced the chance of individuals having severe disease & reduced community spread
