Cities are Replacing Flock with Axon / Motorola for their Mass Surveillance Network
Flock Safety became the protested brand. Axon Enterprise now sells Outpost and Lightpost readers that livestream and feed Axon Fusus; Fleet cameras scan plates from patrol cars. Motorola Solutions bought VaaS for $445 million in 2019 and kept Vigilant Solutions and Digital Recognition Network. The vendor changes, the mass surveillance network remains.
Cameras are not the only issue with surveillance systems like these. These devices can also log Audio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RFID and other signals your devices broadcast. Then they fuse data collected without warrants with commercial data-broker records and "AI", to create a comprehensive database of everyone surveiled, who everyone is, what that are doing, and what they "will do".
These are not just cameras or license plate readers, this is a surveillance network. It's a violation of privacy and the 4th amendment. And we should not let this happen.

"Because you're an immigrant." A U.S. citizen in was immediately handcuffed by ICE Fascists for simply asking why he needed to show his ID. (Lake Worth, FL, 08/21/26)
A video recorded at a gas station in Lake Worth, Florida, shows an ICE/Border Patrol demanding ID from a U.S. citizen. When the citizen asks why, the agent responds, "Because you're an immigrant." Before even verifying his identity, fascists grab his hands and place him in handcuffs. Bystanders immediately step in to question how someone can be arrested without even being identified first, but the fascists ignore them and walk the man to their vehicle.
This encounter highlights a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. Requiring someone to prove their citizenship before being handcuffed, based solely on an arbitrary claim, demonstrates a concerning violation of constitutional rights by a paramilitary acting without accountability.

5 people resisted a third country deportation to Liberia, American fascists forced them off the plane, but eventually returned them to the aircraft. (08/20/26, Monrovia, Liberia)
In total, 20 deportees arrived at Roberts International Airport, Liberia on Thursday afternoon.
Fifteen others got off the flight and are now somewhere in Liberia, a third country that they are not from.
Deportation flights have become well-known for being as excruciating in their conditions as the internment camps.
"The five men were part of the first group of deportees to be sent to the West African nation by the Trump administration. The Liberian government has not clarified their status."

Omaha Police Deploy G.L.O.V.E. Electroshock Gloves for School Resource Officers as ICE Plans Parallel Acquisition
Video Source
https://reddit.com/comments/1vqawj0The G.L.O.V.E., or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, is a wearable electroshock device manufactured by Compliant Technologies of Lexington, Kentucky. Omaha Police Department purchased 40 pairs for approximately $66,000 after City Council approval in June 2025. School resource officers wear the gloves and activate electric pulses through palm pads by grip pressure. The dual-use vector is the same pain-compliance architecture now under DHS solicitation for ICE agents at up to $20 million.
For students this means exposure to directed electric pain in middle and high schools. The right in tension is bodily autonomy. The pattern follows prior less-lethal expansions justified by de-escalation. OPD has recorded two uses with zero reported injuries; expansion remains under evaluation.
At scale the capability normalizes contact electroshock in educational settings and federal enforcement. Verify via City Council records and DHS notices. Scrutiny of procurement transparency and use-of-force policies is the immediate response.

Hands Off NYC Mobilizes Local Businesses Against Federal Raids, New Yorkers should text sighting details to 1-229-304-8720
Video source
https://reddit.com/comments/1vq9l9sNEW YORK. Community resistance against federal immigration enforcement is actively expanding its operational footprint across New York City. The grassroots coalition Hands Off NYC is systematically canvassing commercial corridors from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to Staten Island to train local businesses on how to counter federal operations. The initiative is part of a coordinated, citywide effort to establish a unified baseline of noncompliance when ICE agents enter private or public spaces.
The hotline is active seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM and offers support in both English and Spanish. Dispatchers request that witnesses provide SALUTE details (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, and Equipment) and include a photograph if it can be acquired safely. This centralized reporting mechanism allows the community to verify enforcement actions, map federal movements, and issue rapid tactical alerts to surrounding neighborhoods.

TST’S GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE PROTEST
https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/the-satanic-temple-s-guidelines-for-effective-protest1. Protest is an act of free speech, and protesters must respect free speech.
2. Have a clearly articulated position with tenable demands and a practical well-defined statement for what constitutes achieving your goals.
3. Effective protest is founded on a legitimate theory of change that is exemplified by the structure of IF I do X, THEN Y will happen BECAUSE Z.
4. Protest must be based on a principle as opposed to identity politics. Everyone benefits from the pursuit of well-conceived principles.
5. Stay focused on specific issues and do not adopt issues that you think are analogously related.
6. Stand for issues and principles – do not reflexively support the entire agenda of parties, organizations, or individuals.
7. Do not allow narratives to prevail over facts.
8. Restrict your movement to people who believe in the principles of your movement.
9. If your protest calls for the deprivation of rights and liberties of others, intimidates others, harasses or threatens others, silences others, then you are an enemy of freedom no matter what the justification.
10. Engaging in, promoting, inciting, and/or celebrating physical violence that deliberately targets civilians is never justifiable.

Ahead of Another Summer of Climate Disasters, Let’s Talk about Real Solutions
"#Capitalism has no future on this planet. We will need a far-reaching revolution to address this crisis."
#CrimeThinc, May 8, 2024
"The mainstream climate movement begins from a premise that guarantees failure. Not just failure. Catastrophe. And the more effective it is, the more harm it will cause.
Let’s explore why.
"When people think of environmentalism these days, they are likely to picture civil disobedience in the streets, media activism, enthusiastic lobbying, and conferences aiming to set global goals for carbon emissions—all under the leadership of non-governmental organizations, academics, and progressive politicians. Ecological struggle, however, has always also included anti-capitalist and anti-colonial currents, and these currents have been getting stronger, more dynamic, and better connected over the past couple decades.
T"hat growth, however, has not been without setbacks, often caused by intense targeted repression that leaves movements exhausted and traumatized, like the #GreenScare that began in 2005 and the repression of #StandingRock and other #Indigenous-led #AntiPipeline movements a decade later.
"Systematically, at precisely the moments when radical currents are licking their wounds, the predominantly white, middle-class vision of environmentalism takes the stage and pushes the entire conversation in reformist directions.
"The actual crisis we are facing is a complex ecological crisis, in which police killings, repressive laws, ongoing histories of #colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy, #HabitatLoss,#LandGrabs, food cultures, human health, #urbanism, borders, and wars are all entangled. The leadership of the environmental movement has made the strategic decision to reduce all of this to a question of climate—the climate crisis—and to recenter the state as the protagonist, as our potential savior. This means centering the #ParisAgreement and the #COP summits as the solution to the problem, and using performative #activism and #CivilDisobedience to demand policy shifts and investment in support of green energy."

#DiabloCanyon #NuclearPowerPlant brings #profits for PG&E, deadly risk for residents [and the #environment]
Tina Landis
August 19, 2024"Despite opposition from residents and #environmental organizations, California legislators passed #SenateBill846 in 2022 to extend the life of the dangerous, aging Diablo Canyon #nuclear facility.
"Located on the Central Coast surrounded by several #fault lines, one has to question why a nuclear facility was placed in an #earthquake zone to begin with, much less allowing it to continue to operate well past its retirement date. The world witnessed what can happen to a coastal nuclear facility in an earthquake zone when the 2011 #Fukushima disaster triggered a meltdown that displaced nearly half a million residents, with vast amounts of #RadioactiveWater still being released into the ocean today.
"As long as Diablo Canyon remains open, Californians live with the constant risk of suffering the same type of disaster.
"From its inception, Diablo Canyon had little public support. Protests occurred regularly during its construction, and thousands were arrested for #CivilDisobedience actions in 1981.
"In the 1970s and 1980s, California’s three largest utilities spent billions of dollars building dangerous and costly nuclear plants like Diablo Canyon, which resulted in skyrocketing rates for customers. Big industry fought back against these increased energy costs, which resulted in deregulation bills consisting of multi-billion dollar #bailouts to the state’s utility companies to cover their costly investments in nuclear.
"Today, the last remaining nuclear plant operating in the state is still draining billions in funds that could be used for safe, #renewable energy development. To keep Diablo Canyon running 5 years past its retirement date is expected to cost $8 billion to $12 billion. A federal aid package of $1.1 billion will contribute to some of those costs – meaning federal #taxpayers’ money – while the remaining billions will be passed on to #California #ratepayers.
"Despite being run by PG&E and only generating power for its territory, customers of #SouthernCaliforniaEdison and #SanDiegoGasAndElectric will help cover the remaining costs of the Diablo extension. Edison bills will increase by around $1.25 a month and SDG&E by 87 cents a month, while PG&E customers are expected to chip in $2.07 a month – and that’s just for the first year. Critics warn that costs are likely to increase in coming years to keep the plant running, and that’s on top of already skyrocketing PG&E rates that have doubled over the last decade. And if PG&E collects more funds than are needed for Diablo’s operations, they get to keep it!
"In 2022, when legislators pushed this through #SB846, the excuse of energy shortages was used due to pandemic-related supply chain issues and massive #wildfires. But today, there is plenty of energy being produced with increased #solar and #battery storage capacity that has kept the lights on even during this summer’s unprecedented heat waves driving up demand. The California Public Utility Commission’s own reporting shows that an additional 18,500 megawatts of new resources were added to the grid between 2020 and 2024, which is enough to power around 14 million homes. Another 11,000 megawatts will be added by 2028.
"Nuclear has the third highest lifecycle emissions of all energy sources after scrubbed #coal fired plants and natural gas – meaning it is far from being zero-emission. It also creates the unresolved issue of the #RadioactiveWaste which remains dangerous for tens of thousands to millions of years.
"Keeping the Diablo facility running will only hold back further development of safe and truly low-carbon, low cost renewable sources like solar and #wind energy.
"So why isn’t Diablo Canyon being decommissioned? The short answer is that #capitalism must ensure continued profits for the #InvestorClass.
"SB 846 authorized Diablo’s extension through 2030, and gave PG&E a $1.4 billion loan for the for-profit utility to facilitate the plant’s extension. #GovernorNewsom facilitated another transfer of taxpayer dollars to PG&E through an additional $400 million loan from the state’s general fund, included in the recent budget deal. Critics warn that these 'loans' will never be repaid, meaning residents will be fully subsidizing the Diablo extension – from federal and state tax dollars to our utility fees.
"But there is a way out. SB 846 allows the #CPUC to retire the plant earlier than 2030 if sufficient levels of new renewable zero-carbon energy resources exist, are interconnected, and meet demand, which is the case.
"CPUC has a long track record of serving PG&E’s interests, so intervention by the commission is unlikely. One example of many that demonstrates their close relationship: CPUC is not requiring PG&E to show how much of our utility bill actually goes to the Diablo extension, but instead lumps the cost in with 'public purpose programs,' making it impossible to determine.
"While communities are demanding an early shutdown of Diablo, PG&E is currently applying for a 20-year license renewal from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission [#NRC] for the facility, which is expected to be approved. This would mean customers will foot the bill to keep this dangerous nuclear facility running through 2045, far beyond the original expiration dates of 2024 and 2025.
"CPUC has proven their unwavering support time and again for PG&E’s monopoly control over the state’s energy system at the expense of residents’ safety and affordable rates. The Diablo Canyon nuclear plant is just another mechanism to squeeze ratepayers and line the pockets of shareholders who live far away from the dangers posed by this aging facility. Only a public takeover of this #corrupt utility can win clean, safe and affordable energy for all."
