  2. AOC: What does it cost us, and you, as a human being, to look the other way.

    What is it costing us, as human beings and as a society to look the other way when women, and children, and innocent people, and young men of promise, are ripped off the street and thrown into a van and dissapeared and you never see them again. There's what that cost to them, but think about what that costs you to look the other way. What does it cost us as a society that starts to normalize looking the other way. - AOC

    AOC is US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York)
    - May 8, 2026. Here’s the full 5-minutes on YouTube: [We need to Abolish ICE. | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez](youtube.com/watch?v=oyW1x3VjcaI)

    From the youtube description: We need to abolish ICE. What does it cost our humanity to look the other way when women, children, and young men of promise are ripped off the street and disappeared? What does it cost us as a society to normalize looking the other way to such barbarism?

  4. "We're entering an era of automated, turbo-charged assaults on privacy – and as tech companies give the government new AI-driven means of monitoring Americans at a massive scale, we're also seeing a bipartisan resistance from elected leaders to update the privacy rules of engagement for a new future.

    This dynamic was witnessed this past week in the bipartisan passage of an extension to a key spy bill, but also through a deluge of less-publicized privacy-eroding bills collectively defining a new era of government-obtainable user data.

    Evolving Surveillance Threats
    The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, or FISA, has long served as a controversial pillar of how the U.S. conducts surveillance abroad. It allows federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to intercept the digital communications of foreign nationals located outside the United States without warrants, and is one of the most controversial pillars of modern surveillance policy.

    At the center of FISA is a secretive court that reviews and approves government requests to conduct surveillance, without the knowledge of the person being monitored. While intended to target foreign individuals outside the United States, FISA surveillance inevitably sweeps more broadly. Because online networks are global, FISA surveillance can also extend to individuals who are not themselves under investigation. As a result, entirely domestic conversations can be collected, stored, and queried by intelligence agencies without requiring a traditional warrant.

    Despite controversy over FISA, a bipartisan coalition within the U.S. House of Representatives just approved a three-year extension of the spy power program, declining to make any revisions."

  5. "Lawsuit accuses DHS of plugging DNA database into ICE surveillance machine.

    Four protesters are suing to stop the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from seizing DNA samples from Americans arrested while peacefully protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity.

    In a complaint filed in an Illinois district court on Wednesday, protesters arrested at the Broadview ICE facility during “Operation Midway Blitz”—when thousands of federal agents flooded Chicago—demanded an injunction to stop alleged violations of the First and Fourth Amendments, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act.

    They have accused the federal government of “wrongfully arresting peaceful protesters, collecting their DNA, uploading their genetic profiles to government databases, and storing their DNA samples in federal labs—permanently.”

    Out of 92 non-immigration arrests at Broadview, they emphasized, only one protester was convicted. That conviction was based on pleading guilty to concealing a prior felony charge and “had nothing to do with the protests at Broadview,” the protesters said."

  6. RE: mastodon.social/@FerranMClaudi

    #AI threats are so dangerous that we need AI surveillance to counter them, so fuck privacy. And apropos of this #Fortune piece for removing end-to-end encryption, quoting someone who profits from surveillance to explain why surveillance is necessary isn’t journalism, it’s a press release.

  7. "A person can only be born in one place. However, he may die several times elsewhere: in the exiles and prisons, and in a homeland transformed by the occupation and oppression into a nightmare."

  8. #DerekJones was grabbed by a #police officer at a rally against the visiting #Israeli president, #IsaacHerzog. Jones had his hands in the air as two police officers repeatedly punch him.

    Jones is due to become the first protester to launch #legalaction in the #NewSouthWales #supremecourt against police over their conduct at the protest. He plans to file a #personalinjury claim over what he alleges was an #unprovoked #assault.

  9. This Minneapolis puppet show is helping the community process the fascist paramilitary invasion

    Thousands of people gathered in south Minneapolis for the Mayday parade, ceremony and festival on Sunday, May 3. The annual spring celebration was marked by themes of resilience, grief and anti-ICE sentiments.

    The hillside of Powderhorn Park was packed with crowds to watch the Tree of Life Ceremony. The performance is a central part of the annual event and is put on by hundreds of volunteers who create large puppets. Each year’s performance invites the community to celebrate joy and resilience.

    This year’s show depicted a family being separated by federal agents and highlighted the different ways community members came together throughout the recent immigration enforcement operation. South Minneapolis is where federal agents fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January.
