The known cases of police using Flock to stalk people are almost certainly a vast underreporting of the overall abuse, because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both.

Everything that just happened was both brutal and expected given how we've seen ISP behave these last few weeks. Saw troopers striking people with batons, dragging protesters. They're currently cuffing someone marked as a medic. Approximately nine people we see in state custody now.

This may be the right decision from a legal standpoint, but what is going to stop them from steamrolling all legality? The damage is being done. The Left keeps losing. www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

I for one feel sorry for #ticketmaster. 34.6% of the ticket price clearly isn't enough of a fee to pay developers to have a working website. Or did #TaylorSwift announce a new tour today that I didn't hear about? #TicketBastard

Given the unabashed, daily hypocrisy from R politicians in particular, Menendez must have kompromat on the very colleagues who would otherwise denounce him. Awareness of their own corruption is different. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social Accusation *and silence* are confessions. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Why won't a single Republican denounce Menendez, even as a majority of Senate Dems do? There's two big reasons: 1) It's hard for anyone in the party of Trump to condemn corruption 2) It's hard for anyone in the party of Trump to condemn being indicted

publicnotice.coThe GOP refusal to condemn Menendez speaks volumesThey like gold bars too.
