#Putin told you didn't win in 2020, and says it's because of #votebymail… …then the topic must be how much you admire his 2018 #InPersonVoting… Ballot-Stuffing Caught On Camera At Russian Polls, March 19, 2018 - polls in many districts marred by irregularities, ballot-box stuffing on video.

How long until these kids figure out that #Putin sold their future to pay for his own, and that his 'New Russian Empire' just means getting a 2nd class citizenship in a #Chinese-run #authoritarian mega-conglomerate? #Russia #Ukraine

So, the 1% lied when they told us if we lowered their taxes and crippled their regulation and oversight that it would help our lives. Go figure.

Somehow #toxicmasculinity doesn't conceptually identify the psychological pit raw self-centered assholishness that the #influencer + #manosphere + #metaverse combo has come to represent.

Art of the deal, amirite?

Oregon is worst for funding road maintenance, and has 2 of the 3 most expensive highway expansion projects in the nation. Hardly a coincidence. cityobservatory.org/bankrupt-a-3... oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/09/18/o...

ODOT finally admits its not on track to meet climate goals, but falsely blames others, not its own failing policies, including wasting billions to expand highways. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/09/16/o... cityobservatory.org/wrong-way-od...

You can read all the details in my write-up, which also shows exactly where in this public dataset you can find all of this micahflee.com/flock-camera...

HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.

This Flock camera is running obsolete, end-of-life software. - It's on Android 8.1, released in 2017, support ended in 2021 - It's on Android patch level 2018-06-5 - It's running Linux 3.18, released in 2017 This shit is like 8 or 9 years old, and full of vulnerabilities.

I tracked down the very likely specific Flock camera itself. It's in Wauwatosa, a suburb of Milwaukee. Here's a photo of it from Google Street View. The GPS coordinates were in the logs

I've got a lot of work to do today but I'm getting absolutely nerdsniped by the new Flock dataset. You can download it here. It's all of the Android partitions extracted from a Flock device ddosecrets.org/article/floc...

Affording actual equal rights to those pictured below would really move the needle: the big and heavy users literally infringe on the space and safety of others without commensurate cost. Wonder where #ODOT funding goes? To freebies like road repair for the heaviest of users.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

This is an illegal and dangerous power grab and must be blocked immediately. Let me be clear: Voting by mail is safe and secure. Oregon and I will be fighting back. Stay loud.

I voted NO on today’s funding bill.  I will not act like business as usual while our President sabotages our elections and our ability to vote by mail. Stay loud.

After the mid-terms we get an impeachment, then...wait...

Too many lives, too, cut short by ill-defined traffic grey zones where might makes right, and bigger and heavier means might and dominance. **All road users** need #equalrights and protections, Mayor.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
