‘New research from Georgetown Law's Center on Privacy and Technology estimates that the Department of Homeland Security has become the largest single source of new genetic profiles in the nation's criminal DNA system, with ICE alone potentially adding as many as roughly 920,000 profiles in 2025.’

WIRED

Internal documents show ICE's DNA collection has skyrocketed in the second Trump administration. Now, the genetic information of hundreds of thousands of people never convicted of a crime–including children–are held in an FBI criminal database forever.

“At the time, Flock strongly denied such direct access by federal agencies existed. Eventually, Flock came clean: CBP did have direct access, as part of a pilot program. So did ICE.”

Jonathan Paz’s job was to convince cities to buy Flock cameras. After initially being enthusiastic about the company, he started to get disillusioned.

Nice to see a segment from John Oliver discussing the invasive and frequently erroneous surveillance tech being weaponized against the public. “In one case, stingray tech was used to track down someone who stole 15 chicken wings.”

DeFlock

For a "Non-Issue", sure seems to be a lot of people talking about Flock, ALPRs, AI Cameras, and all of the issues surrounding them. 🤔 #Flock #Axon #DeFlock #Surveillance www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnBP...

They know it’s not a hoax. They’ve always known. This is the way they’ve chosen to address the “global security issues” that have been clearly laid out for years. #climatecrisis

“A subsidiary of private prison titan GEO Group, BI Inc. manages ICE's "Alternatives to Detention" program, a $2.2 billion contract that tracks nearly 200,000 people daily. They build the ankle monitors, run the SmartLINK app, and manufacture the VeriWatch wrist trackers.”

Anti-ICE advocates rallied outside the DHS office near Cincinnati after Haitians losing TPS were summoned for mandatory check-ins. Protesters report officials are fitting people with ankle monitors and issuing new court dates. Community members stand united against these aggressive tactics!

Imagine this at scale in communities. “…Charlotte’s Blueberry Park in the South End is the only free food forest in Tacoma, where anyone can come and forage not only blueberries but things like plums, persimmons, herbs, hazelnuts, figs and walnuts...”

The News Tribune

The 20-acre park is home to more than 3,372 blueberry shrubs, with five different varieties in South Tacoma.

“To be in Silicon Valley and to be for not using it for the military is very difficult now, because all the venture capital money, the heads of the industry, that’s what they’re pushing,” says William Hartung, senior research fellow for the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

In These Times

The AI boom is also a military buildup. @sarahlazare.bsky.social reports on the Pentagon money reshaping Silicon Valley, and the tech workers risking their jobs to resist the use of their labor for surveillance, detention and war.

Bumping this up in light of the California Forever discourse I’ve been seeing.

Jenny Cohn

Pronomos Capital—backed by Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, & Nate Fischer—supports the construction of crypto-based charter cities. The Pronomos website lists its projects—including Prospera—& links to a substack, which says that “Próspera could be a multi-jurisdictional ‘network state’” by 2040. 1/

As the impact of climate change worsens and parts of the world become uninhabitable, it would be preferable to view each other all as human, rather than as an extension of national boundaries. We can create a world where we work together to take care of each other and the planet.

I missed that Palantir and Anduril employees are now formally providing U.S. diplomats with advice "on digital freedom and freedom of expression." www.state.gov/current-part...
