Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin co-authored the line: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..."

Yet equality remains an elusive ideal 250 years after they wrote it down. And, America, I think we should still make that a reality.

I hope it's self-evident that black people really are just looking for equality and not revenge--to paraphrase the immortal words of Kimberly Jones. Look at all the race massacres in the last 250 years and you'll see that we have a clean record. (Except for that one time when Nat Turner had to bust a move.)

In the next 250 years, we will continue to demand and fight for equal opportunity, equal justice, and equal treatment for all. Even it feels like "reverse discrimination" to some of your citizens.

But.

It.

Ain't.

Flock cameras read license plates and capture people. Some always listen for distress sounds via AI microphones. Freeform AI finds specific vehicles through plain English searches while drones respond in under a minute.

This builds ongoing tracking as AI zooms on phones and faces during daily activities and collects device signals to form persistent individual profiles across locations.

Departments adopt it quickly, often unaware of camera versions, while unencrypted data leaks and cameras appear at beach entrances and playgrounds.

Flock CEO Garrett Langley calls mapping terrorists yet officers have stalked exes with hundreds of queries, leaving people with no recourse against the surveillance.

Again, friend of mine,

But anyways, we really all need to start adopting what they were doing in Minnesota, by not only documenting everything, but also blowing whistles, and organizing to deliver groceries to our vulnerable neighbors,

And organizing boycotts with our neighbors instead, because that’s what needed to make this all stop.

Flock systems use cameras in public spaces to scan license plates and record video that streams into cloud servers. Authorized accounts can then search and view footage from any connected camera at any time.

The platform automatically logs every search and viewing session. These records show exactly which accounts accessed which cameras and when, creating a running history of internal activity across the network.

Cities install the cameras through public safety contracts that claim to restrict access. Company employees can still reach the feeds directly, and the full access logs usually remain hidden unless someone specifically requests them.

Audit logs have already documented company staff viewing cameras at schools, playgrounds, and inside a Jewish community center. Residents have almost no practical way to monitor or limit this kind of internal access once the systems are running.

​

​

— Internal access logs contradict public claims of restricted viewing and show company employees monitoring sensitive community locations.

Cómo el Capítulo 312 del Código Fiscal de Texas otorgó un corredor de infraestructura de IA valorado en 5.000 millones de dólares a un promotor privado sin consultar a la comunidad, sin revelar el volumen de extracción de agua y sin contabilizar los costes para la red eléctrica.
