This DC stuff is #Trump practicing, if you will, for a declaration of #martiallaw. It's coming sooner rather than later.
A reminder as the Local Police beats the shit out of everyone!

This country ain't nothin but a company's dream
A couple hundred thousand workers that's all that they see
Our hands on our tools, money writing the rules
From the sweatshop prisons to the cops in the schools
SMUD - an appropriate name for the electric company conducting surveillance for the police.
The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed
https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk
Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive surveillance operation that generated $94 million in fines. This explosive investigation reveals how SMUD transformed smart meters into government spy devices, monitoring when you shower, sleep, or use appliances.
Innocent homeowners faced armed police raids for using electricity to power medical equipment or mine cryptocurrency. One resident was forced outside in his underwear at gunpoint, while another disabled veteran was threatened with arrest for refusing warrantless entry. The surveillance threshold dropped dramatically from 7,000 to just 2,800 kilowatt hours per month, making air conditioning use suspicious in Sacramento's brutal heat.
Internal documents expose how SMUD analysts actively mined customer data for police, checking over 10,000 homes in a single month. Despite California law explicitly prohibiting utilities from sharing precise meter data without warrants, SMUD violated these protections daily for a decade.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide. With the October 2025 court decision approaching, every American with a smart meter needs to understand how their utility company might be spying on them right now.

LAWYER: Is a #DashCam Really Worth It?
1. The Con's of using a #dash #camera and how you can put yourself #atrisk when doing so,
2. The Pro's of using a dash camera to stop #cops and hold them accountable, and
3. The #legalrules you MUST know when recording #police and whether you must keep the recordings or face #criminalcharges when cops don't like you recording them.
#Carceralists often say "what about #shootings" as an argument against #PoliceAbolition. But we'd be better off without #cops, even then.
Worst case scenario, shooters would kill only the people they're actually after. That's still terrible, but they wouldn't have to also kill everyone around who might call the cops. They wouldn't even have to keep the #gun.
And that's not even taking into account how a #culture of #policing leads to shootings in the first place.
Rural #Colorado town with less than 10,000 population has hyped up #cowboy #cops whose excessive force incidents are on dramatic rise, far outpacing #Denver...

""Defund the #police" has gotta be one of most unhinged liberal #ideas. You're telling me you recognise the #harm #cops do to #communities, across the board, and especially the harm done already marginalised or at-risk #people, and your #solution is to partially reduce the amount of resources we funnel to the source of #harm. Let's also #defund #concentrationcamps, but we can't get rid of them entirely, that would be #anarchy!"

And I thought my electric company was bad.
This one is the fucking ops!
A power utility is reporting suspected pot growers to cops. EFF says that’s illegal.
the #cops at the #LAPD training center were handling unexploded ordinances when the explosion occurred and #killed 3 of them. it was the #SEB. they’re reporting on this like this is suspicious criminal act or a potential #terrorist attack or brave line of duty fatalities when in all likelihood it was an act of gross #incompetence. #lol.
