🚨 A 92‑year‑old grandma is dead, the street‑camera video shows the Orlando cop caused the crash, the police report says he’s at fault… and prosecutors still shrugged and decided to not charge the officer. Accountability isn’t “complicated.” It’s just avoided.

Texas is now the first state to require all public school students to read religious texts. That new reading list includes nursery rhymes and Hamlet but only Christian and Jewish texts, despite about 1/3 of Texans belonging to neither of those religions. texasobserver.org/state-bibl…

🚨THE FLOCK BAIT & SWITCH More and more cities dumping Flock. Are they dumping mass surveillance or UPGRADING it to Axon? Did a LOT of research into what’s happening with the “Dump Flock” movement and the accelerating switch to Axon. Lots of facts & numbers below. HOW AXON GOT HERE That company our cops bought TASERs & body cams from for decades has morphed into an enormous integrated police-tech ecosystem:. Examples: street surveillance. ALPR. Private CCTV integration. Drones. 911. Cop GPS. Body cams. Dash cams. TASERs. Evidence cloud. AI analysis. AI-written police-report drafts. Records. Increasingly one company connecting the whole trip from 911 call to courtroom. And the ability to tie everything to everything in the entire process via AI. 1993: AIR TASER founded by Rick & Tom Smith to commercialize a non-firearm redesign of Jack Cover’s TASER. 1ST AIR TASER: 1994. 2008: 1ST major expansion beyond TASERs. Axon Pro body cam+digital evidence software. Cameras become data. Data becomes the business. 2013–23: Axon becomes a whole ecosystem. Cloud evidence. Ever-more-sophisticated body cams. In-cop-car cams. Automatic voice recognition transcription. Records management. ALPR. Real-time operations. Axon Body adds livestreaming, cop location & automated alerts. Body cam becomes a networked sensor worn by the cop. Half the evidence room is packed into the system. 2024: FUSUS. Axon buys all. Combined acquisition-date value roughly $305M. Real-time crime center platform. Live fixed cams. Body cams. ALPR. Drones. City cameras. Transit cameras. Participating private cameras. Third-party systems. Other sensors. One interface. The surveillance system grows. 2024: DRAFT ONE. Generative-AI police-report drafting from body-cam audio. Audio uploads. Automatic transcription. Draft narrative generated within minutes. Cop reviews, edits & signs. Reports don’t literally file themselves. But AI now writes the 1ST draft. Also 2024: DEDRONE. Drone detection. Airspace surveillance. Drone-as-First-Responder expansion. Axon building upward as well as outward. 2025–26: FIXED ALPR. Axon Outpost + Lightpost. Now a direct Flock competitor. Smaller fixed cams + streetlight-mounted units + livestreaming + ALPR + vehicle recognition, plugged into the larger Axon/Fusus ecosystem. Investigate WHY your city is dumping Flock. Some cities are sincerely dumping Flock and fighting mass surveillance. Others are putting potato sacks over Flock cameras and cosplaying with public outcry while top cops hustle cities hard toward an upgraded Axon surveillance contract in the background. Both things are happening. More tech. 2025: PREPARED. Axon buys AI-powered 911 company for about $640M. Call audio. Text. Video. GPS. Real-time language translation. AI intelligence. Already serving 1K+ agencies in 49 states and metastasizing. 2026: CARBYNE. $625M acquisition completed. Cloud-native 911 infrastructure serving hundreds of agencies. Prepared + Carbyne become AXON 911. Cloud call handling. Caller data. Transcription. Translation. AI summaries. Real-time intelligence. All connected to the ever-growing Axon universe. Axon can now enter the chain before a cop is dispatched and remain in it through response, surveillance, evidence, investigation, AI report drafting, records & court. Axon coined the corporate scripture of “call to Closure” to describe this process. Total police state closure. WHAT AXON CAN ACTUALLY SURVEIL NOW Fixed ALPR. Mobile ALPR built into patrol cars. Body cams. In-car video. City CCTV. Transit CCTV. Participating private/business cameras. Real-time crime centers. Cop GPS/location. Livestreaming. Drones/DFR. Drone detection. 911 calls & associated data. Digital evidence. Records. Automatic transcription. Real-time language translation. AI video/evidence analysis. AI police-report drafting. And they have a killer new ALPR package. "Fleet 3" turns the patrol fleet into roaming plate readers. Cops don’t need fixed Flocks on their goofy lampposts anymore. Fleet 3 outdoes them exponentially. Comes with dedicated 4K sensors. Reads 3 traffic lanes simultaneously. Compares plates against hotlists. Uploads reads into Axon’s cloud. ALPR collection continues whenever enabled Fleet 3 is powered up, even if ordinary alerts are suspended. Old Flock system: Big clumsy fixed camera on pole upsetting suburbia into protests. Limited system. Cars pass pole. Camera reads plates. Data goes to database mothership. Pretty much the end. It can be accessed but cops are getting busted all day long for channeling the system from outside. No more embarrassed cops with a fully integrated Axon ecosystem. New Axon ecosystem: every equipped patrol car can read plates wherever it drives. Outpost + Lightpost add fixed coverage. Fusus pulls ALPR, camera, drone, body-cam & other sensor feeds together. Axon says Fleet 3 had already accumulated 8.1 BILLION LICENSE-PLATE READS by April 2025. FUSUS is the glue. One real-time interface integrating Axon gear AND 3rd-party systems. Public cameras. Participating private cameras. Body cams. Drones. ALPR. Sensors. CAD. Evidence. Early 2025: Fusus already supporting millions of livestreams annually across 2K+ agencies. And non-police private cameras. Business, school, church, apartment complex, etc. are going under contract to allow its existing camera network to connect to Axon Fusus. It is called Fusus CORE. Police electronically request your Ring footage from small business. And they tap into more than they are under contract allowed to tap into beyond that. CITIES DUMPING FLOCK & LOOKING TO AXON Denver, CO: dumped Flock. Approved 50 Axon ALPR cams. $150K. 1-year contract. Durango, CO: no more Flock. Switching ALPR to Axon. Previously access to 21 Flock cams. Chief specifically cited integration with Axon body cams + in-car systems already in use. Pasco County, FL: sheriff replacing Flock with Axon. Explicit reason: already uses Axon body cams, TASERs & evidence management. Now integrate ALPR into the existing Axon system. Abington Township, PA: commissioners considered a 5-year Axon agreement to replace Flock with Axon cameras + ALPR. Moorhead, MN: 7 Flock Falcons. Now testing Axon Outpost + Lightpost + Vehicle Intelligence. Proposed 5-year package: about $136K. City hasn’t approved the switch yet. Cops want it. Boston, MA: stopped using Flock. Did NOT stop ALPR. Moved to pilots involving Motorola & Axon. The list keeps growing. Some communities under public pressure really ARE dismantling ALPR surveillance. For now. Others are dumping one surveillance vendor and shopping for a more invasive one. Watch the language. “WE GOT RID OF FLOCK” DOES NOT MEAN “WE GOT RID OF ALPR.” And watch your police chief. If the chief is publicly celebrating the end of Flock, find the procurement documents online. Find out what the department is asking the city to buy next. Cops don’t give up their toys unless they get shinier newer ones. Axon has an enormous advantage. Departments already love its gear. Many already live inside its ecosystem. Stuff Axon long sold for decades such as…TASER. Body cam. Dash cam. Evidence. Fleet. Add ALPR. Add Fusus. Add drones. Add Draft One. Add Records. Add 911. Each new piece talks to the others now. 911 call. Street cams. Participating private cams. Plate read. Drone. Patrol car. Cop GPS. Body cam. TASER activation cams. Arrest. Interview. Evidence upload. AI transcription. AI-drafted report. Records. Investigation. Courtroom. Axon has it all and integrates and writes the report for the cop who only has to sign it. Axon itself calls what it is building the “largest global ecosystem of connected public safety devices and services.” Believe them when they threaten that. We must start paying very close attention to exactly what our cities are buying. AXON BEHIND THE WALLS Axon now markets an integrated corrections ecosystem for jails & prisons: body cams. TASER 10. Fusus. Facility cameras & sensors. AI monitoring. Drones. Perimeter surveillance. Cell extractions. Prisoner transport. Federal corrections too. And in July 2026, ICE awarded Axon a $13.1M sole-source body-camera order for its Office of Firearms & Tactical Programs. That is another big topic I will document in another long post. Lots of links below. Spread this info far and wide.

Netanyahu brought a beeper to the UNGA: You remember the beepers? Remember these things? Remember them? Well, I can tell you this, Hezbollah certainly remembers them.

Zohran Mamdani responds to Netanyahu: “As he has done time and again, Prime Minister Netanyahu used his speech to repeat baseless lies meant to sanitize his genocide of Palestinians. Yet no lie can change the fact that he remains the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

next ask him why he's having fundraisers with an AIPAC spook

TALARICO: “The richest 1% now owns more wealth than the entire middle class. 3 dudes (Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos) now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined… they aren’t just buying yachts and jets anymore. They’re now buying power.” 🇺🇸 (From @TeamTalaricoHQ)

Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry. We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details. We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again. Read more here: about.doordash.com/en-us/new….

Esteban Ruiz-Haynes says he bets on sports every day, wagering as much as or more than his annual salary. Despite losing five figures over five years, he tells @JimAxelrod he compares gambling to “crack in the ’80s,” saying once you get the fix, “you gotta get it again.” cbsnews.com/news/sports-bett…

🚨NEW from @AP: ICE is now electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

BOMBSHELL: As part of a propaganda campaign over the past two days, the Israeli army circulated an old photo claiming its soldiers had helped an elderly Palestinian woman in Rafah, southern Gaza. Now, an Israeli investigation reveals a very different story: an officer from the Nahal Brigade’s 50th Battalion shot and killed the elderly Palestinian woman.

BREAKING: I just signed an EXECUTIVE ORDER to dramatically accelerate independent oversight of AI companies and advance the creation of an “AI kill switch.” With Donald Trump and Congress failing to lead, California is stepping up to keep all Americans safe.
