Okay, who had “literal amazon spy drones” on their 2020 bingo square?

This is your reminder that Amazon has formed a partnership with over 600 police departments to share data gathered by Ring cameras. Amazon is sponsoring the surveillance state and now they’re going to be able to form an aerial map of your house and your neighbors’ houses.

Ring has a history of approaching local neighborhood watch groups and HOAs to convince residents to use Amazon surveillance systems at little or no cost to homeowners - PLEASE make an effort to participate in local community groups like HOA boards or get to know your neighbors in apartment buildings or go to local city council meetings and PLEASE speak against the unregulated expansion of surveillance systems and the erosion of individual privacy.

“I don’t want Amazon to know when my kids get off school to go play, or what toys they want in the back yard. I don’t want Amazon to learn my work schedule based on when my car is in the driveway. I don’t want the police to request footage of my yard to issue fines for improper vehicle storage. I don’t want an automated camera filming my daughter in the swimming pool.”

Make the argument that even people who don’t have anything to hide don’t want a camera on a pole recording the things they do in their homes.

Since pretty much no major news sites (at least in the US) are covering it, please look into how Julian Assange, who isn’t an american citizen, will most likely be approved to be extradited to the United States, where if he’s found guilty he’ll spend the rest of his life in prison at best, and be tortured to death at worst.

While he himself hasn’t hacked into or stolen anything, he’s the man behind wikileaks, which revealed a lot of unsavory information about the United States government- including the barbaric torture of political prisoners and their families, the cold blooded, deliberate murder of iraqi civilians and two Reuters journalists (and the subsequent coverup), the active participation in genocide in yemen, and how the CIA uses smartphones, TVs, and cars to spy on their owners.

While the official ruling won’t be announced until January 4th of next year, he never had a chance at winning the extradition trial- it was purely for show. He’s spent the last years being constantly monitored and bugged- all his meetings with his lawyers have been recorded. He was also kept in a glass cage during the trial, usually reserved for dangerously violent offenders, preventing him from speaking with his legal team.

If/when he’s extradited to the United States, he will absolutely be found guilty of the charges against him and die in prison. This is an incredibly dangerous precendent- a journalist who isn’t and has never been an American citizen, will essentially be put to death for helping expose America’s crimes. Notice the silence around this from everyone- you’re not going to hear about this on CNN, or read about it in the newspaper, or see either of the presidential candidates tweeting about him, except maybe to condemn him. This is a deliberate silence, and if we don’t take it upon ourselves to learn about the blood our government has on its hands and spread that information to others, it’ll go unnoticed- which is exactly what they want. Be aware. Be angry.
