A Texas Cop Searched License Plate Cameras Nationwide for a Woman Who Got an Abortion
The sheriff said the woman self-administered the abortion and her family were concerned for her safety, so authorities searched through Flock cameras. Experts are still concerned that a cop in a state where abortion is illegal can search cameras in others where it's a human right.

Content warning: conspiracism and authoritarianism

ContraPoints' conspiracy video reminded me how conspiracy theories are an outgroth of authoritarian thinking. for an antiauthoritarian, it's often pretty straighforward to look at social dysfunction and see power relations that seem to cause it. but an authoritarian can't do that, they by-and-large drank the kool-aid of government legitimacy. for them, the power itself can't be the problem. the problem must be _who_ is in power.

Whatever is left of our constitutional rights and liberties exists mostly in the gaps between what the government knows about us. This is the beginning of the end. Soon, when conservatives are in charge, they'll make us follow their stupid, puritanical rules whether we like it or not, and when liberals are in charge, well, they'll make us follow [i]their[/i] stupid, puritanical rules whether we like it or not.
