But...

I think what you did is what the future of covering these events needs to be.

Because we can't, how many people tell you, I can't listen to him anymore.

It is very difficult to listen to his voice.

So I liked it more.

Yeah, so we filed a lawsuit on behalf of Maine residents earlier this week because what they are doing is that they are collecting facial recognition data and license plates to follow protesters to their homes.

There was an incident where one of...

The people in the lawsuit, I'll link the complaint online, where an officer essentially held a camera to her face and said, if you keep coming out here, you're going to be put on a domestic terror list and we're coming to your house later.

For just exercising her legal right to observe these agents in a public space.

And this is something that my organization feels very strongly about, is that we have to protect civic public spaces in order to protect elections.

Because if you cannot protect

be out in the streets, not only protesting ICE, but monitoring and recording what these federal agents are doing.

Recording is probably the most important act of resistance that we have right now, because as you know, if there weren't people in the streets of Minnesota, we would not have known how Renee Goode was killed.

We would not have known how Alex Preddy would kill, because Kristi Noem would have got up before those cameras and been believed by too many people when she said that they were domestic terrorists.

So we know this is the game plan, but this whole data collection that DHS appears to be doing as a matter of policy is something that has to be challenged extremely hard.

You know, I think a lot of people are worried about the surveillance resources that are being unfurled by the government because we've given this agency so much money.

There's so much they can do with, you know, the AI stuff that's happening right now.

You see the big dispute that the Department of

war is having with Claude.

And so this is a huge frontier.
