UK thugs did an announced test of facial recognition, and mistreated people who tried to cover their faces.

Some requirements about certain algorithms might be feasible to implement, and then one could discuss whether they are good or bad.

Seattle warns NYC: Amazon will do the city harm.

This is over and above the harm of the payment to Amazon to come and do that.

Climate defense: "the fight for what's left and the people who get left with it."

I think things are a little better than the article presents it. It is not quite true to say that the enemy "is us" — rather, it is a system, which we are part of, but which is effectively controlled by the plutocracy.

Canadian thugs have arrested indigenous protesters that were blocking pipeline construction teams from entering their land.

Under the principle of necessity, they would be justified in destroying the construction equipment, since it is being used to bring about mass murder.

Murder, per se, is not their immediate goal, but that changes nothing — building fossil fuel infrastructure will kill hundreds of millions, and any reasonable person should know that. How many of those millions would be due to this pipeline, if it is completed, is a question we don't need to answer.
