YOURE STANDING UNDER AN AI CAMERA-Poster for print out

  • December 16, 2025 1:05 am

Submission

[Poster PDF]

11×17″ poster available for print out – Text reads “DONT LOOK NOW BUT/ YOU ARE STANDING UNDER AN AI CAMERA- Wait to Look Up/ These cameras are connected to the “Real Time Crime Center”- They have facial recognition software and the ability to zoom in far and track between cameras and blocks/ All this information exists in a cloud- your biometrics being collected are stored & unprotected, available to large tech vendors & nation wide law enforcement-there are thousands of data points across the city/ Cameras are used to gather info to capture immigrants, dissidents, traffic violators & strengthen the school to prison pipeline/ IN A MATTER OF SECONDS THE AVERAGE CITIZEN CAN BECOME AN ENEMY OF THE STATE/ Techno-fascism is here- Destroying the planet and eliminating privacy/Resist and Sabotage that which moves us away from sacred living/ Stay Wild”
The purpose of this campaign is to make individuals aware of how their movements are being tracked around a city and to note where these cameras are being installed- The camera featured in this poster is a Hikvision DS 2CD2385FWD-1, however, most IP camera can be integrated into the RTCC software- It is worth noting that body cameras are also used in these systems. One popular company making equipment for RTCCs and police is Axon. Real Time Crime Centers, aka “The Center” is an egregious new territory of surveillance with terrifying modular options for privacy protections in addition to blurred lines between jurisdictions. It is popping up in cities all over the so called United States. In addition to variables on how and where this information is being stored and who has access to it, it is unclear what data is being collected beyond facial recognition and location tracking and how that technology plans to advance (and how quickly it will advance). It is also unclear how this data will be paired with Shotgun Detection Equipment (discrete microphones placed around cities that are constantly listening and also have ambiguous tech and privacy protections) to further collect data on individuals. Some systems are using generative AI to analyze information and alert authorities/ deploy officers to specific areas. There is reasonable concern that content generate by AI will be used against children as a way punishing/institutionalizing, will deepen racist, classist, transphobic policing and accelerate systemic rights violations.

The following is not connected to RTCC systems but a very real example of AI policing that validates speculation on how AI policing & RTCC could easily be used against children.

<In 2021 the Pasco County School District entered into a secret data-sharing agreement with the local Sheriff’s Office, allowing police access to student information along with records of child abuse, crime victimization and even parental custody disputes. The data was entered into an algorithm developed by cops to predict “prolific criminal offenders”. At height, the program generated scores for 18,000 children. Students with high schools experience police interrogations, arbitrary home visits and exclusionary discipline.>

Let us not forget US administration has bullied public agencies to adopt artificial intelligence to the greatest extent possible through measures such as Executive Order 14179, Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence and Executive Order 14319, Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government as well as the White House AI Action Plan.

Techno-Fascism is no longer based suspicion nor sci-fi diaster fantasy, rather, it is an atrocious attack against autonomy rapidly shaping our everyday lives and strengthening the power of the state. May more people than those on the fringes start fearing Police AI. This technology is currently and widely being used to track immigrants for kidnappings. This is heinous and alludes the probability that it will be used to capture anyone who the states deems undesirable. To what you will with these posters and may you do much more. Burn the panopticon.

Bambule

  • December 1, 2025 1:50 am

from Instagram

Bambule, or 'Riot' as it is roughly translated into English from its original German prison slang, tells the story of some adolescent school girls and their struggle against the oppressive detention center they are forced to work and learn in. As the characters plot, scheme, protest, escape, return, love, care, and fight, the movie tries to tackle the question of 'what does solidarity with students look like?' Which is ultimately left unanswered, so join us in conversation after the movie as we try to tackle the same question.

1971 Screening

  • November 27, 2025 1:10 am

from O.R.C.A.

A group of Philly anti-war activists turned burglars broke into an FBI office and made off with documents. They exposed the bureau’s notorious COINTELPRO and never got caught!
1971 follows up with them decades later and goes into how they planned the action and how their break-in changed the way we understand surveillance today.
Witness what is possible when a dedicated group of people decide to take on the feds, against a backdrop of Philly’s radical and progressive movements and cultures during the 60s and 70s.

We return with another monthly roundup of news and analysis on political prisoners and prison rebellions.

This past month has seen an unprecedented rise in repression as Trump further consolidates authoritarian power and unleashes militarized fascist police violence on communities across the so-called US.

Political Prisoner Birthdays

Dwayne Staats

One of the two Vaughn 17 defendants to be convicted for taking part in the Vaughn prison uprising of early 2017. Dwayne and his co-defendant Jarreau “Ruk” Ayers bravely admitted to their own parts in the uprising, and then, free to testify openly without fear of incriminating themselves any further, tore holes in the prosecution’s attempts to convict anyone else – as he put it, “we’d accept being stabbed in the chest to present others from getting stabbed in the back”. To learn more about Dwayne in his own words, you can follow his instagram, read his letter to the Kentucky Attorney General, or his contribution to the Vaughn zine, “Live from the Trenches”.

Birthday: November 10

In Memoriam

Assata Shakur Returns to the Ancestors

In the words of Mumia Abu-Jamal,

Her name, Assata Shakur, has become an iconic symbol of Black revolutionary resistance to the white nation and American empire. Shot, beaten and threatened with death, Assata lived up to the meaning of her name: “She who struggles.” Born Joanne Deborah Byron on July 16, 1947, in Queens, N.Y., she came of age during the tumultuous 1960s, when young Black people joined movements and organizations devoted to Black liberation. She joined the Black Panther Party and later, the Black Liberation Army (BLA), and emerged as one of its best-known and best-loved members.

When three young Panthers were driving south on the New Jersey Turnpike, they were ambushed by state troopers, and a shoot-out ensued. One Panther, Zayd Malik Shakur and a state trooper, were shot and killed. Assata was also shot, under her arm. The third Panther, Sundiata Acoli, also survived the ambush. Both survivors were charged with murder. Assata endured some 10 trials or so, winning acquittal after acquittal after acquittal. She was convicted once, and the state threatened her with another conviction for killing of Zayd.

A BLA squad went to her jail and set her free. Shortly thereafter, she made it to Cuba, which granted her political asylum. She began teaching in Cuba, wrote riveting poetry, and prayed for social change in America, and of course, freedom for the Black Nation. She served her people and freedom’s cause with bravery, beauty and brilliance. She represented her generation as Harriet Tubman represented hers.

New immigrant detention centers

DHS is hoping to accelerate the expansion of its network of detention centers opening several new facilities as it considers renovating warehouses for “mega detention centers” and contracts $10 billion to the U.S. Navy to begin construction of what could include “soft-sided” tent setups in in Louisiana, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Utah and Kansas.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is holding people for ICE in at least five facilities at Miami, Atlanta, Leavenworth, Philadelphia and Berlin.

 

It’s Revolution Or Death Screening And Discussion

  • November 3, 2025 1:40 am

from O.R.C.A.

A screening in its entirety of a 3 part series imagined and narrated by anarchist Author Peter Gelderloos (How Nonviolence Protects the State, The Solutions are Already Here: Strategies for Ecological Revolution from Below) and brought to life by anarchist video media collective subMedia.

Part 1 of It’s Revolution or Death explores the lies that corporate green energy companies are feeding us and speculates on just how bad things will get if we continue on the current course.

Part 2 examines movements around the world by interviewing participants resisting giant ecologically destructive projects in Wet’suwet’en Territory in so-called Canada, The ZAD in Notre-Dame-de-Londres in France*, and farmland in the north of territories controlled by the state of Brazil that have been reoccupied by the Landless Worker’s movement and turned into massive organic farming projects providing both food and housing.

Part 3 brings it all home by bringing 3 simple suggestions to newer anarchists or just anarchists who don’t already live near one of these big ecological movements. Urgent Suggestion : A complete and Total Rejection of All the Institutions Responsible for This Disaster. Urgent Suggestion : Pick a Project of Transformative Survival and Urgent Suggestion : Connect your project to a revolutionary web of solidarity.

This series was designed to be screened in communities and start or continue the difficult conversations we’ll all have to have about making our communities more resilient in the face of worsening climate catastrophe. Run time is about 80 min.

Crowned Fools: MAGA Misfits and Proud Boys Get Royal Treatment While Protesting No King Rallies

  • October 22, 2025 1:35 am

from Idavox

[This post only contains information relevant to Philadelphia and the surrounding area, to read the entire article follow the above link.]

According to organizers, there were 2,700 No Kings rallies across the country on Saturday, with over 7 million coming out showing their opposition to Donald Trump and the actions since he returned to the White House. The protests were organized by a coalition of progressive and labor groups, including the 50501 Movement and Indivisible. The “No Kings” reference is in regards to the Trump administration’s authoritarian policies and executive overreach that is akin to that of a  monarch. While most of the rallies were uneventful, there were some that saw opposition coming from Trump supporters, either lone antagonists or organized MAGA groups coming out to counter protest.

No Kings rallies in Colorado, Ohio, Kentucky, California, South Carolina, Oregon, Florida, Virginia, and Texas saw confrontations by individuals and groups associated with MAGA that resulted in approximately 22 arrests. There have not been any reports of arrests of anyone that participated in the rallies themselves.

In Wilkes-Barre, PA, a driver driving a red Jeep decorated with Trump flags allegedly flashed a gun at protesters. Police promptly arrested 52 year-old Michael Paul Kolarik from Scranton and charged him with counts of terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, simple assault and disorderly conduct. He bonded out on $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Nov. 5. No one was hurt and no shots were fired.

For his part, Donald Trump responded to the anti-Trump rallies with a 19-second AI-generated video posted on his Truth Social account, depicting him wearing a crown in a fighter jet labeled “King Trump” and dropping what appears to be feces on protesters. The video featured the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins playing in the background, which prompted Loggins to demand his recording be removed from the video. “I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us,” Loggins said in a statement. “Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ – that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us. We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.”

No Kings! No Capitalism! No State!

  • October 17, 2025 1:36 am

from Philly WSA

This Saturday we will travel with our co-workers to No Kings protests, some to City Hall, some to Harrisburg, and some to DC.

As WSA, of course we will be there with our calls for an end to racism and the class system, and an end to genocide – resistance to fascism without mere reformism. We stand for working-class revolution from below!

While the cause we bring is more radical than the event the organizers are broadcasting, it’s crucial for us to be there.

The idea of boycotting or dismissing a mass mobilization for democracy against fascism, does not appeal to us. We want to be IN our workplace and present our views, and WITH our co-workers at Saturday’s protests. For some this will be the first protest they ever attend. Among workers at higher risk, in this time of repressive danger, their willingness to attend a protest is courageous.

We stand internationally with our comrades in the International Workers Association as we deal with this global authoritarian movement, this international threat to immigrant workers and erosion of rights. May the voice of workers this Saturday speak out in solidarity with all at risk, and call for transformation!
