Watch live: @NaomiAKlein hosts @shoshanazuboff and Simone Browne (@wewatchwatchers) to unpack the dangers of surveillance capitalism — and how we can rise to this crisis and create a fair and equitable future. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

“Sixty percent of Americans believe that the internet companies do more to divide society than to unite it,” says @shoshanazuboff. “Only 11% think that the internet companies are uniting society.”

“8 minutes and 46 seconds with George Floyd — people made hashtags, gifs,” says Simone Browne (@wewatchwatchers). “I'm always troubled by the trauma that gets re-inscribed through that kind of work. You see the meme-ification of black pain, black trauma.”

The report noted that the Pentagon’s requested budget for 2026 indicates that the Defense Department plans to spend at least $5 billion for operations on the southern border alone. interc.pt/3KMZtBR
The lawmakers argued that the level of commitment of Pentagon funds and troops on immigration matters has passed any reasonable standard, hampering the overall readiness of the nation’s armed forces. interc.pt/3KMZtBRThe report found that the Pentagon had allocated at least $1.3 billion for resources and troop deployment to the border; at least $420.9 million for the detention of immigrants at military installations at home and abroad; at least $258 million for the deployment of troops American cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago; and at least $40.3 million for military deportation flights.

The Trump administration is using NSPM-7 to compile the names of alleged domestic terror groups. It won’t tell us who’s on the list. interc.pt/4oVdxYx
The U.S. government has begun drawing up new lists of terrorist organizations without disclosing the identities of the groups to Congress or the American people. interc.pt/4oVdxYx
One of these lists is tied to Trump’s undeclared war in the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean.

There are reportedly dozens of groups on the list, but only two — the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and the Colombian guerrilla group Ejército de Liberación Nacional — are publicly known. interc.pt/4oVdxYx

Israeli spyware company NSO Group took a big hit over the last two years after its phone hacking software was shown to play a role in serious human rights abuses.

Now, amid the Gaza war, NSO is lobbying for an urgent meeting with @SecBlinken. theintercept.com/2023/11/10/nso…
NSO Group, infamous for its Pegasus phone-tapping technology, was blacklisted by the U.S. Department of Commerce in November 2021.

A month later it was revealed that Pegasus had been used to spy on American diplomats.
With the war against Hamas raging, NSO has seen a flurry of positive press for its work with the Israeli military on Gaza — a nod to the close relationship between the Israeli government and the notorious cyber spying company.

As Vladimir Putin has sought to replenish the ranks of Russia’s military, his close associate Yevgeny Prigozhin appears to have done the same with the Wagner Group, the infamous mercenary organization he founded, including by recruiting in Russian prisons. theintercept.com/2022/10/19/rus…
Prigozhin was encouraging them to join the Wagner Group and fight in Ukraine as a way out of prison.
Wagner mercenaries are believed to have been behind a series of so-called false flag attacks in eastern Ukraine before the invasion, intended to give Russia a pretext to attack.

Before Russia’s tanks started rolling into Ukraine, we were already hearing that the best way to stop Putin’s aggression is to ramp up fossil fuel production in North America, writes @NaomiAKlein. theintercept.com/2022/03/01/war…
“Within hours of the invasion, every planet-torching project that the climate justice movement had managed to block over the past decade was being frantically rushed back onto the table by right-wing politicians and industry-friendly pundits.”
But of course the push for new fossil projects is not about helping Ukrainians or weakening Putin. The real reason all the old pipe dreams are being dusted off is far more crass, writes Klein: This war has made them vastly more profitable overnight.

The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Prisoners are some of the most vulnerable to the climate crisis given that they’re at the mercy of a prison system plagued with problems.

Texas is ground zero in the fight over air conditioning in prisons.

Data compiled and analyzed by The Intercept shows that Texas has more jails, prisons, and detention centers impacted by severe heat than any other state. interc.pt/3BeZOnG
Nine in 10 of Texas's carceral facilities are in places with 50 or more days a year of 90-plus-degree heat indexes; projections show that temperatures will only rise. Image
