July 16, 2026—Almost a decade ago, in Texas, people noticed garbage trucks equipped with A.I. surveillance devices. This is federal overreach to a frightening extreme.
A return to McCarthyism: Not in my America!
Greg Abbott, no pushback?
In the 1950s, McCarthyism meant J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI would demand a pledge:
"I am not a member of the American Communist Party. I am not a Communist. I have never been a Communist. I will never be a Communist." (?) Then, if you had a "red card" in your wallet, on your person, or in the FBI's records, you could be fired from your job and "blacklisted." There may be Hollywood producers and directors who know what I'm talking about.
If you don't like being shadowed, all the time, by garbage trucks, tell your City Council.
I'm a U.S. citizen. I object. 🇺🇸
