READ ALL 9 REPORTS ON THE DESK

Every report is summarized on this page and carries its citation in place: publisher, date, location, and reporting status. Original report links are retained in the project source records rather than opened from these cards. Images appear only when supplied through publisher feed or social-image metadata. Reported actions are attributed; inclusion is not independent verification of every claim.

[ POSTS FROM THE PUBLIC SQUARE ]

THE INTERNET
HAS RECEIPTS.

Public posts can document organizing and local reaction. They are community speech, not verified reporting, and they are labeled that way on purpose.

COMMUNITY SPEECH / NOT VERIFIED REPORTING
REDDIT / r/redmond

“The council cancelled the Flock surveillance contract tonight.”

A resident followed up publicly to ask when the cameras would actually be removed.
REDDIT / r/mountlaketerrace

“Your advocacy was critical. The City Council voted to cancel the contract.”

The community post credits residents who organized, attended meetings, and kept asking questions.
REDDIT / r/bayarea

“Hundreds of public speakers rallied against the proposed surveillance contract.”

The linked discussion follows reporting on Oakland rejecting a proposed Flock agreement.
