Establishment-critical narrative

Skydio's surveillance drones, battle-tested on Palestinian civilians and backed by pro-war, pro-genocide investors, are now swarming American cities to spy on protesters and citizens. This Israeli-linked technology automatically uploads millions of images to police databases, creating a frightening surveillance state that will enable fascist crackdowns on dissent.
