We are working on a dynamic google sheet that will allow us to check in on (voting sites, libraries, prisons) in Western NC - collectively and not duplicate efforts. If you are techy and want to help, email triangleblogblog@gmail.com
An opposition to speed cameras implies one of two beliefs: either you believe all drivers should be able to break traffic safety laws with impunity, or if you oppose speed cameras but favor human traffic enforcement, you think just white people should be able to break traffic safety laws
ââŚwhen speed cameras are doing the ticketing, the proportion of tickets issued to Black and white drivers aligns closely with their respective share of roadway users. With human enforcement, in contrast, police officers stop Black drivers at a rate that far outstrips their presence on the road.â
âDriving while Blackâ: Researchers found that Black drivers make up 70% of police traffic stops on roads where only half the drivers are Black.
people (on here) yelled at me about this when i said it before but a) you need traffic enforcement and b) speed cameras are vastly preferable to cops.

With apologies to Wilhoit, Trumpism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the state rewards but does not hurt, alongside out-groups whom the state hurts but does not reward.
The text is awful enough, but the subtext is that the policeâs job is to inflict violence, which really gets to the central problem of Trumpism
Who showed Trump the film The Purge?
