Yes, please realize that this IS policing in the U.S. This isn't "bad apples" or "a glitch." Cops ARE VIOLENCE WORKERS. This is what they are. If you're finally convinced, don't just passively allow 50 to 60% of your municipal budgets to be allocated yearly to violence workers.

ATTN NEW YORKERS The NY Public Library has a plea out for signatures to push the city not to cut their budget and force them to reduce collections, end services, reduce maintenance, and close 2 days a week. It takes mere seconds to sign. They need 50,000. Pleas sign and SHARE WIDELY

this is actually so fucking appalling i almost couldn’t finish reading it.

The excellent @jordanuhl.com put together this list of protesters’ bail funds, contribute early, contribute often

Every once in a while a centrist will ask why I care about so many things that don't affect me & are surprised when I say they do affect me.

SCOTUS argument days are always thrilling, aren’t they? Hearing a bunch of lawyers debate the word “the” and pontificating for the lols about whether or not women are people and the president is god. Thrilling.

Do unhoused people have a right to sleep without being arrested when they have no where else to go? That's at the heart of Grants Pass v Johnson. I wrote about the case and the cities and states working to criminalize unhoused people. Edited by @dceiver.bsky.socialnewrepublic.com/article/1786...

The Supreme Court Is on the Verge of Criminalizing Homelessness

As the high court deliberates, policymakers are preparing for the possibility that they might solve a problem they created in the most punitive way.

New York libraries lack the funding to stay open on weekends, but there's endless city $ available to pay for NYPD overtime to make everything worse

NYPD arrests at least a dozen NYU faculty members in the ‘Liberated Zone’ at Gould Plaza. Prof yells, "How am I trespassing in front of my own house? In front of my own office?" Back-cuffed faculty are marched by. Pro tip: See someone you know? Don't blurt name here! Video: x.com/probablyread...
