LAPD can continue to use military weapons, foam bullets and tear gas after City Council vote.
The LA City Council voted 8-4 to let LAPD keep using foam bullets and tear gas despite documented misuse during this summer’s anti-ICE protests and over $50M in civil rights violation payouts last year.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

This is sort of off topic, but I’m gonna keep bringing it up every time:
It is INSANE to me that Riley Gaines spent years calling Lia Thomas a predator - while Riley Gaines’ coach Lars Jorgensen was bullying, harassing, and sexually assaulting her teammates.

It appears there is a group of Santas doing civil disobedience in downtown Chicago while demanding "a city budget for the money not the few." The Santas want billionaires to get taxed. So say we all.

Everyone in Chicago needs to read this AND TAKE ACTION. Everyone else should read this and ask what's happening where you are with your public library systems.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

On this Wednesday morning, I see we are still relitigating the 2024 election. And the same people who don't understand how elections work are blindly blaming leftists for everything instead of focusing on fighting back against the current administration. Fun.

see this doesn’t work either man
disability is a spectrum! any of us can become disabled at any time in our lives; not all of it is permanent either & all this will do is further shame people who do need help if they get it.

I do think the only workable solution is occasionally making a high profile, dramatic example of people who get caught flagrantly abusing the system which helps generate social opprobrium for rule breakers.

this is a slippery slope in and of itself & people with disabilities are already means tested around being “disabled enough” if they need assistance in meeting their basic needs
if a few people who don’t actually need the accommodation take advantage of it, big whoop, i don’t care

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
