People who were right about the need to divest from policing and criminalization are not platformed in the MSM. The ones platformed are former prosecutors, cops, and pundits who know nothing. Those people keep telling you about "training" and "new tech" "solutions." It's pathetic.

chat is it good for a regime when the clergy have declared they are ready to die if necessary to stop the atrocities being done to innocents

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911 "They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

An Alabama prison guard who left incarcerated people unsupervised in outdoor cages for hours was suspended for three days.

But he was still allowed to participate in executions as part of the team of officers who administer the death penalty:
In Alabama, Prison Guards Accused of Violence and Misconduct Carry Out Secretive Executions
As the state keeps details around the death penalty hidden, an investigation into its execution team raises questions about how incarcerated people are treated in their final moments.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Update: Maryland Office of the Public Defender says incarcerated children are still “trapped in freezing rooms” at the Youth Detention Center, which is without heat but “operating at 105% capacity.”
UPDATE: NO SCHOOL AT YOUTH DETENTION CENTER AS EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS CONTINUE BALTIMORE, MD – MOPD has learned that there is no school today at the Youth Detention Center (YDC), with teachers reporting the facility is too cold to conduct classes. The heating system remains inoperable, and temperatures inside the facility continue to hover below 60 degrees. "When it's too cold for teachers to work, it's too cold for children to live," said Public Defender Natasha Dartigue. "These 63 children aren't just missing school today—they're still sleeping, eating, and spending every hour in these freezing conditions. The school closure underscores exactly what we've been saying: these temperatures are unsafe and inhumane." Children at YDC, who have been charged as adults and are awaiting trial, remain in cold dormitories with only thin blankets for warmth. The facility is operating at 105% capacity, and overcrowding has prevented any use of the gym, depriving children of physical activity. Children are confined to cold living areas with no outlet for movement or exercise. "These children are trapped in freezing rooms with nothing to do and nowhere to go," Dartigue stated. "No school, no gym, no physical activity—just sitting in the cold, day after day. This is not detention. This is neglect." As previously announced, MOPD is filing motions to modify conditions of detention to protect these children. "Every day without heat is another day these children suffer. We continue to call on the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services to take immediate action."

A Tennessee appeals court had upheld a shaken baby conviction, despite pleas to overturn by the DA’s office and a recantation by the medical examiner who testified for the prosecution.

Appeals Court Upholds Shaken Baby Conviction Despite Medical Examiner Recanting Testimony — ProPublica
Dissenting from the court’s majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner’s reversal “calls into doubt the foundation of the trial.”

A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.
I've now been allowed and asked to share more details about what's going down at the University of Oregon, which involves imminent announcement of firings, among others, of tenure-track and tenured faculty. Given the units impacted (see below), please share this with your professional networks in related disciplines and start getting ready to put pressure (or begin putting pressure already) on the University of Oregon upper admin to abandon this alleged plan before they finalize it. It appears that, with no prior consultations, the departments of Religion and Classics (two separate units), and the programs in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, German & Scandinavian, Judaic Studies, Arabic Studies, and Holocaust Studies (the latter five all parts of a previously-consolidated mega unit called the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages) are facing imminent announcement of elimination (expected the week of Sept 7), with layoffs of pre-tenure, tenured, and career faculty in these units. The reason given is "financial exigency" -- upper administrations of several universities across the country (and in blue states like Oregon also) appear to be giddy to use the context of Trump attacks on higher ed to dismantle the humanities. Faculty at OU won a faculty union not long ago; this may be, in part, a retaliation for that, I've been told. The union is working with AAUP, etc.; my understanding is that the maximum spotlight is needed at this point.
