“Poor training” implies that their behavior is a bug of the system that creates and administrates them, not a feature. Using police to suppress progressive (specifically progressive) resistance with violence and fear has been the norm for at least a century

Three things distinguish UK policing from the US. 1. Guns (obviously) 2. The absence of any immunities from civil actions (v important) 3. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, still the most important regulation of police powers. /1

Hélder Câmara describes 3 types of violence: 1. Institutional aka structural injustice (as described below) 2. Revolutionary (against the oppressor) 3. Repressive (against the revolutionaries). Those in power will claim that only n°2 is violence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9...

Sessionize should either send all of the information for a given event at once, or, perhaps even better, send the full status for a given event *with every email*. As it is now, you get an email per accepted session, and separately, emails for all rejected sessions, usually acceptance first.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Have been reflecting on how I setup fake data into a DB. I've always done some fake instances of my business models (e.g. Users, Vehicles, Pets, etc) and just insert all them. Instead I'm wondering if this could be achieved by 'calling' actions against the system. Sorta very Eventy... 1/2

Jun 8th 1998 - Peter Gibbons had a bad case of the Mondays and gets reminded about the new cover sheets on the TPS reports. Michael Bolton (not that one) tells the guys he could write a virus to rip off the company. 📽️📅 Office Space (1999)

The ACLU weighed in on Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard as an “inflammatory abuse of power. This action puts Angelenos in harm’s way, exposes troops to legal and ethical consequences, and shreds a fundamental democratic principle, that the military has no place policing civilians.”

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Food for thought: A lot of locations have been trying to make anti-mask laws with the argument that it's to deter crime. Almost all of the cops who have been recorded this year have been... wait for it ... wearing masks and hiding their identities by covering name patches, insignia, etc. 🤔

The House version of the tax bill would revoke credits for EVs starting at the end of this year. If the plan survives, it would dramatically shape automaker investments and EV sales.

Let’s be very clear: Los Angeles is the perfect place for this to play out for the Trumpists. The Trumpists hate California and hate Los Angeles and a vast amount of their base feels the same — even the Trumpists here, who wallow in hating the place they live. /1

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

I think we could save a lot of money for this upcoming military birthday celebration if it primarily featured stealth aircraft. We could have them in the parade. They could do a flyover. Or several. We’d just tell Trump “look there they go” and “look at that beauty on that flatbed trailer”
