Maybe it’s because I live in one of the most overpoliced cities in the country, but I’m flabbergasted by how many people don’t realize how brutal and with how much impunity cops act

Not enough personnel to do martial law
The secret of American law enforcement is that most people voluntarily follow most laws most of the time
If that changes for a significant %, things get overstretched very fast

I just know that *I* could very easily and truthfully say that I have never groped a service worker at their job, and it is very telling that Stringer doesn’t simply just say THAT.

…so as long as you rank Mamdani in any of the five positions and Cuomo in none of them, your vote will end up with Mamdani, and you’ll have done it right. I assume everyone reading this can be trusted to take this course of action.

democratic stances are the meanest thing that got tweeted at me, republican stances are the nicest thing Richard Hanania has delivered to the NYT on golden rings that only show their inscriptions when heated

When Joe Biden got onstage at the State of the Union and said “fund the police” to massive cheers, that was, of course, the Dems calling to defund the police
When every city government responded to the 2020 protests by INCREASING funding for the police, that was, of course, defunding the police

The thing that convinces me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the allegations against Scott Stringer are true is *Stringer’s own response to them*

Ppl seem to forget that a second woman came forward and said he had groped her, to which Stringer said “I do not remember Ms. [accuser], if I ever did anything to make her uncomfortable, I am sorry.”
Which I quite frankly do not think are the words of a man who DOESN’T nonconsensually grope women

/5 And if you are the paper of record and you repeat the law enforcement lie without pointing out explicitly that it’s an obvious lie, then you’re not reporting so much as you are selectively transcribing.

Not cool to share someone’s non-consensually leaked sex tapes, dude. Or to mock a man for wearing a skirt.

Yeah, my experience getting frauded was someone stealing my rent check out of the mail, using it to make a fake a check to someone, and then using my information to try to clean out my checking account (joke’s on them, I didn’t even *have* that much money)

*Ask me how I know.* it’s a saga that ain’t fun

Hell, the banks freeze your accounts when you’re the *victim* of fraud until they’ve cleared that shit up. No fucks given about for what, how, and when you might need access to your funds.

How are these people so bad at trolling? This is shit that a 13-year-old in 2005 would realize sounds stupid

The people who are throwing people in immigration detention for writing op eds will be very, very excited to find leftists who have committed easily provable federal felonies.

Authoritarian regimes literally can’t keep power unless a sizeable majority of people comply.

The thing that people pointed out could get you in hot water was acting as a receiver for funds to then disburse those funds to get around banking regulations

There’s a lot that’s in Supreme Civil, but within that there’s a number of judges that hear one kind of case (and maybe only one or two judges for Supreme for that county that hear that type of case)
