I've followed her for years and i have her book too.
But I can see the existence of cops is why I don't fly down the LIE at 95 miles an hour. (but then they'd say, well duh cars should be banned too :) )
so you aspire to be an abolitionist but aren't there yet, OK.

I'm gathering as a "reformer" you'd not consider yourself an abolitionist? The abolitionist response, IIUC, is that "of course reform fails, that's by design - the carceral state must be abolished" - that policing does nothing to prevent crime, ever. Do you have a take on this?

The 11M number is all over the place. I don't see any info really contradicting it or declaring "no no, definitely no more than 6M". Which means it would be super helpful for you to provide some more background to debunk this, thanks

They just came out and said it:
“We both know why you’ve been detained…it’s because of what you wrote about the protests at Columbia”

They have his car. Ok, so who is it ? They don't release identities of suspected killers on the loose ?

Trump is already the cause of it. He is already the ringleader of stochastic violence going on a decade now

THANK YOU, all this lecturing from brawlers about "don't show up if you arent physically fit enough to fight cops" is sickening

They didn't do it for DOGE and ICE is more popular with normies than DOGE was. Maybe the protests will help

On Saturday there's going to be thousands of protests all around the country. The ones in large cities like NYC, LA, Chicago etc all have a high probability of being crazy. But I'm going to be in Vermont that day. The one we find is probably going to be a crunchy lovefest with strollers and dogs

Well as an older person with a family to support if I were at a large protest that started peacefully (I've been to huge marches that remained peaceful all day without issue), then an army of crazy eyed cops showed up to start shooting and brawling, I'd be getting the fuck out of there ! Sorry

Disabled people, older people, people who prefer not to be "in combat with police" not welcome at protests ? I've been to plenty of protests with kids, families, not much police. Do those kinds of protests not exist or are useless or what ?

As the old joke goes, an American diplomat and Soviet diplomat met up, and the American says "I really admire your country's propaganda." The Soviet says, "True, it is good, but it is nothing compared to American propaganda." The American, confused, responds "We don't have propaganda."

Whatever with Gavin, if he manages to score some points fine, but long term wagon hitching to this guy will be an abject disaster whenever whatever scandal brewing with him comes to light. Too much John Edwards energy there
