...to pivot. Because if not, the other one is waiting in the wings to wreak havoc and those of us who remember their last go round know all too well how much we can ill-afford those kinds of shenanigans right now.

... particularly in their early handling of the ongoing pandemic.
That they choose to pivot away from it so often is a sign of the line they're always walking between the public interest and that of their financiers, & that is a problem.
That said, I hope the party is ready...

And if we understand 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 then maybe we can circle back to asking why the TTPS is having such a hard time collecting evidence against suspects... which, per the Police Commissioner, is why their 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 is so low.

And then maybe we can come to understand why, even if the govt amends laws to make it possible for the TTPS to charge ppl with less evidence (which... whew), there's gonna be big problems when those ppl get their eventual day in court.

Side-note: the quotes from residents in that article are heartbreaking to read. Those are actual law-abiding citizens surrounded by levels of violence few of us can really imagine and that can only happen when the authorities have thoroughly abandoned a community.

It is not enough to convince men not to harm women because they wouldn't like it if someone harmed one of "their" women because women are people, not property and if that fact is not acknowledged and accepted, then women will continue to be treated as property. Which is a bad thing.

I didn't say it isn't an incremental improvement over no empathy at all; I said that if that's where it starts, there's a problem. Which is true, because it's not enough, as evidenced by the fact that a convicted rapist is espousing it as a mitigating factor to the rape he committed.

Damn. The energy of this Christmas season has really been off. I sorted things early, but every time the Kiddo renews her Christmas countdown, I jump and say "Really?"
