Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.
Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

The billionaire money fighting California’s proposed wealth tax shows how fast extreme wealth translates into outsized political power in this country. Great piece from the incomparable @rbreich.bsky.social, citing our research on how billionaire political influence has surged post-Citizens United.
Bar chart titled “Billionaire Spending in Presidential Elections Before and After Citizens United Ruling (2010).” It shows a sharp increase in spending after the Citizens United v. FEC decision. Bars by year: 2000 ($18 million), 2004 ($13 million), 2008 ($16 million), 2012 ($231 million), 2016 ($682 million), 2020 ($1.2 billion), and 2024 ($2.6 billion). A vertical dashed line marks 2010, separating lower pre-2010 spending from much higher post-2010 spending. Source noted as Americans for Tax Fairness.
