If you’re concerned about “health & safety” this isn’t it. Medical, public health, & harm reduction experts know this. If you’re concerned w/maintaining neoliberalism’s respectability politics, protecting capital, & keeping white liberals comfy, you’re nailing it. You’re also accomplice to murder.

"Generally speaking, I think it takes a special kind of gall to assume that what a desperate world needs is your particular spin on giving up." organizingmythoughts.org/declining-in...
“We need more people highlighting solutions, practicing care, bracing for impacts together, and naming the openings we might push through—which is why the public broadcast of doom and despair deserves scrutiny right now. Pessimism is not foresight, and despair is not a synonym for political clarity. Not because people are obligated to be cheerful, but because resignation, transmitted as a factual conclusion, becomes an invitation to surrender.” - Kelly Hayes

Reading the laundry list of O'Hara's bad behavior--including romantic relationships with at least three female subordinates, temper tantrums, witness tampering....and yet, Frey still nominates him for another term?!?!? The bigger story is Frey's failure as the elected solely responsible for police.

The meanings of political labels change over time, so there's no one term that describes this in an historically useful way, but for 150 years there have been those who care about working people and want to improve their lives, but will do all they can to prevent those workers from having power.

Dude will give u this pablum but all his political arm does is vilify anyone demanding actual police accountability. (I know this from personal experience) Frey doesn’t bravely confront painful truths, he attacks painful truth tellers.

Describing someone having any type of moral or political standard you don’t personally have a ‘purity test’ has done more to undercut movements than any so-called purity testing has ever done. Spreading that talking point is embarrassing & insidious.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
