Funny enough you know who proposed an interesting version of this model? Bobby Seale and Huey Newton. They proposed community policing with rigorous civilian oversight in the Panther's 10 Point Plan. They advocated for documenting & preventing unlawful arrests, harassment, or violence.

Same--teen lifeguard, CPR & First Aid for the professional rescuer at 17. I'm 42, carry a first aid kit and Narcan and have used both in public to help strangers.

Our systems are secure and diffuse. I had worked on about 13 recounts where we get to inspect every ballot and all the procedures & materials, and they very rarely show anything abnormal happening.

As the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins earns an annual salary of $253,100. That's almost four times the median annual salary for full-time workers in the U.S. at about $65,000. She's saying she's struggling to feed her kids.

Robert Kraft would never try to console someone. His cold black heart would never let him. He'd just pay them to go away, instead.

If nothing has ever happened to you, then you are at the absolute *peak* of privilege. Nothing has been a problem because nothing has been a problem for you in particular. You have chosen to, your whole life, refuse to empathize with other people.

“We see ICE wreaking havoc in our communities, we see voter suppression increasing, and what we’re saying is we’re done with that. We are going to continue to fight, but also continue to love until we win, until every community has investment in safety and care, and not in ICE.”

I'm not sure that its propaganda, but it is at least Zionist. They've given millions of dollars in donations toward religious programs; youth trips for US kids, including those used for an adult matchmaking service for young adults; and real estate in Israel--a self-defined parliamentary theocracy.

No. If we are to pay for war, we need the government to justify it to the American people. They won't though, because they can't.
