"Studies have shown that in some jurisdictions where diversion programs exist, cases that might otherwise have been dismissed ... are instead funneled into [diversion]. As such, diversion can produce a 'net widening' effect, expanding the reach of the criminal legal system rather than reducing it."

No ulterior motive for the federal government to leak a story to the NYT about gangs of teenagers selling guns to cartels. The main people trafficking guns are cops. www.cbsnews.com/news/police-...

Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime
These high-powered weapons are only meant for police. How are they ending up in criminals' hands?

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

An analysis of public records shows NYPD boss Jessica Tisch has assigned dozens of officers with extremely troubling records to Community Response Teams. The Adams-era jump-out squads are known for routinely violating the constitutional rights of Black and brown New Yorkers.

It’s honestly heartbreaking sometimes. I get so many clients who are genuinely well-meaning ppl whose main mistake is that they counted on the system to help them the way they’ve been taught it should.

I cannot tell you how many times I have clients who are SHOCKED that the police showed up and wrote them tickets instead of helping them. They, like most people, fundamentally misunderstand what it is that police do.

The disconnect between how the criminal legal system is discussed by the press/public/politicians and how it is understood by the ppl working in and around it is mind boggling. Ppl have no idea how this works and will believe every copaganda tv show they’ve seen over experts in the field every time

Crazy to me that people don’t understand that these are ROUTINE PRACTICES! Your local sheriff’s department almost undoubtedly has these. I’ve visited probably hundreds of clients in similar circumstances. And that’s just the local jail, pre-trial, where people are legally presumptively innocent!

None of us can support or volunteer for EVERY candidate. So if a candidate disappoints you, it's FINE to find another candidate in a critical election and support them instead. There are millions of us; everyone can pick their own lane. Just make sure you do SOMETHING to beat the fascists.

Idk I keep going back and forth on this. On one hand, I agree with the premise: healthcare isn’t/shouldn’t be a partisan issue; on the other, many MAHA ppl are unreachable and not worth expending political capital on. That said, i want them to have free healthcare whether they like it or not

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member. 
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

I think I want people to sit with is that it is quite possible that this case would’ve gone almost exactly the same under Biden, or Obama, or Bush. There is no statute of limitations on things like this. Even if you’ve been here for 30 years without causing any trouble, they can get you.

He’s the type of dude who steals the office cake
Other former staff point to an even smaller gift.
Around Christmas for years, Texas grocery giant H-E-B sent a coconut-dusted cake to the attorney general's office, which staff shared.
That changed after Paxton was elected, according to three former employees of his executive office who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.
One said Paxton once told staff not to touch the cake because it was for his birthday, which is on Dec. 23.
Another said Paxton once had the cake brought to a Tex-Mex restaurant for a staff lunch but never served it. The third recalled watching Paxton and an aide walk out of the office carrying the cake box.
According to required gift logs kept by Paxton's office, the cake was worth $45.

THREAD. Contrary to what you are being told, 40 years of polling have established that shifting money away from police/prisons toward social services is one of the most popular public policies among *all* political demographics. But it's not just that, it goes way deeper.

The fact that almost the entirety of mainstream punditry and political consulting is lying to you about these policies not being popular and needing to invest more money in surveillance, cops, cages, and family separation is one of the great propaganda scandals of our time.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
