stop treating the culture wars as an exogenous shock. political actors made strategic choices to create and weaponize them. they are not a curious weather condition public schools failed to dress appropriately for.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Continuously in awe of the fact that all knowledge builds on learned knowledge. If you ever have the chance, watch the patience of an early-childhood educator guiding a kid through a difficult new idea and then consider the entire communal effort of generational education throughout history.

Police union in DC is speaking out against Flock cameras, but only because management was using them to investigate officer misconduct (possibly overtime fraud) 🙃 washingtonsun.com/metro-newsle...

The D.C. Police Union has joined the anti-Flock chat.

The group issued a press release Thursday sounding the alarm about the powerful cameras, which the Metropolitan Police Department uses to store license-plate information in a searchable database.

The union filed a grievance this summer, complaining that D.C. police managers had been misusing the tech. Union chair Gregg Pemberton tells The Sun’s Jenny Gathright that the department refused to investigate — so he decided to go public with the concerns.

“All I can tell you is that we discovered improper access or improper queries,” said Pemberton, who declined to share more details about what the managers were allegedly looking up in the Flock data.

A D.C. police spokesperson said the union’s grievance was over the use of Flock cameras in an internal affairs investigation regarding the misconduct of a union member.

And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.
