The Globe editorial board thinks it can get away with shilling for residential school denial because they know a vast majority of its readership never read a single goddamn page of the TRC report. Anyway, listen to this by @sandela.bsky.social @nolore.bsky.social sandyandnora.com/episode-378-...

I write about policing and urban design in my book. Policing makes us less safe, but urban infrastructure and design can certainly make us more safe!

Amazing night with @sandela.bsky.social and @nolore.bsky.social! I finally got to see two huge influences on my politics and understanding of the world in real life.

I talk about this in my book, too! This is what we were talking about in 2020. I also recommend Devon Carbado's book Unreasonable for folks who want to trace the way this was all prepped in the courts.

Police have been chipping away at 4th amendment protections and accountability measures for years. That's what gives us everything ICE is doing, from racial profiling to warrantless searches and seizures.

Sandy Hudson @sandela.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

It feels like dissonance because it IS! ICE are police. Same mission. Similar tactics. You can't logically accept one and not the other.

162

Sandy Hudson @sandela.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

These fools can't go harder than this because then they'd either have to admit they were wrong about policing in general, or admit that they're absolutely fine with the way police are protected doing everything ICE does, targeted at communities that don't matter to them.

1225

Sandy Hudson @sandela.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Anyway, I talk about that in my book. Cops love body cams for a reason. They don't do anything for accountability but do provide more toys

080

Sandy Hudson @sandela.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

You see how quickly this normally obstinate administration went to outfit ICE with body cams? That's because they are ultimately a surveillance tool for the law enforcement agency outfitted with them. Not a tool of accountability. And research shows they can ultimately increase police violence.

It’s not just @sandela.bsky.social Sandy Hudson’s razor-sharp analysis putting policing in context that’s so valuable, it’s her clear and convincing focus that we can actually change things. Listen to this and follow her on the Sandy and Nora podcast, you won’t regret it ❤️

Yesterday there were a handful of contradictory headlines about whether Canada is or isn't sending troops to Denmark. Would be nice to know which is true.

When you're studying for the bar using a self-directed online course but need to ask a question

An image of bar prep materials that reads:

JURISDICTION AND ACTUS REUS

The United States has the power to criminalize and prosecute crimes that:

Occur anywhere in the U.S.;
Occur on ships and planes; and
Are committed by U.S. nationals abroad

Sandy Hudson @sandela.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

For sure, but cops are protected and operate with impunity because governments have scaffolded them forever. Murderous policing is a part of all policing! We can stop it by taking away their tools and their power, ie resources, ie defunding them

130

Sandy Hudson @sandela.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Prime example of why body cams don't work and you must defund the police (incl. ICE) to stop them from doing what they're meant to do, which is use violence to control particular populations for the benefit of the wealthy/powerful and to maintain social stratifications

Sandy Hudson @sandela.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

I hope all the people who did their darndest to create a "we went too far on policing" narrative in the post-2020 whitelash see that their blathering apologism justifies every fascist thing ICE, the FBI, the DEA, and other law enforcement agencies are doing rn.

This "law enforcement" justification for the clearly illegal strike on Venezuela is absolutely outrageous and should be reported as such. The death toll is now **80 people** and the **American dictatorial gov't** is like "this was just a simple arrest coming from an indictment, wym?" Unfuckingreal

Carney's statement is finally out. Apparently we "welcome the opportunity for freedom and democracy" through authoritarian, imperialist, illegal military operations. Elbows so low we're squatting at this point:

An image of Mark Carney's tweet reading "One of the first actions taken by Canada’s new government in March 2025 was to impose additional sanctions on Nicolás Maduro’s brutally oppressive and criminal regime — unequivocally condemning his grave breaches of international peace and security, gross and systematic human rights violations, and corruption. Canada has not recognised the illegitimate regime of Maduro since it stole the 2018 election. The Canadian government therefore welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace, and prosperity for the Venezuelan people.

Canada has long supported a peaceful, negotiated, and Venezuelan-led transition process that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. In keeping with our long-standing commitment to upholding the rule of law, sovereignty, and human rights, Canada calls on all parties to respect international law. We stand by the Venezuelan people’s sovereign right to decide and build their own future in a peaceful and democratic society."

"Canada attaches great importance to resolution of crises through multilateral engagement and is in close contact with international partners about ongoing developments. We are first and foremost ready to assist Canadians through our consular officials and our embassy in Bogotá, Colombia, and will continue to support Venezuelan refugees."
