the Cornell case should make us question prosecutors and police all the time: the same DA offices discounting college students’ sexual assault cases (the lacking investigations, the disbelief) are happy to jail countless women for far less, day in and day out, when most people aren’t watching

the nfl is basically a constant exercise in coginitive dissonance and i think a lot of people could just kinda not think about it and try to have fun, but last night they drew specific attention to an effort to rehabilitate deshaun watson and it ruins the shared little agreement we all have

Some of my colleagues on the council are saying that the Minneapolis Police Department should be allowed to overspend their budget so 9 people can travel to accept an award. We are trying to convince them they should only spend within their gifted amount of $16,000 so no taxpayer dollars are used.

Human targets were marked by the IDF by hacking into cell phone networks. One interviewee estimated 60-70k Gazans had been marked-clearly including many, many people beyond those considered Hamas fighters-and another said it did not distinguish between kids and adults. The interviewees said the targets were hit at night when they were home with their families, who they could hear through their phones before initiating strikes. "How could you bomb when you hear a crying baby inside?" Abraham asked one of them.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

Funding for our parks and the very financial foundation of Minneapolis are jeopardized because police spending is out of control. To avoid a reduction in our credit rating and future park service reductions the Mayor and City Council must take action to rein in spending. Please read and share.
