Of the several liberal reporters I’ve talked to, none of them understood this basic point. Acted like it blew their minds. Such is the level of jingoistic indoctrination this stuff is just repeated with almost no thought by *serious* journalists.

The LA jails have just posted their 45th in-custody death for the year, a 22 year old man who died in the hospital. It's LASD's 3rd in-custody death in two days.

Unsurprising DSA shit.

We learned that they wanted Villanueva out cause he was messy and embarrassing, not cause of the harm his department actually caused.

🚨BREAKING: 23 people have died in ICE custody. Chaofeng Ge, a Chinese immigrant, was found “hanged” with his arms and legs tied behind his back and ICE tried to call it suicide. Randall Esquivel was deported in a vegetative state and died soon after. This isn’t detention.

(Sweeps don’t work. They make things worse. )

The “Zohran’s of L.A” are doing sweeps at a greater rate than the hack politicians that came before them.

Remembering Elden Campbell (1968-2025)

Equally important, contra popular assumptions that the early civil rights movement only focused on voting rights & segregation, the book argues SNCC & CORE activists identified the fight vs police violence as a key component of the broader struggle:

As Orwell explained, once you lose the capacity to say 2+2=4, all else is lost. From mass incarceration to bank bailouts to Obama's drone wars to the generational consolidation of wealth to Biden's funding of genocide, the mainstream news and leading Democrats have created the

This dispatch from Kristo Langker comes from the mountains of West Papua, a part of the world we don’t typically cover, and it differs in another way too. We usually report from places shaped by the U.S. war machine. Here, the weapons are French and Chinese, but the structure is

There’s no hope of an anti-fascist coalition if journalists do stuff like this without accountability. Crime was *down* under Boudin, who barely changed anything! It’d be like the SF Chronicle saying: “many in the city blame Boudin for city’s children becoming flat-earthers.”

Harm reduction is... Listen to Vanessa Ramos of Disability Rights California and the All People’s Health Collective break down the meaning of harm reduction in APHC's latest podcast episode. Listen here: https://t.co/jl53C0Pqkg

This horror is the predictable result of the choices made throughout the political, media, and “law enforcement” institutions not to apply basic principles and laws of murder to those who perpetrated Obama’s flagrantly illegal drone assassinations.

🚨 Watch: Footage from Palestine National TV shows Israeli soldiers executing two detained Palestinians in cold blood during a raid in Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank today. Their hands were raised, they posed no threat, and Israeli soldiers murdered them anyway.

This debate reminds us that when confronted with demands that aim to structurally shift things and deliver material impacts, opposition meet them with scorn, philosophical platitudes, and deflection. Matt Stoller should feel embarrassed by the circles he just had run round him.
