"Albuquerque, which has a neighborhood so besieged by drugs it’s known as “War Zone,” and other regions in New Mexico remain at the epicenter of the fentanyl epidemic. While overdose deaths nationwide fell 14% last year, government data show New Mexico tallied a 21% spike."

[Joshua Goodman @APjoshgoodman]

Even as it battled the deadliest drug epidemic in U.S. history, the DEA permitted hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to hit the streets of New Mexico from 2023-25, according to current and former agents and DEA records reviewed by AP.

This guy collected every local law in America and put them in a single database.

2.2 million laws.

This might seem to you like some nerds side project, and while it is technically, it is also much more important than you think.

Historically, whenever anything is made transparent to the voting bloc it undergoes radical change.

Every. Single. Time.

To the extent governments work overtime to make things opaque. (And I expect that to happen to this dataset too very soon, in a thousand different ways.)

The internet makes everything including politics “global/local” and local laws won’t escape.

It’s hard to understand right now how profound this will be, but we live in interesting times for sure.

Thank you Joe, and all the other nerds who do stuff like this because they are personally curious and they can. This is how history moves forwards

Donald Trump’s pro-crime policies are ASTOUNDING and going onto Newsmax to call them out is a job I’ll take any day of the week.

That is right. I said it. The Republican Party is pro-crime. Specifically, they’re pro-crime agains the police.

Someone needs to explain to me why anyone in America thinks Republicans are tough on crime when President Pardons is around!

Never in American history has there been a president who abuses the power of the pardon to wipe out the convictions of cop assaulting thugs who commit pedophile crimes like child molestation and collecting child porn, until now with Donald Trump.

Have you ever heard of any literally other politician, president or dictator who wants to pay criminals caught on video assaulting police officers?

This is unprecedented.

And that’s not the worst of Donald Trump’s constant string of pardons for high-level fraudsters.

Check out the list of Republican former Congressmen that he’s pardoning for accepting millions in bribes (Duke Cunningham, committing bribery themselves (Robin Hayes), racketeering and fraud (Rick Renzi), insider trading (Chris Collins and Stephen Buyer), public benefits fraud (George Santos), tax evasion (Michael Grimm), using campaign money to carry out four extramarital affairs (Duncan Hunter), stealing from charities (Steve Stockman) or obstructing justice and failing to register as a foreign agent (Mark Siljander).

AND THOSE ARE JUST THE FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN.

Donald Trump has pardoned fraudsters TWICE for stealing from people.

Donald Trump pardoned Philip Esformes who committed a $1.2 billion Medicare fraud in Miami (which had a location on the block I lived on when he went down in 2010), who then got arrested again for domestic violence.

Donald Trump is a one-man crime wave himself. He’s cancelling all punishment for major crimes for his friends, cronies, Republicans and whoever can pay him.

Yet, for NOT reason I understand, public polling still shows Republicans are more trusted on crime.

What is wrong with this picture?!?!?

It shows the failure of the corporate media to pin the tail on who the real criminals are in this country. How many local news reports focus on small crimes while the big fish are swimming away laughing?

That’s why I hope everyone who gets this far shares this far and wide.

Because no joke, I have gone on Newsmax where they are busy pushing the ‘Republicans are tough on crime’ sham narrative, and people are buying it.

They need to see how Republicans are defending the INDEFENSIBLE here, which is not just Donald Trump, but their entire party’s platform of being pro-crime.

🪚 Someone in Florida just introduced a Sawzall to a Flock camera. It did not go well for the camera.

Remember: July 4th is Deflock America Day! 🇺🇸

Celebrate responsibly — and don't forget we have the power of jury nullification for a reason. Not guilty!

Cleveland residents showed up, raised serious questions, and the Safety Committee rejected the proposed Flock contract renewal.

It is not over yet, but this is what public pressure looks like.

Forget left or right. This should terrify everyone.

NPR reports that DHS plans to give facial recognition technology to local police.

Immigration is the justification today.

The infrastructure can be used far beyond it tomorrow.

Troy’s City Council is moving to rein in emergency powers after the mayor used an emergency declaration to keep Flock cameras funded.

When surveillance requires an “emergency” to bypass elected oversight, the problem is bigger than the cameras.
