Biden's "withdrawal" plan leaves private forces in Afghanistan, forces which already outnumber US troops 7 to 1. What we're left with is a fully privatized bloodbath, one that still commands huge public contracts but is spared the burden of maintaining public support.
The shooting suspect in Austin is a former detective who was charged with the sexual assault of a child. He resigned from the department last year. He was arrested, but he was released on bond the same month, because he was a cop. And now this.
Oh boo-hoo: "I can't find waiters to work for $2.13/hr because they might get more on UI"
Oh boo-hoo: "I can't find people to work part-time for $8/hr because they got a $1,400 stimulus check"
Cry me a river. Start paying your workers enough to live or close your damn business.
@zotoh_zhaan@OpossumPress There was an episode of Adam-12. There was a hostage situation. Bunch of cops are on site. When the Sarge arrives, he JOKES, "anymore of us show up and we'll be shooting at each other .'
whenever antifa is trending bc of some deranged right-wing hysteria I'm reminded of when they claimed it was a secret plot by democrats and biden to create chaos under trump. most of them immediately memory-holed that without any issue, but some were left profoundly confused
US removing 2500 troops is announced the same week as a $713B defense budget & $23B arms sale to UAE. โCreate this shiny thing over here so they wonโt look over there!โ Troops in Afghanistan is a symptom; deeper cause is a perpetual war machine to which both parties are beholden
Talking about how and when the US and NATO should withdraw from Afghanistan- just think how utterly absurd you sound as a foreign invader trying to impose conditions on your own departure. You have no right to occupy other people's land and violate their sovereignty. Period.
The Brooklyn Center PD raised a thin blue line flag above its building and then fired teargas & rubber bullets after being ordered not to by the city government. The conversation is way beyond taser v gun
The latest sign of NYCโs comeback - the subway today was more crowded than it has been in months. An MTA officer told me that subway ridership has risen to almost 2 million a day. ๐

The Kenosha Police have just released a statement saying that Officer Sheskey, the officer who shot Jacob Blake, has returned from his administrative leave and "will not be subjected to discipline."
It seems like some people forgot last summer. We saw police murder George Floyd. Then we saw them attack every protest trying to hold them accountable. Not one, not two, but hundreds of police departments beat and gassed thousands of protesters. We know police are beyond reform.
