🧵 When DCist was shut down, we watched as so many of you mourned the loss of a vital local news source. A team of us got to thinking: What if we could create an outlet controlled by us (the journalists) and you (our community)? No executives involved.

"A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives." https://t.co/9O8uviCGMD

With all the articles coming out about the Nebraska teen sentenced to 90 days in jail for self-managing an abortion, I just wanted to flag something I wrote last week about coverage of the case.

[Radley Balko @radleybalko]

Pretty wild that everything about this case but the ruling appears to be fictional.

I wrote about the first anniversary of Dobbs, which in just twelve months has already unleashed grotesque moral absurdities and unspeakable loss beyond what I think we can comprehend. https://t.co/GDkMcyqsCZ

DOJ just released the report from its two-year investigation of the Minneapolis police department.

Here's a thread of notable excerpts.

This first one happened *while a DOJ investigator was on a ride-along.*

This is from Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian.”

When I read this I couldn’t believe that any person could write something like this.

New Interview: I talked to Ted Koppel about his journalism on Henry Kissinger, his friendship with Henry Kissinger, and how the media has treated Kissinger, who just turned 100 years old last month. https://t.co/vffEX5XmIt

The uproar over police unions died down which is exactly what a lot of people wanted to happen. IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT POLICE UNIONS AGAIN.

Take action for a protected bike lane on CT Avenue NW -- it is needed, it is urgent, it is a safety issue, it is a climate issue.

Let's not give in to the same car first mindset that costs too many lives in #DC and the rest of the country every year.

[Brandt]: I hope you're not avoiding this call because of the rug, which, I assure you, is not a problem.

one of the things that has been exceptionally disheartening to me with the recent wave of these kinds of stories is that these shootings/killings aren't even in response to interpersonal conflict, they're just happening within normal ranges of interpersonal interaction
