With protests against police spilling into their third month, I took a deep dive into @CincyPD's record responding to critiques of its practices. Cops wrongly crawled through a window into a home, stunned a man who collapsed and then died, used a racial slur, stunned a child...

[Max Londberg @MaxLondberg]

Ali Archual is absolutely right. This was inhumane by @CincyPD. If it were textbook, why hide the video from the public?

Honored my work was recognized, but more importantly I hope it finds someone in power with a chance to challenge the status quo. Grateful to @SandraSperino and the many peer editors who helped the piece come to life.

It was an honor to have a blue check. Now, it is an honor to not have one. 🙌🏾

Andrew Lester told police he heard the doorbell ring, picked up his .32 caliber revolver, opened the interior door, “saw a black male,” was “scared to death,” and shot twice within seconds. He was released less than two hours later.

If Ralph was White, he would be playing with his siblings right now, or in school, or playing his instrument. But because he happens to be Black, he is hospitalized. 3/

"More careful review and vetting of misdemeanor charges before they are filed...would make our system more equitable, efficient and less costly. The Hamilton County Public Defender’s Office has been advocating for such review for years."https://t.co/Ltv3ap4wA2

When you focus on the victims (instead of the identity of the perpetrators), when you study the gruesome outcomes (rather than the intent), it allows you to better see *all* the carnage and plunder from the structure of racism. . .1/2

A couple recommended questions for journos covering Brent Spence Bridge project today:

- Do planners/engineers have a precise, quantifiable estimate for how this will mitigate traffic congestion along the corridor?
- Precisely how many residents could this expansion displace?

Why is it always Black people vs ALL the white people?

Why weren't there 25 or 10 or 6 white kids out there standing for what's right?

Why weren't a dozen white parents out there?

Why can't news reporters find them?

Why aren't they on the police force or the school board?

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

Today I found out the 78 year old man I gave supplies to for two years died.

He died from cancer, alone in his tent.

He was an English teacher his whole life and loved recommending books for me to read.

He was on 11 wait lists for housing for the entire time I knew him.

When violent crimes like this happen on college campuses, they are not recorded in the crime statistics. The perpetrators aren't labeled "criminals," they don't get violent felony convictions that strip them of voting rights, housing eligibility, and jobs.

Rachel Self, a Boston immigration attorney tells you everything you need to know about immigrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard.

They’d been given falsified U.S. addresses by immigration officials, perhaps ensuring that they’d be deemed in the country illegally.

The chief writer of @washingtonpost's Fact Checker views police and prosecutors as "solid" arbiters of truth.

[Glenn Kessler @GlennKessler__]

The last line of this fact check was: "If a rapist is ever charged, the fact finally would have more solid grounding." Now, a rapist has been charged and the story has been updated. Getting lots of angry emails but journalism is an accumulation of facts. https://t.co/mzaIarvCKw
