This is just an execution by this ICE officer

@jonfavs simply because it’s popular.

[Andrea Huckleby @andreamihu]

@jonfavs stances simply bc they’re popular, even if it’s bad policy that has and will cause significant harm and won’t solve the problem it’s aimed at addressing. I’m all for being pragmatic about the policies we platform but push back on the notion that we should lean into bad policy

A Black woman in Mississippi reported her son missing and went 7 months with police telling her they couldn’t find him.

She sent them photos, begged for updates, and implored them to put his story on the news.

It turns out they knew where he was all along. An hour after he left his house he was struck and killed on the highway by an off duty police officer.

They hid his body in the morgue for months without ever notifying his family despite there being a prescription bottle with his name on it found at the scene.

Then they buried him in a pauper’s field with nothing but a number identifying him as corpse # “672”.

The ex-Louisville police officer who shot and killed Breonna Taylor and was hired as a sheriff’s deputy in Carroll County recently rammed someone’s truck with his cruiser and then pointed a gun at the owner & several bystanders, according to witnesses https://t.co/sfkuiS08Xj

People on Medicaid who are in jail pretrial often lose their health insurance.

Medicaid's "inmate exclusion policy" means that while someone is locked up, and the state is paying for their (terrible) healthcare, Medicaid doesn't cover that person. Ok, reasonable. But /1

Police killed at least 1,054 people through November 27, 2022. Police are killing people at higher rates in 2022 than *any year on record* in the United States. https://t.co/0VQVssyYOK

I was forced to plead guilty to crimes I didn't commit. So do 90% of people incarcerated. It's called Trial Tax. And it begins with your local DA upcharging. I'll use my case as a case study. Let me preface by saying I was not an angel or completely innocent. ⚠️ Graphic🧵👇🏽

Over the years, Tyree Moorehead has spray-painted more than 200 anti-violent messages across Baltimore. His "no-shoot zones" mark the spot where people have been shot. On Sunday, he was shot and killed by an officer one block away from one of those zones. https://t.co/QjaNIPscXO

$556,539 per year

That’s how much $$$ it costs NYC, per person, to jail someone on Rikers Island in deadly, inhumane conditions,

We live in a society that will spend to more money to jail someone than to house, educate, & feed them combined. The cruelty is the point.

Second, take a look at the evidence of media manipulation. 70% of people think crime is going *down* or staying the same in their community but 70% of people think crime is going *up* nationally. This is what happens with mass media copaganda:

[Samuel Sinyangwe @samswey]

Police killed at least 881 people through September 30, 2022. Police killed more people over the past 9 months than at any other point in the past decade. There have only been 10 days this year where police did not kill someone. https://t.co/G3YiCYZoEi

[Nick Wing @nickpwing]

An NYPD cop accurately reported wrongdoing by his supervisors, so they raided his home, hauled him to the hospital in cuffs, and held him there for SIX DAYS under false claims he was having a "psychiatric emergency." When the ordeal ended, the hospital sent him a bill for $7,185.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

According to FBI crime estimates released today, "violent crime" decreased 1% in 2021 and "property crime" decreased 3.8%. Every media outlet should ask itself if this is the impression it gave with its volume of crime coverage and choices of anecdotes.

Our military gets a trillion dollars every year so that our kids can go hungry

U.S. officials have resisted adopting supervised drug injection sites despite evidence that they curb overdose deaths. @jaisalnoor reported on the ground in Amsterdam on lessons from nearly 30 years of safe injection site policy in the Netherlands. https://t.co/MyrCJb292I

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

One of the most under-discussed stories is Eric Adams defunding education. After 2 years talking about the evil of "defund the police" the NYPD has more money than ever while school budgets were cut, and he now wants to stop expanding free preschool to families with 3 year-olds.
