The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts says it’s releasing an online toolkit for attorneys to uncover the technologies police use—and conceal—to build criminal cases, from facial recognition to AI-written police reports. https://t.co/KNKwMdNRws

NEW: Milwaukee City Attorney Evan Goyke has responded to the U.S. Department of Justice, saying he finds the city's ordinance banning ICE agents from wearing masks is "legal and enforceable"

[Jeramey Jannene @compujeramey]

Milwaukee City Attorney Evan Goyke is not backing down from the Trump administration. Goyke says the city's mask ban for law enforcement is legal and enforceable.

Just total authoritarian delusions

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

[Rethink 794 in MKE 🌆 @TearDown794]

A missed opportunity for our city. We keep giving way too much credence to traffic studies and not enough to what our neighborhoods, our waterfront, and our future could look like without this barrier.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this fight over the last few years!

[danbrophy @brophydan]

horribly disappointing from Mayor Johnson

[Corri Hess @CorriHess]

New: @MayorMKE says he doesn’t want to bring I794 to street level. He says it would cause too much gridlock, especially in summer. More to come @WPR

[lionel @LionelBarrow]

Johnson’s NITA appointees do not include a single transit expert. This completely unacceptable. We’re never going to fix the CTA if we continue to appoint its board on the basis of politician connections rather than expertise.

"Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years, including in May’s runoff that made him the Republican nominee for U.S. senator, according to records obtained by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune" via @zachdespart

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

[Joseph Miscimarra 🇺🇸 @jmisci]

Seen in Lakeview. NIMBYs are mad about a potential zoning change for a 28 unit building located 2 blocks from a CTA train station. Their arguments are ridiculous.

Please call Alderman Lawson and tell him to push for even more than 28 units!

horrifying weaponization of the criminal legal system – nobody died, all guns owned legally & only 1 of the 9 defendants fired a weapon, 3 weren't involved in planning & left when guards told them to. One didn't even attend, got 30 years for moving zines.

Feds charge 15 "Antifa" in Minnesota - but can't explain what Antifa is:

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID

We have a new @nytimes investigation out today.

SUVs and pickup trucks dominate the roads across the US. And many are bigger — and far deadlier — than ever before. A thread --->

Oh, so they have NOTHING nothing

[john @johnsemley3000]

[clara the urbanist @SlopHq]

a bus every 6-7 minutes is the entire secret of good transit. no schedule, no app, you just show up. the kids have been screaming the answer at us for over a year. six seveeen. headways. they're talking about headways
