Richmond should follow their lead. It is time to turn the cameras off for good. It is never too late to do the right thing."

There have been multiple cases of protesters at #DelaneyHall allegedly waiving their Miranda rights and talking to investigators while detained.
DO NOT DO THIS! If you are arrested or detained:
1) Say you want a lawyer
2) Invoke your right to remain silent
3) Then STFU!
He is not wrong...

Seniors and disabled Americans needing care at home are now blocked from getting it.

Not sure why it's annoying, but I was surprised to learn that women's police uniforms have smaller pockets than men's police uniforms. Seems weird to me to make this gender distinction in what should be functional attire. Relevant link in the next post. 🧵
It would be preferable that applicants for this janitorial position have a background in science or social services, as demonstrated by a master’s degree.

This iris scanning tech was originally a tool created for CBP, then it was handed to ICE... Now all police in Cochise County, Arizona will be utilizing it as well.
If they tell you "it's not expanding," that's a lie.
Every boundary is just a soft launch.
There was a time, and not all that long ago, when arriving in America meant being greeted by a man with a comically large smile, a flag the size of a small principality, and the words “welcome home, friend,” even if you’d never set foot in the place before.
Trillions went into building that brand.
And now look. The Senegal national football team, invited guests, arriving for the World Cup, being patted down on the tarmac by a chap in a bucket hat whose vest says Aviation Logistics and whose body language says “spread ’em.” This is not a welcome. It is a stop-and-search before the players have so much as breathed American air.
“We love all people,” the Americans used to say. For decades. With feeling. They printed it on t-shirts and stitched it into the lining of their foreign policy. Turns out the small print, only legible under a Trump administration, reads: “terms and conditions apply, please consult the attached list of acceptable nationalities, allow six to eight weeks for processing, void where it makes the President uncomfortable.”
The truly bleak thing about the photo isn’t the search. It is that nobody in it looks remotely surprised.
Things the recovery industry will not tell you:
1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.
2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.
3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.
4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.
5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.
6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.
7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)
8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.
9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.
10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.
