We don't actually get to resolve contradictions most of the time, we ride the knife edge and sometimes we fall off. Welcome to being a grown up socialist.

LAPD officer Houston Tipping died after a training exercise during which he was beaten & slammed to the ground by other cops. Now his lawyer says at the time he died he was investigating a gang rape by 4 cops, at least one of whom was part of the exercise.

Not just in NY. Most robust bail report in history just out: 3 years after changes to Harris County (Houston) Texas''s bail laws, numbers are in & definitive: Far less jail & more freedom mean *less crime.* I repeat: Bail reform reduced crime in Texas.https://t.co/6TLki89cRO

The Civilian Casualty Files—A1 of today's @nytimes—is the culmination of 5 years of investigation: at airstrike sites in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, a years-long legal battle with the Pentagon, 1,311 military 'assessments' and scores of interviews... https://t.co/uauULKMumt

Breaking news: the word “Reform” has collapsed under all the work it’s doing in the below tweet.

[James Queally @JamesQueallyLAT]

BREAKING: AG @RobBonta has launched an investigation into the Torrance Police Department in the wake of the racist text scandal. Probe was in the works well before my story but still signals major escalation of reform efforts there.

[James Queally @JamesQueallyLAT]

NEW: For years, more than a dozen Torrance cops exchanged racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic texts and images. Today, I can identify most of the officers and reveal some of their hateful conversations. My latest: https://t.co/5UbMygQtdN

Of COURSE they hired a consultant rather than listening to Community

[Jason Ruiz 🐀 @JasonRuiz_LB]

A first glimpse of what the CPCC amendments could be was presented to a City Council committee Friday. This is an early proposal and there is an upcoming public meeting (Dec. 14) but the proposals fall short of the strength the community asked for.

[Haymarket Books @haymarketbooks]

We put together an Abolitionist Starter Kit: books by Angela Y. Davis, @prisonculture, @KeeangaYamahtta, @marclamonthill, and @HarshaWalia to help sharpen our analysis, ground our strategy, and deepen our commitment to collective liberation. https://t.co/RF2NAompZi

@andrewkerr @JasonRuiz_LB Co-sign. This is a great short explanation of what the hell is going on with housing and redistricting.

We are thrilled to share our new resource, "In It Together: A Framework for Conflict Transformation in Movement-Building Groups," which provides tools to assess conflict in movement-building spaces and strategies and resources to transform that conflict: https://t.co/q8tRLkhEBK

@apignataro @jeremiahdobruck @KellyPuenteLB @LongBeachPost And we still don’t fully fund our Health Department!

104-year-old Kuttiyamma from Kottayam has scored 89/100 in the Kerala State Literacy Mission’s test. Age is no barrier to enter the world of knowledge. With utmost respect and love, I wish Kuttiyamma and all other new learners the best. #Literacy

[Ravi Ahmad @raviahmad]

@KumiROCKS @lbtransit I’m on the bus right now! I love @lbtransit and can’t wait to see the impact you make as a board member!

[Ravi Ahmad @raviahmad]

@jeremiahdobruck Is this money coming from the insurance policy the City had to take out to cover the risks of the @LBPD doing precisely this sort of thing or much much worse? How much does that policy cost us and how do our rates compare with similar cities with less violent cops?

[UNITE HERE @unitehere]

Let's make Thanksgiving *actually* fun for @HelloFresh workers by stopping the captive audience meetings for Richmond factory workers who are about to join their coworkers in Aurora in voting for the union. 

Don't forget—union busting is disgusting ;)

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

Walton and “write in” were both Black. But like the situation at Howard, the Buffalo mayoral race shows how powerfully Black people in institutional positions of power can be when they are close to capital and need to sideline Black people who are calling for an end to poverty

[Ravi Ahmad @raviahmad]

FINALLY

[Kelly Puente @KellyPuenteTN]

BREAKING: @LADAOffice is charging a Long Beach school safety officer with murder in the Sept. shooting death of an 18-year-old woman.
