While the state’s wealthiest billionaires raked in $42 billion last year, most of us are struggling to keep a roof over our heads. That’s the system Governor Hochul is protecting. It has to change. Rally with us tomorrow to tax the rich. dsa.nyc/TTRRally

«Que la policía está para protegernos de los malos es en buena medida una fantasía progresista. Tal y como afirma el veterano estudioso de la policía David Bayley: La policía no impide los delitos. Este es uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la vida moderna. Los expertos lo saben; la policía lo sabe, pero los ciudadanos no lo saben. Sin embargo, la policía afirma ser la mejor defensa contra los delitos y defiende que, si tuvieran más recursos, sobre todo para contar con más personal, serían capaces de proteger a la comunidad contra el delito. Esto es un mito.1 1 David Bayley, Police for the Future, Oxford, UK, Oxford University Press, 1996, pp. 25-28. [...] La realidad es que la policía existe principalmente como un sistema para gestionar e incluso producir desigualdad, reprimiendo a los movimientos sociales y gestionando con severidad los comportamientos de las personas pobres y no blancas: las que se llevan la peor parte de los mecanismos económicos y políticos.» @avitale en El final del control policial. capitanswing.com/catalogo/el-fi…

Very encouraging

@t_NYC @GreenGoesLeft I don't think so. It may be on YouTube, in which case you could ask for captioning.

@avitale @GreenGoesLeft Is there a transcript or text of this please

I will be on NY1's Inside City Hall tonight at 7pm and 11pm to discuss the launch of the new Office of Community Safety.
