I’ve been studying the punishment bureaucracy and suing judges, prosecutors, and police across the U.S. for more than 15 years. One defining feature of our legal system is that there is rarely any accountability for massive corruption and criminality by those with power. This corruption is utterly pervasive—it is completely endemic. And one of the best ways to understand any institution or set of institutions is to examine who those institutions choose to punish and for what. And then to look at whose crimes those systems ignore.

@blackriverx 7th and Ceres. It’s an immense danger to bystanders, and an even greater danger to Ray McCullun, the unarmed man the police shot.

How can Trump go to war with Iran without Congress’s approval? Did you know U.S. presidents going back to George Washington have fought undeclared wars? And it all started as wars with Indigenous Nations. The first undeclared wars the U.S. fought were with Indigenous nations.

The police will investigate the police and determine that the police did nothing wrong.

JUST IN: Afroman drops a banger before the lawsuit against him goes to court Monday in Adams County, Ohio. Afroman just released “Batteram Hymns of the Police Whistle Blower” a day before the lawsuit heads to court. Adams County sheriffs are suing Joseph Foreman for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress for featuring them in his music videos from the night they raided and vandalized his house and allegedly stole $400. In the new song and video, he calls the deputies out by name, packed with videos photos from the raid and some AI to make it comical. Pretty ballsy.

NEW: Rapper Afroman is scheduled to stand trial in a civil lawsuit filed by seven Adams County (Ohio) Sheriff’s deputies.   The legal battle stems from a 2022 raid on Afroman's home, where officers were investigating alleged drug trafficking and kidnapping claims that resulted in no charges. Afroman used his own security footage from the raid to create music videos which mock the officers and the "botched" operation.  The officers allege that Afroman used their personas for commercial profit without authorization, causing them "humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, and loss of reputation". They are seeking damages of $25,000 per count.

Sweeps make unhoused Angelenos more vulnerable to ICE kidnappings. People targeted by sweeps regularly report that city workers seize or trash IDs and paperwork, leaving them undocumented. We know that ICE racially profiles.

Sweeps separate families, destroy support networks, displace people, and derail housing placements. At sweeps, cops criminalize, sexually assault, and brutalize poor people. Sweeps destroy survival supplies like tents, life-saving medicine, wheelchairs, work tools, and more.

The FBI just acknowledged that the federal government buys Americans' location data in its testimony to the Senate Select Subcommittee on Intelligence. This is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment and is why I introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act - to close the data broker loophole that allows intelligence agencies to buy Americans' private data.

There has been an alarming development in our legal system. Judges are starting to contract with a private corporation started by an ex-Palantir employee--whose bio says he is also a former speechwriter for Israel's UN ambassador--to have **secretive proprietary AI help decide cases for them.**

@confusionm8trix The actual fundamental conflict across most of history is humanity vs empire. Empire is a parasitic egregore that seeks to convert everything it encounters into itself, and then self-mythologizes by dressing up in the skins of its victims.
