@AshAgony @appsurrey Internal Affairs exists to protect the department's reputation, not to effectively investigate crimes by police officers.

A woman says she got falsely arrested & when she was released, NYPD cop Kristopher Recalde (badge #: 27157) made her take him to her car & then he sexually assaulted her (grabbing her breasts, touching himself, & trying to scare & pay her into having sex with him).
Eric Sanders, Esq.@esq_sanders

I think you’d better have DOI look into this alleged sex crime in the 44th Precinct involving this police officer since the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau isn’t effective investigating police related crimes. @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil @NYC_DOI @BronxDAClark instagram.com/p/DYtrPrBFkHg/…

Dan Goldman voted last summer with his crypto donors & the GOP to move crypto regulation away from the SEC to the far weaker CFTC, which this NYT investigation reveals is utterly captured by the industry: nytimes.com/2026/05/24/us/…

Too often, politicians and pundits assume voters want policies that are "tough on crime." In reality, voters want a "serious about safety” approach that embraces solutions that are effective, accountable, and grounded in evidence—not tougher punishment. vera.org/explainers/wha…

@morematerial Until this year, NYC-DSA only had 2 City Council members! But 2 more allied City Council members officially became SIOs this year, bringing the total number to 4. DSA has more of a presence at the state level, with 9 state lawmakers part of state SIO.

I have an anti-shackling bill (S2667) that expands on existing law and could have prevented this woman from being forcibly restrained while giving birth. It's unfathomable that this bill is even necessary, yet here we are.
Talia Ben-Ora@taliaotg

Now: About 100 rank and file Legal Aid Society attorneys and allies are rallying outside Brooklyn Criminal Court after a woman was forced to give birth shackled in arraignment. They’re discussing other instances of clients dying in custody & harsher punishments for NYC’s poor.

Cops in New York City earn over $200k with overtime, sometimes over $300k. Being a cop is a less skilled profession than the engineers YIMBY’s are whining about, and there are waaay more cops.
Giacomo Volpe 🌹🤝🌐@_giacomo_volpe_

Public systems not working and costing way too much in blue states is a big part of why our brand is trash Paying train conductors $200k/yr and letting them cripple service because it isnt enough makes us look like dogshit You cant ask people to trust a party that allows this
