Today will live in infamy in Austin - for police violence victims, for poor & working people reliant on City services & jobs, for future residents that will live in a less resilient city AND for those that voted for this disaster police contract that seek office down the line.
Chris Harris@chrisharris101

I love my community. 100s of the smartest, most eloquent people spent hours across 2 separate days this week to tell #atxcouncil to oppose this rotten police contract proposal & brought RECEIPTS. I so appreciate everyone willing to speak out & pray our elected officials listen.

“Democrats are trying to impose guardrails on how Trump’s fascist paramilitary force looks and operates, and how Trump can deploy his fascist paramilitary force, when the truth is that his fascist paramilitary force must be eliminated.” From First Draft: zeteo.com/p/reforming-th…

An ICE prosecutor in Dallas, James Rodden, who was previously exposed for running a white-supremacist X account praising Hitler and calling America a “White nation,” is quietly back in immigration court. After the Texas Observer revealed his online activity last year, he was pulled from court schedules and Congress demanded an investigation. Immigration and Customs Enforcement promised a review within 120 days. That deadline blew past with zero public outcome. Now Rodden has resurfaced at the prosecutor’s table, badge on, no explanation given. ICE refuses to comment. The account is still active, just locked. Bottom line: a government lawyer who openly promotes racist ideology appears to be prosecuting immigrants again, with no transparency, no accountability, and no evidence that ICE ever did what it claimed it would do. Same system. Same silence. Same bullshit. texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor…

Mussolini had his Blackshirts, Hitler had his SS, and Trump has ICE—an army of ideologically motivated chuds whose new members owe their employment not to the state (being largely unqualified for legitimate positions) but rather to Trump’s personal patronage. The existence of this unaccountable military apparatus poses a structural danger to our democracy. Structural dangers like this can’t be reformed—they need to be dismantled. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/abolishing-i…

As PBS and mainstream pundits and Democrats call for more money to ICE for "training," here's what's happening in the real world:

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Once you see that this is actually a logo for San Antonio, you can't unsee it. More wasted public treasure while working people suffer brought to you by City Manager Broadnax. Hopefully common sense prevails and this is scrapped before ever being used.

Grateful to the lawmakers who defended due process and stood up for the presumption of innocence in Texas today. At this moment, it's more important than ever to protect our rights. @moodyforelpaso @VoteAnnJohnson @RepMaryGonzalez @jonesjolanda @RepErinEGamez
ACLU of Texas@ACLUTx

OUTRAGEOUS: #SJR87 would jail Texans without bail based solely on an accusation. No judge weighing the facts. No proof of a public safety risk. This is how innocent people get locked up for years. Tell lawmakers: NO on SJR 87. NO detention without due process. #txlege

A man in Missouri spent 17 months in jail after an AI facial recognition program misidentified him as a suspect. He was finally freed when prosecutors admitted there was no evidence. Our fascist police state abducted a man and tortured him because a computer told them to.

The American Medical Association did a study showing encampment sweeps that forcibly relocate people lead to big increases in: overdose deaths, hospitalizations, life-threatening infections, and more. And yesterday, a man was run over with a bulldozer in an Atlanta sweep.
Brian Goldstone@brian_goldstone

Yesterday, across from Ebenezer Baptist Church—just days before MLK Day, when crowds will gather to honor justice and equality—a homeless man was killed during an encampment sweep by an Atlanta city vehicle. These sweeps are so cruel, brutal, and utterly counterproductive.

We talk about homelessness in many contexts – as a hardship, as a matter of public safety, as an issue affecting public spaces – but it’s also a condition that significantly shortens people’s lives. Just how much is now clear. My latest for @statesman: statesman.com/story/opinion/…

Tesla and other car companies have the ability to spy on car owners. They shouldn't provide that information to law enforcement without a warrant, and shouldn’t collect most of that data in the first place, EFF’s @MGuariglia told @KTVU. ktvu.com/video/1574015

Nearly 400 ppl in prison have been sent out to battle the L.A. fires. Obviously, no standing ovations, recognition, or real fire fighter pay for risking their lives

Everyone needs to know that these fires were made possible by global heating, which is caused by the fossil fuel industry, which has lied and blocked action for half a century. And that this will all get much, much, much worse until we end the fossil fuel industry
