Some police departments such as New Orleans, New York ,Chicago, LA , Baltimore have been investigated multiple times. Some have gone through one or more consent decrees where they have promised to retrain, improve, kill less. Those reforms have not worked. Ever. The culture of policing is quite toxic due to the root upon which the notion of American policing is based. This is what slave catchers look like all grown up. 6/6

If you believe policing "used to be about serving and protecting," please know the institution was specifically created to maintain and control slave populations, and later used to enforce Jim Crow laws. The system is sadly operating exactly as intended.

India dictator Modi is trying -- with some success -- to remove a BBC documentary about his ugly history from the airwaves and the Internet. I hope people who have copies will be prepared to seed them widely on servers Modi can't take down, just in case the BBC complies with the censorship the way Musk did at Twitter. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/narendra-modi-india-bbc-documentary_n_63d12031e4b01e9288679853
India's Attempts To Censor BBC Documentary Make More People Want To See It

The Indian government has dismissed the series, which is critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's role in the 2002 Gujarat riots, as "propaganda."

I'm just over here trying to process the fact that the guy who leaked damaging news about Hillary Clinton was literally being paid by Russia, and was instrumental in burying the evidence that he, and many other Republicans, were directly working for Putin.

And we're just... I dunno. Going to work and having bagels and shit.

Russia. Owns. The. Republican. Party. Russia had spies in the highest levels of the FBI. Russia had spies in the highest levels of the NRA. Russia owns US Congresspersons.

But whatevs. It's just a literal takeover of the government by our sworn enemy.
