Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability.
Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even when officers kill.

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.
They just cut $20M of pancreatic cancer research from DoD. Who the hell could be thinking they won’t be targeted?

Every day in every way, more support for prison abolition
More than 1,000 people currently imprisoned in Louisiana were convicted by split juries — ruled unconstitutional in 2020.
Yet the state Supreme Court has declined to grant new trials, and lawmakers have repeatedly denied a reexamination of their cases.

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”
