it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs:
1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts
2. cops must be present at all times during protests

The lesson Frey and Walz were supposed to learn in 2020 was that sending riot police to a peaceful protest creates a confrontation that results in some dipshit cops shooting people in the eye with a gas canister which then we have to goddamn pay for in settlements while also our city burns.

/8 A huge part of what makes it very hard to convict Jonathan Ross for murder was baked into America generations before Trump was President. That’s the primary factor that lets law enforcement kill with impunity, not Trump.

AAF is a shitshow format on a good day but whatever Premiere farts out as AAF stopped working for me recently and seems to be baffling to other software. Which, I guess, wouldn't be so bad if Premiere's XML export actually worked, or OTIO export was released and worked.
Somehow it's tolerated.

Apparently the American gestapo shooting people is pretty much just a daily occurrence now. I guess they aren't even bother with sending people to camps this time. I am in a permanent state out outrage about America these days.

If you don't want people in emergency housing, the solution is to end the housing emergency, not to end the emergency housing.
Mayor Wilson sent an email to city councilors Tuesday saying the city will begin enforcing 120-day stay limits at its alternative shelter sites. The rules are intended to incentivize people into using the emergency shelter system to obtain housing, despite the lack of available affordable housing.

FWIW, I logged into my Hilton account and sent them negative feedback and mentioned I look forward to loudly joining ICE protests wherever they stay. I haven't even stayed at one recently so I am small fry. But if enough people get in their face about a boycott it will effect the business decisions.
“Hilton is - and has always been - a welcoming place for all.”

Hilton seems to be... Insane? "We are a welcoming place for all, so anybody not on board with the fascist government's ingroup better fucking watch out." Who the fuck wants to stay at a hotel full of ICEholes?

So unspecified "interim authorities" (who?) are "turning over" an uncertain quantity of oil with 20 Million barrel sized error bars. Handing it over to "the US" to sell (despite sanctions?) even though we hate nationalized oil industry and communism. (All under no legal authority anywhere.)

Whelp, I went on record saying I 100% didn't think that's what was happening tonight. So, weird... Ukraine, if you are listening, Trump says that kidnapping heads of sovereign states is cool now, so... Just sayin'.
I wonder what the hell we are planning on doing with him. Prosecuting him?!

Hot take: Trump doesn't actually particularly want to "win" in Venezuela, and people expecting that he was going to kidnap Madura as a first strike are missing how much he wants to use ongoing war powers domestically as part of dismantling the power of the courts & using military against civilians.

Of course, CBS's "We love America" will only apply during Republican Administrations. As soon as a Democrat wins the next election, it will be wall to wall "America is failing, America is on the wrong track, America can't continue like this...."
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”
