In September, the city of Chicago stopped using ShotSpotter, a sensor system designed to detect gunshots & alert police & first responders, @nberlat.bsky.social reports. Activists launched a fact-based campaign & a potential model for organizers in other cities.

hey! we’d love to promote some of YOU. so quote post (never saying skeet ever sorry) with your favorite piece of film writing-yours or someone else’s—and we’ll spread it far and wide.
