The best way to reduce crime is not by building more prisons and employing more police.
The easiest way to reduce crime is by having better social welfare, strong economies, improved education, low unemployment, women’s rights and stable governance.

It's quite striking that US medicine, which has for nearly three decades been organized around combating "scope creep" by which non-MDs might be permitted to provide essential care to people, is so eagerly embracing AI and the machine takeover of care? What's the difference? Follow the money.

The disastrous DOGE project has now ended in failure but the damage lives on. Estimates put the death toll from Musk's brutal cuts to USAID at 600,000 people, mostly children, in a year. Bill Gates said it was “the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children.” (Cartoon David Horsey)

The Labor Party in England is now proposing to get rid of almost all jury trials in England to make the criminal punishment bureaucracy more efficient. This should be a warning for us all. Neoliberals are walking us into the waiting arms of authoritarians.

Cops lying in court happens on any day that ends in D-A-Y. It's just that there's more scrutiny for these cases. This is why Illinois leads the world in wrongful convictions and the US is the world's #1 jailer. The. World. #DismantleChangeBuild
The findings that Bovino and federal agents constantly lie should not be taken lightly especially with their threatening to come back in the spring & also expand their operations in Broadview.
“Ellis wrote that she repeatedly found testimony by Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, the on-the-ground leader of Operation Midway Blitz, not credible. Bovino was evasive, either giving “cute” answers to attorney’s questions or outright lying, the judge said in her ruling.”
