    I better not buy starch now! Are there any other foodstuffs that I should avoid buying if I don't want to be IMO killed by brutal assault by the brutal Czech regime? Flour? Sugar? Baking soda? Salt? Now a citizen is afraid to buy basic foodstuffs! I believe that is called terrorism!

    A "No Kings" protest in Memphis on March 28, 2026, ended in confrontation between demonstrators and the Memphis Police Department (MPD), resulting in multiple arrests and the use of chemical irritants. The demonstration, focusing on political opposition, saw police move to disperse marchers on Ida B. Wells Street, leading to allegations of excessive force.

    "Indivisible Memphis issued a statement around 10 p.m., Monday, 'Permits are not the issue. Police violence is,' the group's statement read. 'What we saw was excessive, disproportionate, and unjustified force used against people who were peacefully protesting and posed no threat to public safety. MPD’s response was about silencing voices, intimidating communities, and discouraging people from exercising their fundamental rights.'"

  3. Fleming represents the two men — a Venezuelan man & a Mexican man both in the country illegally — in the ongoing litigation that claims the #FederalGovernment continues to violate the 2022 Castañon Nava settlement agreement, which limits #ICE's ability to #arrest people without #warrants or #ProbableCause.

  4. #BorderPatrol agents seen at a #protest near #Minneapolis, #Minnesota, appear to be a mix of the agency’s special response team and its Border Patrol Tactical Unit, also known as #BORTAC.

    BORTAC agents are *generally* “trained” in crowd control & crowd dispersion, as well as other tactics to protect property. #PepperSpray & #TearGas canisters are among tools agents have used for crowd control.

  5. In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

    This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

  6. US Dist Judge Georgia Alexakis heard testimony 2 eks ago about what happened after the Oct 4 incident in Brighton Park, which led to a standoff between protesters and federal agents who deployed #PepperSpray balls & #TearGas into the crowd.

    Solicitor General John Sauer has also pointed to it while arguing #SCOTUS should let #Trump deploy #NationalGuard troops to #Chicago [these Trump attys🙄].

  7. “Excited Delirium” Is Pseudoscience. Police Often Cite It to Justify Brutality.

    For decades, police, medical examiners, and coroners have used the term used to cover up killings in police custody.

  8. John Amato highlights the tragic legacy of George Floyd's murder on May 25, 2020, by Derek Chauvin, who used excessive force, igniting nationwide protests. The article reviews Chauvin's conviction and critiques former President Trump's response, suggesting it fueled systemic racism in law enforcement. Amato warns that current political trends threaten to reverse progress made since Floyd's death.

  10. This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

    Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
    #DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

  11. #UNH drops charges against 7 out of 12 people arrested during #ProPalestine #protests

    By Jeremy Margolis, Concord Monitor
    Published August 1, 2024

    "A University of New Hampshire prosecutor this week dropped criminal charges against seven of the people arrested during a May 1 pro-#Palestine protest after they reportedly accepted plea agreements.

    "The seven cases were dismissed nearly three months after UNH police charged 12 people with disorderly conduct and trespassing, nine of whom were set to be arraigned in Dover District Court on Wednesday.

    "The agreements involved 30 hours of community service and a period under which the arrestees must remain in 'good public standing', according to Adeena Ahsan, a UNH graduate student who was not arrested but had been in communication with those offered plea deals.

    "UNH prosecutor #FrankWeeks [who is also a police captain] declined to comment on the nature of the plea deals.

    "Of the other five people arrested, charges had already been dropped against a 'counter-protester' after a friend of his emailed then-President of UNH James Dean that he had been 'mistaken for a protester,' according to a report from the Boston Globe.

    "Cases remain pending against the other four, including against two students who are also facing assault charges. One of them, 21-year-old rising UNH senior #AidanTurner, has said he was mistakenly identified and then violently #arrested by Weeks, the UNH prosecutor who is also a police captain. His case is currently set to go to trial on Sept. 10.

    "The other, 29-year-old graduate student #SebastianRowan, has been charged with two counts each of assault on a police officer and #ResistingArrest. His case is currently before a grand jury with an indictment decision expected by Aug. 21, according to court records.

    "The other two people – 21-year-old #JasonPerra and 19-year-old #LoganONeill – have trials scheduled for October 2 and 9, respectively. Both have been charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct. It was not immediately clear whether they had been offered a plea deal or not."
