Just a reminder that calling for more body cameras = demanding more money for the manufacturer, AXON—one of the funders of Cop City.
Additionally, AXON has stated numerous times that the body cams are designed to be more useful in acquitting cops than holding them accountable.

Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.
"That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty," the author says. n.pr/40bJHDa

BREAKING: The Biden admin will now reject all Haitian, Cuban and Nicaraguan asylum seekers who cross illegally, and cap entry from those places and Venezuela at a total 30,000/month.
Biden has deported ~40,000 people to Haiti, amid humanitarian crisis, cholera and gang violence.

BREAKING: @JackBox workers in Sacramento have walked off the job on strike
After a pregnant co-worker was threatened at gunpoint, she was told to finish her shift & her hours were cut when she refused. This is obscene.
We've filed a complaint with CalOSHA.

My name is Stacey Abrams. I’m a daughter, sister, aunt, author, small business owner, tax attorney and public servant.
Georgia deserves real leadership that will expand opportunity, not limit it.
I’m running for governor to help every Georgian thrive.

Washington, DC already has more police per capita than any US jurisdiction.
But it’s still the only capital in the democratic world whose citizens don't have full voting and representation rights.
DC doesn't need more police. DC needs statehood.
DC.. Mayor Bowser continues to push her budget proposal for more police. nbc4dc.com/wrAGXCF

My job is literally in the constitution, I defend my clients’ rights every day in a system that is rigged against them. I do something meaningful with my law degree. Maybe you should try it?

There is this push for “workload studies” to show the need for more funding for public defense. Let me save everyone some time - PROSECUTOR OFFICES RECEIVE TWICE AS MUCH FUNDING AS PUBLIC DEFENDER OFFICES!
We don’t need another study, we need parity. #FundPublicDefense

"Youth prisons are ineffective at reducing recidivism, as 70% to 80% of youth are rearrested within a few years. Additionally, Pennsylvania spends $211,000 to incarcerate a child, compared with the $16,000 we spend on average to educate a child" inquirer.com/opinion/comment…

If you think the concept of abolishing police & prisons today is too radical to be entertained, you would not have been an abolitionist working to end slavery which was an equally radical notion & carried criminal penalties for those who disrupted the slave economy.
