NEW: The NYPD is gearing up to pilot metal detectors with artificial intelligence in the subways to keep guns out. “This is our Sputnik moment. Like when Kennedy said we’re going to put a man on the moon,” Mayor Adams said just now.

Yooo. I see you @ewarren . “I’d like to talk about who we’re running against. A billionaire who calls women fat broads & horse faced lesbians, & not talking about Trump, I’m talking about Bloomberg. Dems take huge risk if we just substitute 1 arrogant billionaire for another.” 🔥

Amy Klobuchar is being considered by Joe Biden for attorney general, according to reports. In 2018, Klobuchar introduced legislation to dramatically increase the budget for a key cop-hiring program created by Biden’s 1994 crime bill.

A judge who dared call a cop out for lying under oath is being removed from the bench. Some truth: the ppl calling for bail rollbacks & more discretion for judges are the same ppl who’ll remove judges for using their discretion to discredit lying cops.

The Mayor is telling us we don’t have money for our libraries or for 3k, but we do have money for the Dept of Corrections to purchase *sub-machine guns.* Think about that.

The NYC Department of Correction is buying more than $90,000 in high-powered sub-machine guns for officers at Rikers Island. The purchase follows budget cuts where the department eliminated $17 million in job training and social services for detainees.

Every photo op of cops cleaning graffiti, giving out food, & yes, seemingly wholesome shit like removing bees is meant to be a distraction. Doesn’t change inherent violence of policing. Other workers can & should be doing these jobs. It’s the city’s job to fund that workforce.

Prosecutors in L.A. and San Joaquin counties announced plans to automatically dismiss or reduce some 54,000 marijuana-related convictions, part of a growing movement to offer a clean slate to Californians hamstrung by their past now that pot is legal.

I’m emphatically pro-Union. PBA isn’t part of the labor movement. Unions are meant to combat oppression, not fight for the ability to violently oppress. What other “union” uses bargaining power to ensure their workers arent accountable for misconduct that literally kills people.

At yesterday’s hearing I asked what the Admin is doing to make it safe for people in NYC & coming from out of state to obtain abortion care. I was disturbed when their answer was “partnering with NYPD.” Members of the public testified after that cops don’t make them feel safe. 🧵

NYPD threatening to arrest clinic defenders for “blocking pedestrian traffic” knowing full well the “pedestrian traffic” being blocked are religious zealots trying to harass patients seeking medical care.

Diversity won’t save us. Body cameras won’t save us. Dressings on an irredeemable, barbaric system hell bent on the violent maintenance of order, control and domination masquerading as the only possible stewards of safety. One of the greatest lies ever told. Defund and abolish.

Actually, empirical evidence shows that implementing decriminalization and supporting harm reduction strategies like safe consumption sites reduces overdose deaths by upwards of 30%. So yes, decriminalization of drugs literally saves lives.
