The Police Data Archive obtained 10 years of records of police shootings investigations in Mississippi. Weāre publishing it here for activists, journalists and communities interested in transparency and change: drive.google.com/drive/foldeā¦
Mississippi's attorney general says a Senatobia police officer was justified in the June shooting death of a 1-year-old boy while responding to a shoplifting call. The conclusion of the state's investigation follows months of mourning and calls for justice. cnn.it/4z0O5X6

holy fucking shit
"Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble."

Atlanta is a great example of how Black faces in high places wonāt save us. Nor will a wealthy Black elite. Atlanta has the worst income inequality and highest eviction rates in the United States. āBlack capitalismā is still capitalism.

The people in power want you to be stupid, empty serfs whose lives are measured only in terms of economic output. There is no public good, only the bottom line

Colin Kaepernickās new book has some NASTY observations and accusations against Jay Z. That Jigga and his higher ups called the Black Panther Party a āhate groupā to his face and that they were putting hit pieces out on him while Jigga was wearing his jersey on stage for performances.

This is what happens when you spend 2015-2026 platforming all the MAGA bullshit just because it helped ratings

American exceptionalism has cooked the brains of Black democrats to no end and they genuinely donāt see the intersections of resistance between Black Americans and Palestinians cause they donāt know how to resist outside of the neoliberal practices they were taught to believe in
During his interview with MSNOW's Symone Sanders-Townsend and Eugene Daniels, Hasan Piker talks about Hamas, the Palestinian resistance as a whole and the issue with the concept of a 'perfect victim.' He compares it with other liberation movements throughout history: "And that is the issue at the heart of the matter; people want perfect victims. Whether they be Black people engaging in the Civil Rights' struggle, historically, whether it be the forces against apartheid in South Africa, whether it be the liberation struggle in Algeria. The expectation from the white moderate or the expectation from people who enjoy the order that exists in civilized society, is that people are not supposed to fight back and try to even match the intensity or the violence of the occupation, the colonial entity or the forces of police brutality that are defending white supremacy. So, that's the reason why I make this distinction. I want people to start thinking; what would they do in that situation? What would they do if they lived in the world's largest open air prison that's hermetically sealed, that is a nuclear armed state, that is backed by the most powerful entity on the planet?"

Shut the company down, remove all the cameras. Send every executive and lobbyist who wanted this to prison forever.
Hackers ripped a Flock camera off a pole, dumped what was stored on it, and handed the files to WIRED and 404 Media.
One camera. 21 days.
~50,000 vehicles. 1.6 million images. About 3,300 cars a day. Peak day: 4,454.
Flock sold this as ālicense plate readersā with on-device encryption. The software on that box wasnāt just reading plates. It was tagging vehicles, bikes, and people. Dozens of shots of a single car. Bumper stickers. Even an American flag patch on a motorcycle bag.
They put the encryption key on the camera. Then acted shocked when somebody opened it.

They let a white man school them on state sanctioned violence and the parallel of Palestinians/black people in the diaspora and global south. The utter shame.

The strongest heat dome on Earth right now is sitting on Tennessee.
Heat makes air swell. The hotter the dome, the higher the whole atmosphere stacks up.
Over Tennessee, the halfway point of the atmosphere is 19,665 feet up. That is higher than over the Sahara. Higher than the Middle East. Higher than anywhere else on the planet.
Nashville hit 100 yesterday and is forecast to do it again today.

The Morrison that makes most sense for adaptation is JAZZ (Iām not pushing for it; #justsaying), but everyone overlooks it. JAZZ *could* be a beautiful period piece w the right director, cast, vision, and musicians for an incredible soundtrack!! It could be lush!
