People who claim they oppose defunding policing because others don't like it are just covering up their own pro police pro authoritarian viewpoint. When push comes to shove they don't actually care about other people's views.

The "defund the police" cost Democrats countless elections claim always sits awkwardly with the fact that peak "defund" activism was 2020, the year that Democrats won their first federal governing trifecta since 2008.

This is a good moment to remind everyone just how abusive even police admit they are. It’s an open secret. Even the FBI found that 40% of responding cops reported that they committed physical abuse against their spouse in the last 6 months. That’s 10 times more than the general population.

Steve Held@peoplesfabric.bsky.social · last mo.

His ex-wife said “that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship,” and he asked her to lie for him. Exactly the kind of chud you’d expect to work for ICE.

ICE=cops. Cops lie. They are trained to lie. And the next time @npr.org asks for your money, tell them no. You can't quote ICE, never note that they have lied about every single shooting investigation, and keep pretending you’re a journalist. www.mainepublic.org/maine/2026-0...

Children are becoming ill due to high classroom temperatures. Yet the DfE has excluded climate threats or eco anxiety from their updated KCSIE (keeping children safe in education) guidance.
