I can’t think of a clearer example of the failure of centre-left leadership in the western world. Socialised medicine exists across the industrialised, capitalist world. It’s not radical. It’s not communism. It’s popular. It exists for reasons free market economics can explain. And yet… 🤦

The National Association of Black Journalists gives Stephen A. Smith the “Thumbs Down” award for his “recurring public pattern of disparaging public commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports and media.”

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

I’ve said before that we spent so much time on why Trump won and why Harris lost and not enough time asking why Trump didn’t *lose*, which isn’t the same as why he won. I think asking that might have gotten us to accept the fascism of it all faster.

I don't think a woman losing an election is damming, what concerns me is that an openly misogynistic man who admitted to assaulting women on tape won.

THE KID WHO DOES BIRD CALLS IS BACK!! The Atlanta Hawks got him to do their schedule release by doing different bird calls for their opponents

Here are things that happened at the DNC today: 1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted 2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base 3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries Great results here
