Report finds police cameras cluster in Rochester Black neighborhoods A new Police Accountability Board report finds Rochester blue light cameras concentrate in Black, Hispanic neighborhoods, with no link to crime data.

“City residents living in predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods are three times more likely to be under the watchful eye of police surveillance cameras than those in mostly-white neighborhoods, according to the Rochester Police Accountability Board.”

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

It's not that I had fond feelings about Neera Tanden before but I think her retweeting Nick Fuentes is pretty good evidence that twitter is a gamma radiation field for your brain

Surveillance company Flock generates controversy — and a roster of L.A. clients Other cities have ended their relationships with Flock Safety over its ties to the federal government and concerns about cybersecurity and privacy. But connections in the L.A. area endure.

“There’s very little evidence on the actual impact of these technologies on violent crime rates at all…”

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

HUD rule could push families with undocumented immigrants out of their homes A proposed rule could put nearly 80,000 people at risk of eviction, many of them U.S. citizen children. Undocumented immigrants don't get rental aid but can currently live with family members who do.

Under this HUD rule, about 37,000 children born in the U.S. could face homelessness because someone in their family lacks papers. That's roughly a baseball stadium full of kids.

Deliberate, gratuitous cruelty masquerading as housing policy.
