These characters should have been shipped, but Hollywood is too #woke to make that happen #DawnofthePlanetoftheApes #pcpolice #NotMyAmerica
New Planet of the Apes movies are a trip: transcendent, immaculate Ape sections that do *the best version* of every scene...then the most mediocre human scenes where all dialog is exposition...and sprinkled atop it all is some of the most forgettable music ever. I love them. 8/10

The freaks attacking that woman for being body slammed from a place of White Privilege are of course right that there’s nothing you can say to stop a cop from attacking you: “I’m a professor,” “I’m 12,” “I'm your wife,” “this is my house an you broke in,” “woof woof woof,” etc.
While this seems like a good thing, it is not If an armed squad can round up citizens and lock them in cages without enforcing an actual law, then they are NOT “law enforcement officers” They’re a military regime.

This is a jaw dropping story. NYC’s attorneys, obligated to report settlements and judgments against the NYPD, failed to report $1.2 billion in payouts over a 10 year period. Approximately half of the total payouts during that period. cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/04…
Getting rid of these exploitative practices is long overdue. Workers who were stuck in non-competes can now freely pursue their ambitions and get paid what they're truly worth. Let’s go!

I hope folks who were wary or skeptical of the summer 2020 demand to defund police now understand that police are simply the connective tissue for the state’s ability to actualize repression—not the magical municipal department that would save us all from “crime.”

Abbott claims he's cracking down on antisemitism (whatever that means) and the cops say they're just trying to deal with "illegal trespassers" (however defined) Absolutely despicable (and predictable) that nebulous crowd control laws are once again used as political cudgels.
