NYPD is guarding the son's room and refusing to let his father visit him as he lays there dying, all because the NYPD doesn't want their victim making legally admissible statements about how quickly these officers shot him four times.

"I didn’t go asking for help just for him to get killed.”
Santo de la Cruz called 311 to get his son mental health treatment in a hospital. But — in a scene that lasted just 28 seconds — NYPD shot Raul, who now has a 10% chance of survival gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi

It’s actually worse than $40mil. There was the initial bribe to unfreeze the accounts of $40mil, and then an additional thank you transfer of “tens of millions” when the accounts were unfozen.

New York’s failure to curb this egregious, extensively documented lawbreaking is a municipal scandal.

Anyway, the skeleton key for a lot of US politics around guns is to remember that the NRA is a lobbying group for gun manufacturers, not gun owners

You ever think about how the US has more guns than people, 3% of the population owns 50% of the guns, and how guns are expensive, but median household US income is $67k, and the media still codes guns as a working class issue? Lots of dots to connect there!

Flipped on The Bachelor just in time to see the most graceful response to losing the final I’ve ever seen. Good for Gabi.

People like Vance used to blame school shootings on bullying and mental health to avoid talking about guns but this really puts them into a corner where the source of the mental health issues and bullying is the school, and that’s probably worth talking about!

I’m doubtful the reports are accurate, but if they are, there will be absolutely no soul searching from people like this about how an environment that teaches someone that who they are is an abomination not fit for society would drive them to do something wildly antisocial

We're still learning about the horrific shooting in Nashville. But if early reports are accurate that a trans shooter targeted a Christian school, there needs to be a lot of soul searching on the extreme left. Giving in to these ideas isn't compassion, it's dangerous.

it continues to be funny that most spaces on this site have very few visible bots, but elon et al think it's a huge problem because their social media circles have been identified as particularly susceptible to scams

If nobody cool pays for the blue check then the For You section will just be full of bozos like Cat Turd, they become the face of the site, shareholders and potential buyers/ad salesmen looking at guys like Cat Turd. Seems bad for business but I dunno, not a businessman

Infuriating. Raul de la Cruz' dad called 311 (not 911) to get medical help for his son. Cops (not health workers) came, escalated & shot Raul within 22 SECONDS - shouting in English.
Raul's in critical condition & NYPD won't let his dad see him in the hospital.
Quote Tweet
UPDATE: Santo said officers yelled orders at his son in English. But Raul doesn't understand English gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi

Yeah whatever, people weren't critical of an image with absolutely no effect on anything beyond "Hey, look at this cool jacket". I don't think we all need to get bees in our bonnets about it.
