A cop slapped a handcuffed man dying of a drug overdose. Called him a “bitch.” Shoved a baton in his mouth. That cop got suspended 6 days. But the cop who revealed the cruelty was expelled from the cop union. Now faces 20 years prison for whistleblowing.

This is truly sick stuff. Yes, epidemic curves have two sides! But the idea is to keep people alive and Florida's response was a horrible failure.

Long thread, but important: John Deere workers have reached out to me frustrated about media repeating company talking points that workers make 60-70k a year. One who's been there over a decade showed me what they made in 2020: Under $40k. So let’s talk about wages at John Deere.

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, I confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals ⤵️

The DA just requested 5K cash bail +15K insurance bond +15K partially secured bond for someone who received a near perfect CJA score (22 out of 25) & has no arrests in the last 10 years & is not working right now.
Judge Charlotte Davidson knew these facts & set cash bail anyway.

Recently, legislators who visited Rikers have been visiting arraignment proceedings to witness how the #RootsOfRikers can be traced back to ruthless bail setting practices in court rooms across the city.

In the last year, rents are up 12%. Home prices are up 23%.
It's not the 25-cent burger price increases that are killing people. It's that 40% of their income is now going to a private equity landlord and they have no shot at saving up for a house to build wealth.

Just watched someone who has never failed to appear for a case be assigned supervised release because of an assumed "flight risk to avoid prosecution".
When explaining why he should be supervised instead of released on his own recognizance, the DA & judge cited his prior record.

Okay but all jokes aside: What this chick did was really fucked up. The seat she took could’ve gone to another veteran—a real veteran— that was deserving of that gig.
The kicker: Even though she got fired, she was paid 100% of her contract.

Last week, NYT published a major story that suggested falsely that police prevent murder and that one reason for increased murders during a global pandemic was civil rights criticism of police! The NYT did not disclose that the reporter was former CIA/Palantir/police/DA paid.
