New #WeDeserveToBeSafe report shows that NYers in heavily policed neighborhoods want and need a different approach to community safety that invests in community resources—not more policing & criminalization—and holds NYPD accountable for abuse. bit.ly/wdtbsreport
I'm learning so much from this @LPEblog @MovementLawLab symposium. Like when I got to this moment in today's post: "what better way to subjugate people to a specific political and economic order than to dismantle networks of solidarity between individuals and communities?"
This quoted post is unavailable.
Yesterday’s @BKBF lineup at @brooklynlaw was incredible, especially this final one on Debt and Solidarity, organized & moderated by BLS Prof. Vijay Raghavan, with books by @LukeMessac @astradisastra @melissabjacoby & Chrystin Ondersma:

Very misleading, by Mayor Adams. The cop AND 3 civilians shot & injured *by NYPD*. 1 bystander reportedly shot in the head.
Injuries are from cops shooting recklessly on crowded subway, in pursuit of someone they say didn't pay $2.90 fare.
These NYPD actions make us less safe.
Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Note needed. What the mayor neglects to mention in this post is that the officer was shot by other NYPD officers. Those same NYPD officers shot two other bystanders in an attempt to apprehend someone who did not pay the $2.90 fare to ride the NY subway.

I have some thoughts on the conspiracy trials of #YoungThug and the #StopCopCity protestors….
Thank you @dnbrgr for this beautiful review of my & @orisanmi's books!
"Yesterday’s tactics are unlikely to secure tomorrow’s victories. The past offers an orientation, not an instruction manual, and successful struggle often requires an improvisational response to the moment."
In reviews, @dnbrgr reviews @orisanmi’s Tip of the Spear and @j_simonson’s Radical Acts of Justice, bringing together an account of prison revolts and their aftermaths and the recent wave of anticarceral organizing. An extremely useful, clarifying piece. nplusonemag.com/issue-48/rev…
