According to a recent investigation by the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller, law enforcement officers being trained by the for-profit training company Street Cop were “taught unconstitutional policing tactics, glorified violence, denigrated women and minorities, and likely violated a myriad of state laws and policies.” Street Cop does business with law enforcement agencies in 46 different states.

A recent report by Disability Rights California reveals widespread neglect and abuse of people in Los Angeles County held under mental health conservatorship. In LA County last year, over 800 people were held in jail or locked in psychiatric units longer than they needed to be. According to Michelle Kotval, senior staff attorney at Disability Rights California, this issue is especially harmful for people placed in LPS (mental health) conservatorships by the County because their right to make

2024/03/20

After taking a trip out of the country, leaving his home in Portland, Oregon, to visit Sudan in 2010, Yonas Fikre was approached by FBI agents who tried to recruit him as a government informant. Most likely because he refused the FBI’s advances, he was arrested, tortured, and interrogated, and then placed on a No Fly list. He was stuck outside the US for 6-or-so years. That story is itself appalling, and we’ll hear it in more depth in just a moment, but, on Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled with a

2024/03/20

We have a dramatic lack of affordable housing options, but for decades, federal policymakers have stripped away public resources. One problematic result is a privatized, market-driven orientation to affordable housing through what are called Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Properties. A new report says that policymakers must act to rein in corporate profiteers by increasing accountability that ensures affordable housing, with dignity for all. That report is called The Failure of For-Profit Affordable

2024/03/19

Returning to our ongoing coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, we take a look now at one of the ways we may be feeling the impact of that war here in the U.S. According to FBI statements, they are investigating thousands of threats that have to do with radicalization in the US as a result of the genocide. It could be part of a rhetorical build up to continue to over-fund national security agencies. Joining us to discuss is Daniel Boguslaw, a Washington DC-based investigative reporter for The Intercept

Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, sexually assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder

Is the US culpable of the war crimes being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people? Khury Petersen-Smith, Michael Ratner Middle East Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies says, “If the US actually said, ‘We’re going to stop the flow of weapons to Israel,’ that is the one thing that I think could lead to an Israeli deescalation across the board—in Gaza, in Lebanon and in Jerusalem. Short of that, I think that they essentially have the green light in Washington to do whatever they

When #BlackLivesMatter emerged in 2013, it animated the most consequential Black-led mobilization since the civil rights and Black power era.

We’re joined today by the author of a book about the past 10 years of political movement, Christopher Paul Harris.
