2024/01/25

In Oakland, the city has been examining the potential for reintroducing a former police program called Operation Ceasefire. It’s a carrot and stick program, where the Police Department identifies people they believe to be violent, offer them social services and support structures while also threatening them with significant criminal enhancements like state and federal charges in the case that they are arrested for any crime. It turns out that the carrot portion of Operation Ceasefire had a positive

State Terror Round Up for the week of January 22nd, 2024

KPFA - Law & Disorder w/ Cat Brooks ·

2024/01/25

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

2024/01/24

Starting in the 1970s, small groups of feminist activists met regularly to study anatomy, practice pelvic exams on each other, and learn how to safely perform a procedure known as menstrual extraction, which can end a pregnancy, using equipment easily bought and assembled at home. This “self-help” movement grew into a robust national and international collaboration of activists determined to ensure access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion, at all costs—to the point of learning how to do

For years, in driving around the Bay Area it’s been common to spot pink billboards from a company called JewBelong, with pro-Jewish statements ranging from “Jewish Mothers: The original Yelp” to “All jews welcome. Refreshments and guilt to follow”. More recently, those billboards have become a strange and sinister zionist platform, recently printing statements like “Hamas is your problem too” or “keep calling me a zionist – nothing makes me prouder”. JewBelong posted on its instagram a particularly

2024/01/18

State funding for public defenders is being scrapped by Governor Gavin Newsom, who ran for office on a platform of reforming the criminal legal system. While over-funding an already-inflated policing budget over false claims of a retail theft crisis – to the tune of $300 million – the Governor has announced $40 million in cuts to public defense funds that were intended to support reducing the state’s prison population.

In San Francisco, police issues at the city level seem to be ever-increasing, from Mayor London Breed planning to increase spending on police, to the force violating their own high speed chase policy, and a repressive response to drug users while politicians – including the police chief – say that they support non-law-enforcement alternatives while refusing to fund those programs.

We have been devastated to see intentional attacks on Gaza’s medical infrastructure by Israel and even more mortified to see western medical communities response of indifference and even in some cases support for what zionists say is Israel’s right to defend itself. Not all medical professionals however have taken that stance. Joining us to discuss is Dr Jess Ghannam, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Global Health Sciences in the School of Medicine at UCSF.

On Monday, the world will honor the birthday of one of the greatest leaders of all time – Dr Martin Luther King Jr. For many, the legacy people celebrate is white washed and sanitized. King was a revolutionary, who believed in interrupting business as usual and had the courage to stand up to white supremacy no matter the cost. He told the world that America was the greatest purveyor of violence on the planet, and for it, he was assassinated. Today we’ll discuss King’s radical legacy with guests

Deaths resulting from interactions with the US criminal legal system are a public health emergency, but the scope of this issue is intentionally ignored by the very systems that are supposed to be tracking these fatalities. We don’t know how many people die in custody each year, whether in an encounter with police on the street, during transport, or while in jails, prisons, or detention centers.

KPFA - Law & Disorder w/ Cat Brooks ·

2024/01/08

Pinkwashing and purplewashing are tools of Israeli propaganda that build a narrative around the Jewish state as a haven for women and queer people. The zionist arguments for these themes include statements like: Hamas would kill queer people or trans people, and that on the far opposite side Israel’s legal system protects those groups. It’s a framework that pits queer folks and women against Palestine, and in support of Israel. But activists say pink- and purple-washing are part of a false
