4261. RT @msolurin It’s always “identity politics” when marginalized groups want equal representation but never when white people come out in droves to vote for white supremacists whose entire platforms are white supremacy. Interesting.

4262. Reform/Transform: A Policing Policy Toolkit to provide local elected officials, policymakers, and organizers with a resource on how to evaluate policing reforms according to a set of standardized criteria across jurisdictions.

Over the course of 2019, they engaged local elected officials and community leaders in a range of communities to evaluate their localities' policing practices using the Reform/Transform toolkit. The first results of the Reform/Transform toolkit were turned into an interactive scorecard on 12 cities: Chicago, Dallas, Durham, Louisville, Madison, Minneapolis, New York City, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.

The results evaluate four areas of policing practices that correspond to the Reform/Transform toolkit: use of force, independent oversight, co-optation of local law enforcement for federal immigration enforcement, and investments in public safety beyond policing.

I designed the web pages, along with a system to output updated templates drawing from Google Sheets of the analyses.

4266. RT @jasonhickel Capitalism works according to a simple, straightforward formula: take more, from labour and from nature, than you give back in return. It should come as no surprise that this system generates perpetual crises of inequality and ecological breakdown.

4267. RT @billmckibben Americans are understandably preoccupied right now. But a typhoon with winds gusting to 235 mph is now crashing into the Philippines--possibly the strongest storm ever to make landfall on earth. If you pray, now would be a good time twitter.com/gdimeweather/s…

4268. RT @OnthePrisonLine Empathy and deep loving care make me good at this job but also mean I am constantly wounded. Always repeating this Simone Weil quote to myself: "Human existence is so fragile a thing and exposed to such dangers that I cannot love without trembling."
