    For the past 2 years, @DarwinBondGraha & I have been plugging away on our history of OPD & Oakland, trying to get at the deeper story behind the longest-running police reform saga in the US. THE RIDERS COME OUT AT NIGHT publishes 1/10/23. Preorder here simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ride…

    Subway conductor just announced our train was stopped for a “police inspection.” Then, for 5 minutes, pairs of officers walked thru the cars and platform. No specific complaint, per officer, just looking “for any kind of violation.” (They got a tourist for vaping). Is this new?

    This is stunning stuff. TESLA tried to have a whistleblower SWATTED, arrested & placed on a mental health hold in retaliation for him going to journalists with safety violations. Bravo to this police officer for documenting the entire interaction in writing

    To be clear, the New York Times cut a deal with Jordan 'Cremieux' Lasker, an ALREADY IDENTIFIED EUGENICIST AND FAR RIGHT ACTIVIST, to get hacked data from Columbia for a story casting aspersions on Zohran Mamdani's hyphenated identity. THAT's the true story

    NEW: Mamdani has made his identity as a Muslim immigrant of South Asian descent a key pt of his appeal. But he claimed another label when he applied to Columbia. Asked to ID his race, he checked that he was “Asian” but also “Black or African American” nytimes.com/2025/07/03/nyr…

    Timothy Wilson, right wing fanatic, dies in confrontation with FBI while en route to attack a hospital filled with Covid-19 patients in Belton, Missouri. Wilson was under FBI surveillance since last September. Unclear if he killed himself or shot to death nyti.ms/2wrdOhr

    I genuinely don't think American journalists understand how much has been lost with the demise of the Alt-Weekly. The oppositional sensibility, long-form writing style, and sense of humor has never been replaced, let alone the arts coverage.
