🧵National Night Out 2025✨

Community isn’t built in a day—but it starts with showing up.

A few years ago, I had a conversation with then-Captain Cronin—now Chief of Police here in Malden. I thanked him and the Malden PD for doing something simple but powerful: walking the streets, talking with residents, and making sure minority voices weren’t just heard, but respected.

That kind of presence matters. It’s how we start building bridges in our…

…community, which is why I’m proud to support events like National Night Out, happening this Tuesday, August 5th at MacDonald Stadium. Free food, music, and a chance to meet the officers and community public safety partners who serve our city.

Thank you to the Malden Police Department for their continued dedication to building trust and showing up for our community.

“The [UK] government should halt the expansion of facial recognition, before we sleepwalk into a surveillance state.”

It’s “invasive, harmful and should not be used, let alone expanded, without parliamentary scrutiny or public debate.”

Today in Labor History July 31, 1968: Students protested the Olympics in Mexico City. They occupied schools and began a General Strike. Cops violently attacked them. The violence culminated with the Tlatelolco massacre, October 2, during which the cops slaughtered 350-400 people, using snipers. They arrested and tortured over 1,300.

Alejandro Jodorowsky dramatized the massacre in his surreal film, “The Holy Mountain” (1973). In it, he showed birds, fruits, vegetables and other things falling and being ripped out of the wounds of the dying students. The late author, Roberto Bolaño, recounted the massacre in his novel “Amulet” (1999). He also retells the story in his novel, “The Savage Detectives.”

Philly Anti-Capitalist: Cameras Painted in Malcolm X Park

https://phlanticap.noblogs.org/cameras-painted-in-malcolm-x-park/

Submission Coasting off our excitement about autonomous self-organization, on the night of July 22nd we painted over all four cameras at Malcolm X Park. We want the park to stay the kind of place where people can meet and hang out without being surveilled, that’s why we took the game of Camover there. We’re holding…

London’s worsening disorder — from soaring petty crime to reckless delivery riders and rising drug use — reflects a decades-old pattern of authorities and citizens normalizing lawlessness. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/23/londons-deviant-behavior-problem/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #london #crime #police #drugs #sadiqkhan

A reminder to all the TERFs and transphobic queers out there that the first Pride was a riot, literally. And it was led by trans women and drag queens, including Marsha P. Johnson, as well as lesbians, who refused to submit to police bodily searches during a raid on the Stonewall Inn night club, and who fought back during the cops' attempts to mass arrest patrons and community members.

Ring reintroduces video sharing with police

‚Ring has once again started letting police request footage from users. Axon, a law enforcement technology company and maker of Taser, announced in April that it’s partnering with Ring to allow customers to share “relevant video with law enforcement to help solve crimes faster and safeguard neighborhoods,” as spotted earlier by Business Insider….‘

There are no words for how garbage this is. If you currently give money to Amazon in any capacity, please stop.

"Not only is the company reintroducing new versions of old features which would allow police to request footage directly from Ring users, it is also introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices.

[Ring founder Jamie] Siminoff has announced in a memo seen by Business Insider that the company will now be reimagined from the ground up to be “AI first”—whatever that means for a home security camera that lets you see who is ringing your doorbell. We fear that this may signal the introduction of video analytics or face recognition to an already problematic surveillance device."

Orgreave papers destroyed by police thought to include report on notorious truncheon beating

Why should we be surprised? And they may well be allowed to get away with it again. Political orders (one assumes from Thatcher’s government in this case) come with implied immunity.

Yesterday it was the MOD fuckup, today it is police ‘interpretations’ of support for Palestine and of genocide. Both be encouraged and supported by Westminster bar stewards.

À Nice, pour contester leur rétention, les étrangers doivent faire une visio au commissariat

Depuis septembre 2024, les retenus du CRA de #Nice passent leurs audiences devant la cour d’appel d’Aix à distance. Problème: la salle de visioconférence se trouve en plein cœur d’une caserne de #police. Plusieurs avocates tentent de faire reconnaître l’illégalité de ces audiences.
