Minnesota statewide strike, economic blackout to protest ICE on Friday
1/2 Supporting Diversity in Law Enforcement
🗣️ As a first-generation 🇩🇴🇺🇸Dominican-American from Boston, small business owner, and proud supporter of the Massachusetts Latino Police Officers Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, I was honored to attend their Winter Social and Fundraiser.
📚This vital event raises funds to support the Association’s mission: providing professional development and leadership training for Latino officers, and awarding the Manny Familia Scholarship, which creates…
2/2
…direct pathways for aspiring Latino law enforcement professionals to achieve their goals.
🗽When we support diversity in law enforcement, build real pathways to opportunity, and uplift Latino youth in leadership—we all rise.

Alexander McCoy: "I think there’s a very strong case that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms at all. If they encounter a situation that is potentially violent, they should simply retreat, and call local police to handle it."

BCA statement regarding investigation of ICE fatal shooting in Minneapolis

#HackerNews #BCAstatement #ICEshooting #Minneapolis #investigation #publicsafety
#Minnesota Gov #TimWalz directly addressed #Trump & #KristiNoem, #DHS secy, saying in a news conference: “You’ve done enough.” He said the #state does not need “any further help from the #federal government.”
Walz said the #shooting was “totally predictable” & “totally avoidable.” He said federal ofcls were NOT coordinating with local law enforcement.

#TimWalz has twice mentioned the #protests that followed the #murder of #GeorgeFloyd by a #Minneapolis #police officer in 2020, & lessons learned from that experience. The governor was criticized by some for not mobilizing the #NationalGuard more quickly at the time.
Bob Jacobson, the commissioner of the #Minnesota Dept of #PublicSafety, said a #state law enforcement agency was working with the #FBI to investigate the #shooting.

Citing "serious ethical concerns," journal retracts key Monsanto Roundup safety study
An inherently dangerous product - and product system - that has deleterious effects to all human, animal, and plant life on Earth. It works by injecting a genetic antidote to specified crops and then eventually killing everything else without any reliable means to prevent the toxic part - #glyphosate - from going everywhere. It's not "just a weed spray". Thousands have died and possibly tens of thousands permanently disabled or eventually-poisoned without knowing, with very specific oncology that can be identified in humans but isn't because we don't get tested for it.
Monsanto-Bayer has been getting away with it in large part because of a liability compartmentalization & management scheme that provides them virtual legal impunity; and the fraudulent "science" like this, for which they have paid lots of money. So it is a VERY big deal that this fake science has gotten retracted. Bayer will no doubt sue the fakescience/retractor publisher out of existence but that isn't the story.

"The left shouldn’t be afraid to add to its tasks ensuring the safety of ordinary people: there are clear signs of the growing decay of manners, of youthful gangs terrorising public spaces, from stations to shopping malls. Mentioning this decay is often dismissed as reactionary, with the insistence that we must look at the 'deeper social roots' of such phenomena, such as unemployment and institutional racism."

#London is safe! The brave #MetropolitanPolice #MetPol have again protected the city from terror.
On Saturday, over 350 cops made over 50 arrests in #TavistockSquare. The #terrorists arrested were yet again committing the deadly atrocity of holding paper signs opposing #genocide in #Gaza, and supporting #PalestineAction.
These grey-haired, elderly terrorists face lengthy prison sentences if convicted. #Starmer's govt stands firm against the #terroristThreat.

✨My new shirt supports LLEGO #Boston!
🤝🏽 For 8 years, this volunteer-led group of Latino law enforcement, public safety officers, and #community leaders has been strengthening trust and partnerships across Boston.
As a first-gen 🇺🇸🇩🇴EMT-B from Dorchester, I’m grateful to support their commitment. Representation matters, and diversity is a strength. This is how we build empowerment.

"As the #Liberals have shifted rightward—not just on #immigration but also on #military spending, #climate policy, and #publicsafety—the federal Conservative leader appears to have gone looking for an issue on which to distinguish himself. He is now signalling that scapegoating immigrants and people seeking asylum will be central to that plan." https://breachmedia.ca/poilievre-anti-immigrant-carney-policy-book/
