if you oppose multi-family housing in your neighborhood you are pro-homelessness. you love it and you think there should be more

One cool thing about being on vacation is periodic unexpected panic moments about work shit I forgot about
Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people βI donβt care what you did, people werenβt made for prisons.β The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.
Bummer that Metro Council went ahead and appropriated the money. Here's hoping the mayor's office uses it differently than they seem to want to. I look forward to seeing the RFP
Without going all Martin NiemΓΆller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.
Have we considering telling everyone that "CFPB" actually stands for College Football Playoff Broadcasts? Because that seems like it would really solidify public opinion against meddling with it.
NEW: Homelessness is at a record high, and there are many investigative stories to tell. Weβve compiled some of the tips and lessons we learned from our sources for other reporters pursuing this coverage.
Republicans want to turn this country into a fascist theocracy. As Democrats, we must put aside our differences and work with them to help achieve this reality.
Do a disproportionate number of Teslas have vanity plates? Can someone do a study on this?
This is my current number one beef with the city because my normie friends donβt understand why Iβm so mad about this issue constantly. The cute little government faces say there are beds and the people on the streets say there are not, and the normies believe the government.
It is worth pointing out that "these things" do not in fact "happen" when you don't prioritize the enforcement of stupid laws over helping people.
Anyway I think anytime the state wants to allocate extra money to the police, 50% of it should have to go to their Open Records compliance departments for additional personnel
So what are they spending all that time redacting? Good question. The law allows them to redact "information of a personal nature where the public
disclosure thereof would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy." Your guess is as good as mine as to what that means
Meanwhile, here's 2.5 hours of completely unredacted video posted to LMPD's YouTube page on December 19, 2024. I requested this exact video on December 8, 2024, and was told it would be available on June 9, 2025, after it got redacted: youtu.be/_hnaAr9GPh0?...
While I'm sure everyone just takes my word for it, here is Louisville Metro Police Department's standard response to a request for body camera. I placed this request on December 22,2024, and the projected date the records will be available is June 23, 2025
Here in Louisville, body camera ORRs take 6-8 months to "redact." Which is remarkable, because when the police want something to be public they seem to have no qualms with releasing unredacted video. What I'm saying is, this is probably an area of open records stuff to keep a close eye on nationwide
Anyone else submit Open Records Request appeals for fun in the evenings? Or is that just me?
if this winter storm pans out, please spare a thought for our homeless neighbors and remember that even when white flag is declared, there are not enough shelter beds available
Of course! They also attached some extra documents which aren't all that interesting (the FOP's answer to the complaint, a couple copies of the CBA, etc.). Those documents are here if you want to view them: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4e3m7...

When Sydney Jones arrived at Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto during a mental health crisis, her family assumed she would soon receive treatment.
Instead, the hospital sent her to jail, though she was charged with no crime.

Murderous elves bringing final peace to worn out Santas
I saw something that might be a conspiracy theory but apparently the elves are hanging around Scott Calvin before Santa's death and that's because the death is planned in advance. So I'm thinking they had made peace with it.
And lo, her time had come, and it happened that on that night, there were @lmpd.ky officers and @mayorcraiggreenberg, and they were not filled with the spirit of the Lord. At all. In any regard. Just the opposite, in fact. @courierjournal
The solution to homelessness is the provision of quality housing.
The rule doesn't have to be changed for the DoP to stop utilizing the discretion granted by the rule.
Because it's an obviously correct thing to do in a world where the next Director of the Bureau of Prisons could be a complete nut who does not exercise the discretion that press release is talking about
We're back babyyyyyy
