A Path Forward - Dawn Poindexter - Inquest After losing my son to gun violence, I started interviewing people who had taken a life in order to understand how we were trapped in the same cycles of suffering—and how we could heal.

"Despite my personal loss, I found myself feeling empathy not just for the victims, but for the perpetrators who were, in many ways, victims themselves." A grieving mother's journey to heal her community—a collab with @thejusticecollab.bsky.social inquest.org/a-path-forwa...

It’s not just Trump. Red states are cracking down on their own blue cities. In Mississippi, GOP lawmakers expanded the reach of the Capitol Police in Jackson and created a separate judicial system there.

“It’s part of the narrative that these cities are incapable of administering public safety even though crime is on a downswing since the pandemic...You still need a foil to blame for problems that are real and imagined...”-Jorge Camacho, The Justice Collaboratory

Opinion | One Concrete Way to Make the Justice System Fairer

"The greatness of our justice system comes from fairness, equality and liberty before guilt is proven. Mr. Trump’s executive orders only move us further away from those goals — and thousands of Americans will pay the price."

The Data Doesn’t Support Trump’s Justification for Deploying the National Guard Trump has taken over policing in D.C. and threatened to do the same in other cities. A Trace analysis shows that his claims of runaway violence are false.

“I think they view their mission very differently than one rooted in local policing...That’s not what they do and that’s not what they want to do. And frankly, I don’t think that’s what anyone wants them to do, aside from Donald Trump.” -JC Policy Director, Jorge Camacho bit.ly/47ubqFy

When are major media outlets going to cover the extraordinary white supremacist links of Vance, Musk, and many of the DOGE staffers? There is absolutely no modern parallel for what’s happening: a presidential administration taking instruction from white nationalist extremists.
