There’s a reason the far-right wanted @BetaCuck4Lyfe in a cage.

Now free of the shackles of eMonitoring (‘prison by an another name’), the PDX activist who took on an armed Nazi sent me

A LIST OF EVERY SINGLE CITY OF UVALDE EMPLOYEE — INCLUDING THE COPS

The Catch:

The latest info on the City of Uvalde website is 2 years old

When you click on an employee on the list, it doesn’t tell you their position — only their salary

When you click on the ‘full profile’ button, it takes you to a 3rd party data broker

Was this true May 23?

The entire Uvalde police department — now refusing to cooperate with state police — must be held accountable (@TENDEMANDS 4)

But even that won’t solve our problems.

Cops are not the answer to mass shootings or hate crimes — in spite of the copaganda

Do they *really* think increasing school “security” is the solution?

Or is it just all they’re willing to do?

Cause — icymi — this is what school “safety” officers do:

In addition to hiring a law firm to prevent an investigation into town police misconduct

In addition to journalists being threatened for doing their jobs

There’s this:

Trust me when I tell you…

No and no

Of course, it’s not enough for #UvaldePolice to threaten journalists and obstruct justice

The grieving parents are being targeted for merely asking for answers — and now feel as unsafe as their kids in school

Against police violence

Police funding *increased* in 2021.

And after Uvalde police watched children get massacred, and then lied about it

The city council voted to *increase* their budget too
