Food delivery is great. Also, something she likes! A lot of people will get the baby things, so I like to also get the new parent something too. Maybe she could use a new robe, slippers, nice moisturizer, etc.

Yes! Big, long time fan of Sacco (and both graphic novels and graphic journalism.) Footnotes in Gaza is a great example of systems journalism, history and storytelling. To get back to the thread I think journalism can be an entry point for change. But often can’t work on its own.

New from John Cassidy: the BBC has published their guidance for alt text, including for visual journalism graphics. #a11y is often ignored in #dataviz so glad to see these guidelines in place & shared so others can adopt them.

A Sacramento Superior Court Judge is compelling CDCR to produce records more quickly.
But in its most recent motion, the prison agency estimated that it still needs more than 9 years to produce an additional 925 incidents that are responsive to KQED’s requests. www.kqed.org/news/1198227...

In the U.S. 1,000+ people died after law enforcement officers used “less-lethal” force.
No more than a third of the cases the AP identified are listed in federal mortality data as involving law enforcement at all.
Really important work.

Experts say these deaths should simply not be happening, as they can be prevented by quickly moving someone into a recovery position. Cardiologist Dr. Alon Steinberg, who studies prone restraint, said, “it's horrible because you're just watching a preventable death.”

California moved to end the use of maneuvers like these in 2022 with AB490, which bans police maneuvers that put people in positions that restrict their breathing. However, our investigation found two people who have died after being restrained prone since it became law.

For about half of the time Sutherland was restrained, Officer Afanasiev was laid across his back as Sutherland panicked and begged for his life, moaning, saying that he can’t breathe and calling out for his mother.

Prone restraint can be safe, experts say, so long as people are quickly moved onto their side or sat up once they’re handcuffed, called a recovery position. Officers handcuffed Sutherland within 30 seconds. And continued to hold him down for eight minutes.

Between 2016 and 2022 — the years California’s use of force database covers we found at least 22 people who died after being held facedown by police officers. One of these people was Shayne Sutherland, who died outside of a convenience store in Stockton after police held him down for 8 minutes.

Excited to be on Insight this afternoon discussing my investigation into prone restraint with Emily Zentner. Since the 90s, medical & law enforcement experts have warned that restraining people facedown — called prone restraint — can be deadly. Using FOIA we found people are still dying this way.

Important point by @propublica.bsky.social’s Haru Coryne and Sophie Chou at #NICAR24:
When reporting on racial disparities, we _inevitably_ have to grapple with specific social and moral values.
This type of problem is all about balancing concerns! You can’t “objectivity” your way out of it.

Maybe not? I can’t read the names from the screenshot. But if that’s a Scythe lizard, or Therizinosaurus, in Madagascar it should be in Mongolia. Similarly I can’t tell if thats a Stegosaurus in SE Asia. My understanding is they’ve mostly found theropods and sauropods in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos.

All 22 cases involved people in crisis, either struggling with addiction, mental illness or otherwise behaving erratically. - Almost half of those who died were Latino, followed by white people - Two of those who died were armed, but not with guns
