The NYPD Commissioner Responded to Our Story That Revealed He’s Burying Police Brutality Cases. We Fact-Check Him. Commissioner Caban identified no inaccuracies in our investigation but instead argued it was unfair and that he’s “in compliance” with the guidelines. Our reporting shows otherwise.

“Paxton’s decision to sue Annunciation House came against the backdrop of a yearslong effort by right-wing Christian groups and figures to paint immigrants as part of a Democratic plot to undermine American Christianity — despite a large percentage of migrants being Christian.”

The NYPD restored more than 2,000 missing discipline records to its public database of uniformed officers, weeks after ProPublica revealed data reliability issues. But it also removed case numbers, making future oversight more difficult.

If you're looking for some digestible (if infuriating) background on how the right wing corrupted the US judicial system, I recommend @propublica.bsky.social's podcast "We Don't Talk About Leonard."
Hate to say it, but climate activists now need to care a whole lot about reforming the courts.

Orphaned wells are a climate and public health nightmare. The oil industry continues to dump *billions* in cleanup costs onto taxpayers and is fighting reform efforts.

An NYPD officer grabbed Brianna Villafane by the hair and pulled her to the ground.
The agency that examines police abuse allegations concluded that the officer’s conduct could constitute a crime.
Then the police commissioner intervened.
