New research from North Carolina finds body-worn cameras reduced Black incarceration rates by 10.5%. When prosecutors see what actually happened instead of relying solely on police reports, racial disparities in convictions and sentencing shrink. https://ow.ly/RWsv50YR4Zq

It's doubtful that SCOTUS will care. We'll probably have to make big changes to our government before we can do anything to fix this. Hopefully, King Trump won't confiscate any ballot boxes, and we'll be able to count the votes in November, assuming that he allows Congress to be seated in January.

Will your vote matter? If Trump confiscates the ballot box, it's game over. Try doing something before it's impossible, maybe get with some of your friends here to talk about it. We used to do it all the time. But we were willing to do more than just want change. www.earthcam.com/usa/dc/washi...
