For the past year, we’ve been haunting courtrooms, chasing transcripts & hanging around political clubhouses to investigate the machinations of NY’s broken judicial system. How do judges become judges in NYC? And how is it harming regular New Yorkers? Read all about it at our beautiful new website!

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

One part of NY's 2019 criminal justice reforms that hasn't gotten clawed back yet is a law that says cops can't arrest and lock people up on low-level charges—they have to give them an appearance ticket. The NYPD response, it seems, has been to simply ignore the law.
