The genocide in Gaza hasn’t ended. Israeli soldiers are boasting publicly about their ongoing crimes because they’ve so far faced zero consequences. Our government should be imposing sanctions on a military that announces its intent to commit genocide like this. Instead, we’re funding them.

Activists are suing the LA Police Department over its partnership with surveillance company Flock Safety, accusing the department of hiding public records tied to the camera network. Various organizations gathered outside LAPD headquarters demanding more transparency.
