Phillip Jackson at HuffPost:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced a bill Wednesday that would give federal and state officials more power to hold police departments accused of bad behavior to account. The Enhancing Oversight to End Discrimination in Policing Act, led by Warren and in the House by Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-Wash.), would strengthen the power of state attorneys general to launch investigations into police departments involved in civil rights violations if the Justice Department fails to act on them. The bill would also task the Justice Department with looking beyond “traditional law enforcement mechanisms” when providing reforms to selective police departments such as mental health support, civilian oversight bodies, and community-based restorative justice programs, according to Warren’s office.
Warren had introduced a version of the bill in 2020. This newest version of the measure would also revitalize the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, granting an increase in funding to pursue civil rights investigations into police departments and other government offices accused of discriminatory practices. It would increase funding for the civil rights division to $445 million per year over a 10-year period. (For scale, the 2023 budget for the division was $189.9 million.)
Warren first introduced her bill following the death of George Floyd in 2020. That earlier draft also called for Attorney General Merrick Garland to rescind a 2017 memorandum from his predecessor, Trump-era Attorney General Jeff Sessions, that limited the DOJ’s ability to initiate consent decrees on police departments — a key way of stopping bad behavior. (Garland rescinded that memorandum in April of 2021.)
Nine senators co-sponsored the bill: Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). Several civil rights organizations are backing Warren’s new bill, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Urban League and others.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and 9 other co-sponsors in the Senate are supporting the Enhancing Oversight to End Discrimination in Policing Act to strengthen police accountability. Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) is pushing this in the House.

John D. Rockerduck and Jeeves (Lusky) with Rockerduck's family plus Donald and Scrooge - Duckverse - Gift for my friends
Once again I wish you a belated Valentine's Day, and on this occasion I drew a drawing of one of my beloved fictional couples from Donald Duck comics. It is about the love relationship between Rockerduck and Jeeves (Lusky) and that they are gay but the best partners in which they help each other. John Davison Rockerduck is the third richest duck in Duckburg and one of Scrooge's biggest rivals, but who knows how to use modern technology and spend money on everything just to beat Scrooge in the competition, and if he doesn't win, he eats his hat. He is often assisted by his butler, secretary and partner Jeeves (Lusky) and Rockerduck depends on him. Something similar to Albert Quackmore and Duckworth for Scrooge. Nevertheless, as a loyalist, he does not betray his boss and participates in the "crime" together. He often appears in Italian comics, but sometimes appears in other European comics as well. However, the two of them, even though they are not a couple in the comics, there are still many indications that they are in a romantic relationship and thanks to the fans of these characters, here I am to do my drawing related to the two of them.
Apart from them, there are Rockerduck's nephews, Ricky Rockerduck (who is Donald's age and likes to hang out with Donald, and is also clumsy), Simeon Rockerduck (Rockerduck's special nephew, similar to Donald's nephews) and Arsène, George and Patrick Rockerduck ( Rockerduck's nephews who are a pure copy of Donald's nephews, appeared a couple of times in Italian comics) who support their uncle Rockerduck, and there are also Donald Duck (who hangs out with Ricky) and Scrooge McDuck, Rockerduck's rival and best frenemy. I used mostly redraws from Topolino scenes and other European comics and combined some of my own in my own way (especially in the case of Rockerduck's nephews).
I hope you like this drawing and this Rockerduck/Jeeves pairing. And this is a gift for my friends, who told me that Rockerduck and Jeeves are great characters, especially for @salemaru (which was her birthday recently so this is also a birthday present), @rednevalbones and @bitterlynsposts. And thanks a lot for pointing me to these comics as well as new inspirations and this is my gift to you.
Feel free to like and reblog this if you like it! Just don't use these same ideas without mentioning me! Thank you!

Neon Knome: “Pilot” | February 22, 2010 (online) | Pilot
I have to admit: I don’t think I’ve ever watched this. I remember liking it, though. I think I just saw a clip and then forgot I never saw this whole thing and just assumed I must’ve liked it. Well: guess what? I liked it. 
I decided that I liked this so much (despite never having seen it) that I also, at one point, blind-purchased a Paper Rad (the art collective behind this and other things similar to this) DVD called Trash Talking about ten years ago, used at Amoeba records. Inside of it was a cardboard sleeve containing another DVD labeled Problem Solverz, the name of the TV show that Neon Knome sorta mutated into. That Problem Solverz is 23 minutes long, and doesn’t seem to have anything to do with this other than being in the same style. 
For those who don't know: this show was actually picked up, but not by Adult Swim; it aired on Cartoon Network and it's title was changed to Problem Solverz. I didn't watch it, either. The Cartoon Network show was reviled, currently sitting on IMDB with a 2 out of 10 user rating. WOW! I am assuming it's because it was too good.
A segment on the DVD for Trash Talking is a short called “Gone Cabin Carzy” (sic). It’s an actual precursor to this pilot, with the same guys in it and stuff. Also the kick-off segment of the DVD includes the narrator character from Neon Knome, but not voiced by famous gay internet user George Takai like he is here. 
The thing about this pilot is that is that the plot is sorta inessential. There IS a plot: three roommates find a large car-sized roller-blade in their yard. Fearing their landlord might get mad at them for storing something in their yard, they take it upon themselves to dispose of it. They camp out in the woods after getting lost, and it turns out that it belonged to their landlord, voiced by Amy Sedaris. That was the plot, which earlier, if you remember, I said was "sorta inessential". A better way to capture the show's essence is to focus more on the art style and the absurdist dialogue. The art looks amateure but elaborate, as if Windows added an animation suite to MS Paint. The humor is sorta Xavier-esque with it’s non-sequiturs, but not as coarse or vulgar. It’s mostly just weird stuff. 
It’s also HIGH ART and I respect it. It takes a special kind of brain to get me to laugh at three guys unrolling a huge sleeping bag. It’s not even a joke. Almost nothing in here is jokes. But it manages to be more amusing than most of these pilots. I’m glad it became a show, but I don’t think I agree with the decision to let something this weird be on Cartoon Network proper instead of Adult Swim. This is the kind of stuff Adult Swim needs more of. They dang-ass fumbled with this one. I'm guessing they found it too "PG" for the block. Weird to think Baby Blues was on Adult Swim but not this.
The entire thing is on youtube and archive. It shows a date from 2007 on the opening slate, but as far as I know made it's public debut here. I would like to bet it may have played at an animation or film festival or something like that.
NOTE: My ranking conventions originally dictated that I would wait until all installments of each pilot have aired (Soul Quest Overdrive and Yappy Broads still have additional episodes yet to premiere) but that’s a dumb, pointless rule and only demonstrates my pedantry. So: 
Neon Knome > Snake ‘n’ Bacon > Duckworth > Southies > Yappy Broads > Cheyenne Cinnamon > Soul Quest Overdrive

How Does Military Experience Shape Political Leadership?
Tumblr media
Military experience has long been recognized as a significant factor influencing political leadership. This article explores how prior military service shapes the decision-making processes, leadership styles, and policy choices of political leaders. By examining various studies by Kevin Vuong and historical examples, we can gain insights into the complex relationship between military backgrounds and political behavior.
The Influence of Military Experience on Leadership
1. Decision-Making and Risk Assessment
Research indicates that leaders with prior military service are more likely to initiate militarized disputes and wars. Specifically, those with military experience but lacking combat exposure tend to be more aggressive in their decision-making. This phenomenon can be attributed to their familiarity with military structures and operations, which often leads to a greater willingness to employ military force when faced with international challenges.
2. Psychological Impact of Military Service
The psychological effects of military training and combat experiences can profoundly shape a leader's worldview. Traumatic experiences during service can instill resilience, decisiveness, and a strong sense of mission—qualities that are crucial in political leadership. Such experiences often occur during formative years, influencing leaders' attitudes toward conflict and cooperation.
3. Leadership Styles Developed in the Military
Military training emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and performance under pressure, which are essential traits for effective political leadership. Veterans often bring these skills into the political arena, fostering collaboration and strategic thinking among their teams. For instance, leaders like former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower utilized their military backgrounds to navigate complex political landscapes effectively.
Historical Context of Military Influence in Politics
1. Historical Precedents
Historically, there has been a significant overlap between military and political leadership, especially in the early years of the United States. Figures such as George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant transitioned from military command to political office, shaping national policies based on their experiences.
2. Evolving Military-Political Relations
Post-World War II, there was a shift towards a more apolitical military ethos in the U.S., largely due to concerns about the implications of military involvement in politics. However, recent decades have seen a resurgence of veterans actively participating in political discourse, reflecting broader societal changes and an increasing civil-military divide.
Case Studies
1. John Kerry vs. George W. Bush
The 2004 presidential election highlighted the contrasting military backgrounds of candidates John Kerry and George W. Bush. Kerry's combat experience in Vietnam was leveraged as a critical aspect of his candidacy, suggesting that his wartime experiences equipped him with unique insights into military decisions compared to Bush's National Guard service.
2. Contemporary Examples
In recent years, numerous veterans have successfully transitioned into political roles, bringing their military insights into governance. Their experiences often inform their approaches to national security and foreign policy, as seen with leaders like Senator Tammy Duckworth and former Secretary of Defense James Mattis.
Conclusion
Military experience significantly shapes political leadership by influencing decision-making processes, leadership styles, and policy choices. As societies evolve and the nature of warfare changes, understanding this relationship becomes increasingly important for both policymakers and voters alike. The insights gained from military backgrounds can provide valuable perspectives on governance and international relations in an ever-complex world.

A Second Heartbreak: Salt Lake City's Fleet Block Tribute to Justice Faces Destruction
“One by one, the murals went up” says Rae Duckworth, leader of Black Lives Matter Utah chapter. Anyone who has been to Fleet block in Salt Lake City, Utah can tell you of their magnificence; wall after wall of vibrant pink and red murals depicting 29 people killed in police confrontations.
After the death of George Floyd in May of 2020, the collective grief and anger of the community inspired artists to pay tribute to the fallen. One mural turned into dozens, and it quickly turned into a space for solace and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Salt Lake City community. For the community, these murals are more than just paintings; they are tangible representations of shared history, a collective struggle, and an unwavering commitment to justice. But most of all, they serve as a constant reminder of the lives that were tragically cut short and as a powerful call to action for a more equitable and just future.
Lex Scott is the founder of the BLM Utah Chapter. Rae Duckworth joined in February 2019. Tragically, in September 2019, Rae needed the support of BLM more than she ever thought she would when she experienced a devastating personal tragedy. Rae’s cousin Bobby Rae Duckworth was shot and killed by police during a mental health crisis. Rae said of Lex and BLM Utah, “She had the supportive resources we needed to navigate the traumatic situation.” Rae developed a personal understanding of the importance of these types of resources, and when Lex Scott moved out of Utah, Rae took over as the Operating Chairperson of Black Lives Matter Utah Chapter.

The city council voted to rezone the area and claims that the building and the land is structurally unsound and there are environmental issues with the soil. In a press conference on December 14, 2022, Salt Lake City mayor, Erin Mendenhall, said that “The Fleet Block murals have been a catalyst of collective healing and of social change here in Salt Lake City.”  The city first announced plans to develop the area at her first state of the city address in February 2019, when the murals started appearing, the city paused their development efforts. Rae says,” When they tried to rezone it, the community pushed back. This is such an impactful place.”
Bobby Duckworth, pictured above, is one of the 29 faces memorialized in the Fleet Block. Reporter Blake Apgar of the Salt Lake Tribune spoke to a relative of a victim who said that seeing the depictions of their loved ones torn down would be like “losing our loved ones all over again.”
Rae says the rezoning went through without the consideration of the community members that stood against it. Since there was such significant community support for the murals, the city had a meeting with the families. The families insisted on opening the conversation up to the whole community, and in the meeting the city stated that they would begin working towards a “permanent memorial.” There is no estimated time of completion for the rebuild. Rae says, “People are able to come to this shared space, and grieve their loved ones who lost their lives due to state sanctioned violence. It’s a space where they can mourn collectively, not in isolation.” This is where the victims’ families processed their grief, and in the interim during the rebuild, there will be no place for them to go.
“If you are involved with your local politics-  you can create, influence, and participate in change. You don’t have to fear change.” Rae Duckworth
I talked at length with Rae about whether city officials are doing everything in their power to preserve the original pieces of artwork. When she mentioned that some of the families of those depicted have experience in construction, I asked whether preservation is possible or has been discussed. As far as she knows the city is not considering preservation efforts like cutting away the murals, storing them during the construction, and displaying them again post-development.
In the end, we aren’t sure why. Perhaps the city doesn’t see the immense value of this memorial to the community as a symbol of the city's unwavering commitment to social justice, perhaps they simply believe that the return on investment for preserving these original pieces wouldn't be worth the commitment of time and dollars, or perhaps the murals serve as a constant uncomfortable reminder of the state’s culpability in the tragedies.
So far, the only solidified plans are the demolition. They plan to separate the block into four pieces, and the larger piece is going to be the “green space” area that will incorporate the new memorial. The other three pieces are supposed to incorporate an accessible space for nonprofits to exist around this center. Many community members are calling for a Community Justice Center that acts as a one stop shop for social support - incorporating things like a library, mental health services, and other community support services.
The city distributed a flyer (displayed at the end of this article) at one of the public meetings stating which area is to be demolished and plans for a permanent memorial. The families are supposedly going to oversee the memorial. Since the city has determined that they are incapable of preserving the current memorials, they have no choice but to allow the demolition to go through, and hope that the city makes good on their promises to give the families and the community what they are looking for. However, some of the families are worried about the city gatekeeping when the time comes.
Rae says: “They haven’t been very accessible. They [the families] have made it clear what they desire and that they don’t have faith in them keeping their promises. The majority of the families had a loved one killed by police, in some cases in Salt Lake City. Some of the families received phone calls from the mayor’s office providing condolences, but in the same breath the city has refused to make the officers accept accountability or actively reform the police departments responsible for these tragedies.”
This poor urban area is transitioning. Wealthier people are moving to it, improving housing, and attracting new business. They are displacing current inhabitants in the process. Homelessness is a growing problem in the area. With increased unhoused and unsheltered communities, comes an increased police presence – which ultimately will mean more police violence.
Just across the street from the Fleet Block murals, 22-year-old Bernardo Palacios-Carbajal was killed when law enforcement fired 34 shots – striking him more than a dozen times. Rae said the officers were looking for a man with white skin, short black hair and a Spanish accent. Bernardo had long black hair midway to his back and brown skin. According to an article from the Salt Lake Tribune:
 “The Palacios-Carbjal family’s lawyers, Nathan Morris and Brian Webber, take issue with “the decision to shoot a fleeing suspect in the first place,” as he was running away. The first rounds struck the man in the back. There was a disagreement between one officer who said, ‘Tase him! Tase him! Tase him!” and the other officers who defaulted to the use of lethal force, shooting 34 times,” Morris said. “That right there makes me think that there’s an issue relating to the training and what is actually the default when it comes to chasing a fleeing suspect.”
Bernardo’s last words were: “Officer, I don’t want to die.”  When his body was recovered, his weapon had not been discharged.
Which brings us to BLM Utah’s, and by extension, Rae Duckworth’s eventual goal. Prevention. We talked about ways that can happen and changes she would like to see in her community in the next 5-10 years.
A Transparent and accessible mayor in Salt Lake City.
BLM Utah has always strived to be completely transparent with and accessible to the community. Salt Lake City citizens deserve to have a mayor’s office that is both transparent and accessible.
Real Accountability
Rae said, “the most achievable and simplest form of police reform – fire cops who kill people.” She recalls hearing a military veteran speaking at a community meeting about Bernardo. He said that if a single person was shot by an on duty military member 37 times the way they did Bernardo, that service member would immediately be discharged and court marshalled. Rae says, “They have similar equipment, but aren’t held to the same standards as our military, and for that we are doing our communities a disservice.”
Community Policing
“The idea of community policing is to give veterans a role in protecting their environments.” Ray says, “We saw it in Uvalde. When police wouldn’t enter the schools, community members would; veterans, neighbors, and mothers hopped the fence.”
Increased Statewide Support for MCOT
Utah needs better allocation of resources to MCOT, the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team. All mental health and crisis calls should be routed to them. MCOT is made up of professionals with life-saving skills that unfortunately police do not have. We need to extend MCOT throughout the state, especially in rural areas.
Extensive Background Checks
Anyone who purchases a gun or works near them needs to go through extensive background checks.
Officer Sean Grayson, the officer who killed Sonya Massey, was discharged from the U.S. Army for a “serious offense.” He also worked in six different departments over a four-year period. He had previous DUI charges on his record, and it was recommended that he take “high stress decision” training. With past blemishes like this, how can people like this be allowed into our police departments.
City Sponsored Resources for Affected Families
When a person falls victim to police violence, we would like to see the mayor’s office be responsible for mental health care following the event.
Updated Body Cam Requirements
When this article’s author used to work in a call center, I was only paid for time that I was logged into the system and ready to receive a call. Similarly, officers should only be paid for time when their body cams are running.
Body Cam Footage Availability
Without fail, body cam footage must be made publicly available within 7-10 days after an incident.
Increased Education and Training
To qualify to be a police officer, you should be required to undergo extensive training, evaluation, and certification. They are dealing with the public, and with that comes a myriad of cultures and concerns. They need to be prepared to address any situation that comes their way with confidence.
Abolish School Resource Officers
We must abolish policies and practices that lead students, particularly those from marginalized communities, into the criminal justice system. This includes disciplinary policies that are unnecessarily harsh, zero tolerance approaches, and the use of school resource officers.
Rae says, we have to dismantle the school to prison pipeline – where we see LGBT youth, people with special needs and obstacles, people with mental and physical disabilities, and marginalized communities disproportionately affected. And having law enforcement, who have already established no boundary of law operating inside of a school with children; it is terrifying.
There’s also a report from the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights that says school resource officers are “significantly more likely than other police to be arrested for sex related offenses. SROs can operate with little oversight because their immediate supervisors are usually located off-site at local police departments and often supervise SROs at multiple schools.”
Improved Mental Health Resources in Schools
We would like to see budget resources shifted from school resource officers to professionals trained with health in mind. Rae says, “when incidents of violence happen involving a school resource officer, it’s commonplace for us to hear police aren’t trained. Get people in there who are trained.”  A nurse and mental health therapists should be in those positions. Rae says: “Even as an adult it is difficult to navigate the world. When I look back to being a little black girl growing up in the State of Utah, I could have definitely benefited from these types of resources at certain stages of my life.”
For whatever reason, some students don’t get mental health support at home. Whenever school shootings happen, there’s always a question of whether mental health issues were overlooked. Many of the devastating consequences brought on by lack of social resources in this way are preventable.
Standardized reporting and data collection
Rae is a self-proclaimed “numbers hater” but she understands their significance. Knowledge is power, and data collection can tell a story. Data collection is a critical missing factor in acts of violence in police departments. With sufficient data we can identify patterns that lead to policy development, create accountability, lead to improved resource allocation, and raise awareness. And transparency in data collection can build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
But the importance of data collection goes beyond law enforcement to other public sectors. Rae tells a story of a mother named Brittany. Her daughter was Izzy Tichenor. As one of the only black children in her school, Izzy suffered from serious bullying. Additionally, the family was facing racial discrimination and socioeconomic obstacles. As any mother would, Brittany worked to communicate with the school and the district, hoping that they would take corrective action. She tried her best to make sure Izzy had a safe educational environment, and the school substantially failed the Tichenor family when she committed suicide at the tender age of ten.
Sandra Hollins, member of Utah’s State House of Representatives representing District 21, is working with Brittany and she is pushing for data collection within the education system. We know for sure that bullying disproportionately affects black and brown children and children who speak English as a second language. We need all the data we can get, and we can use this data to discuss policy changes within schools and make corrective actions that will turn schools into dedicated safe spaces.
Transparency as a Standard
It is impossible to have public trust, community engagement, and accountability without government transparency. Information about policing strategies and policing policies needs to be public, the community should be engaged in the decision-making process, and feedback should be encouraged. Citizens need to know what ethical standards the officers that are responsible for their safety are held to and how misconduct is addressed when it occurs.
Abolish qualified immunity
For more information on qualified immunity please see my article earlier in this week. You can find it here.
The author reached out to Mayor Erin Mendenhall’s office for a comment on the destruction of the Fleet Block memorial murals. A representative of the office of the mayor, Andrew Wittenberg declined to comment and referred me to a website about the rezone of the fleet block. A website that ironically says, "It's your city, it's your business."
