More on the Taser Front: RawStory recently posted footage from a Nov. 26 recap of Taser-related deaths/interview with Amnesty International Executive Director Larry Cox. Cox repeatedly condemns the use of Tasers as a form of torture. As regular readers already know, this is an issue we've been covering since Nov. 2006, kicking off with Silja J.A. Talvi's Stunning Revelations.
The clip provides a surprisingly thorough summary of the issue, but be warned: it's not for the faint of heart.

In this new book, longtime organizers and movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes examine the political lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath, including the convergence of mass protest and mass formations of mutual aid. Let This Radicalize You answers the urgent question: What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing?
