Toll there, particularly during the devastating second wave. officially, the country has recorded more than 370,000 deaths, the third highest in the world. but there is more and more evidence to suggest that the number is massively lower than the real number. this is something we have seen in india since the start of the pandemic, the underreporting of deaths in this country. we first heard it in testimony from doctors under the front line workers, and we have seen evidence of it on the ground when we were reporting during the second wave of the pandemic. but the second wave of the pandemic. but the reports that have appeared by a data journalist over the past few days really gives us a sense of how acute the scale of underreporting could be. she looked up to markovic states in india, and she has looked up states in india, and she has looked up excess deaths in the states. when we say excess deaths, what she means is the overall deaths that took

Federal Militarization of Law Enforcement Must End The federal government arms local police forces in the United States with weapons of war. A program called “1033,” for the section of the act that created it, allows the Department of Defense to give state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies military hardware. Since its inception in 1996, nearly 10,000 jurisdictions have received more than $7 billion of equipment. This includes combat vehicles, rifles, military helmets, and misleadingly named “non-” or less-lethal weapons, some of which have featured in police raids and police violence against protesters, including recent protests for racial justice. The ACLU helped place police militarization in the broader landscape of police violence with our 2014 groundbreaking report, “War Comes Home.” That report released just months before police killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri highlighted the ways that militarized police act aggressively and violently, target Black and Brown communities, and kill Americans at an alarming tempo. Our report proposed ways to address the militarization of police and recommended that the federal government limit the type of military equipment granted to law enforcement agencies, make data about the program publicly available, and significantly increase oversight over the 1033 program.

Donald trump s 39%. he is losing to elizabeth warren 46% to 39%. he is trailing kamala harris, 45% to 39%. his approval ratings continue to be pretty terrible. nationwide, fox found that 56% of registered voters disapprove of trump s job performance and things are not looking better for him in key states. polling this week found trump with a net negative approval rating in states like arizona, michigan, north carolina, pennsylvania and wisconsin, all states that he won in 2016. republicans are trying to put the best possible face on the disastrous poll numbers after a conservative think tank released a poll showing that trump barely leads the democratic contenders in north carolina. republican national committee chair mcdaniel posted a celebratory tweet crowing, trump is, quote, beating every leading 2020 democrat. that prompted a data journalist for the economist to respond with this. a poll from right-leaning think
