Burlington police use-of-force reaches record high in 2025 - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a call for police to help discipline a child over stealing escalated into a hospital visit, Burlington mother Cathy Austrian filed a complaint with the city’s police oversight body hoping to spur change. The body, the Police Commission, found the incident — in which officers restrained Austrian’s son, who is Black and has emotional and intellectual disabilities, and called in paramedics to inject him with ketamine — to be a troubling violation of the department’s own use-of-force policy.

When Kathy Callaghan called her local pharmacy for a prescription refill last Wednesday, she expected to hear the usual AI voice that had attempted to assist her for the last three months. “We were thrilled,” she said, describing her and her partner Dave Bellini’s reaction to the voice.

Read excerpt
The Ben & Jerry’s Foundation says it will shut down at the end of the year after its corporate parent cut off funding and evicted its three staffers Wednesday. The move leaves $600,000 a year in grants to Vermont organizations, and 40 years of the ice cream brand’s progressive mission, hanging on a judge’s future ruling. “This is the other foot dropping in terms of the way Magnum is trying to destroy the social values of Ben & Jerry’s,” said Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, in an
