I cannot stress this enough. We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility. If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

Sketchy as fuck.
It’s super bad to suggest someone is in hell, right, Republicans?

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.
In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, Trump “is immediately casting blame on his political opponents, demonizing and turning the heat up," says @markfollman.bsky.social. “And that is a recipe for more violence. The very top of our political leadership is stoking a political and cultural war."
The data center industry already accounts for more than 4% of total U.S. electricity consumption, and energy usage by data centers is expected to triple by 2028.

Don’t have to be first and right anymore, just first.
The South has quickly emerged as a battleground between big tech and working people. Companies are pouring billions into data centers, but Southerners are fighting to block them. The outcomes could greatly affect residents’ economic security and the region’s water supply. Thread.

When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better. That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
Hot topics during the session included Medicaid cuts, Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and complaints about the priorities of the Republican Party. (@comissourian.bsky.social)
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Reveal reporter Shoshana Walter joins Al Letson to talk about what she describes as the “other drug crisis” in America today: the profit-driven drug rehab industry that too often fails its patients.
Militarizing our cities is not the way that we create safety. We create safety by funding SNAP and Head Start, and building opportunities and mechanisms for success -- not pouring funds into militarizing the National Guard on our streets.
If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.
For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

After hearing reports a Michigan city cited a pregnant homeless woman for sleeping in a park after dark, I started to poke around. What I found were homeless folks and community activists saying crackdowns are making their lives, and jobs, harder. For @bridgemi.com: bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...

Some folks haven’t spent decades fighting a GOP-dominated government and it shows… The GOP always lies. They are corrupted by big donors. They cover up both lies and corruption. They never admit to any wrongdoing. They project their illegal activity on to the other side. Rinse. Repeat.

Zia, an Afghan interpreter who risked his life to help U.S. troops, is being detained by ICE in Massachusetts. He's been living in the U.S. LEGALLY for fear of retribution if he returns to Afghanistan. Targeting Zia and other Afghan allies is dangerous and wrong.
