@SageOnX @milwaukeebeagle And yet we also have worse crime rates. So what was that you were saying about prisons reducing crime?

[Doug Singsen @DougSingsen]

@SageOnX @milwaukeebeagle Here's the US prison population compared to other NATO countries.

[Doug Singsen @DougSingsen]

@dougdrvr @milwaukeebeagle How about if we just had other options besides the police when there's an emergency? That way you don't have cops shooting unarmed people having mental health breakdowns because they know how to fire a gun but not how to deescalate a situation. Just a thought.

@IDoDeclare83 @milwaukeebeagle I'm also not in DSA, but this is just not true. Sorry, try again.

BREAKING: a truck full of "grave concerns" was intercepted at the Rafah crossing. Eye witnesses say the Egyptian officers stopped the truck when they noticed it stunk. Upon opening it, they found the grave concerns had expired months ago. Were these "grave concerns" yours @AlboMP or were they sent by your friend @JustinTrudeau? In either case, maybe next time, don't send the people of Gaza expired sentiments. They've been through enough already. #Gaza_Genocide

As a father of two daughters that are about Hind Rajab's age, her story hit me particularly hard.

I cannot begin to imagine the distress she went through in her last moments, highlighting the complete absence of humanity in what Israel inflicts on the Palestinians.

At 6 years old she managed to call an ambulance from a car that had been targeted by the IDF (you can see the car in the video 👇). She was wounded but had miraculously survived, surrounded by the dead bodies of her aunt, uncle and her 3 cousins. She stayed on the phone during three hours, telling health services she was "so scared" (you can hear a recording of the call in the video).

A Red Crescent ambulance was sent to get her. The ambulance was never heard from again.

10 days after Hind Rajab's car was found with 6 decomposing bodies inside, including hers. The ambulance that had been dispatched to fetch her was also found, utterly destroyed (you can see it in the video) with the bodies of 2 medics inside.

Immensely revolting.

To anyone who needs to hear this, #intifada does not mean #genocide. It means #uprising, uprising against an illegal, immoral, and deadly #occupation. And nobody should have to apologize for supporting that.

[Doug Singsen @DougSingsen]

This article does an excellent job of explaining how the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has reached the state it has and how the US’s decades-long support for Israel’s violent apartheid occupation has played a key role in getting us to this place. https://t.co/JbOTglxEqQ

@ColumbiaBugle @AyissiOttou @elonmusk Uh, settlers ARE immigrants. Obviously. They came here from somewhere else. That’s immigration.

via @NYTimes ⁦@elonmusk⁩ believes in free speech for everyone, including every racist, misogynist or transphobe with a current or former twitter account, but not for employees who criticize him. #libertarian #hypocrite #ego https://t.co/bRPAkip1nG

[Steven Greenhouse @greenhousenyt]

Elon Musk champions free speech, but not so much for his workers, especially ones who support a union

The NLRB found that Tesla unlawfully fired & disciplined workers for pro-union activity & unlawfully prohibited workers form speaking to the news media.

The manure sculpture -- a "scatue" -- is in response to Ron Johnson's false claim that climate change is "bullshit."

Activists plan to tour the poo statue around the city "to communicate with voters about Senator Johnson’s positions on environmental issues."

[Jennifer Bendery @jbendery]

Good morning. ☕️

Today in Milwaukee, climate change activists are unveiling a "Ron Johnson life-size manure sculpture."

Lots of teachers at @UWM are paid so little that they are experiencing food insecurity. What is administration going to do to address this?

We are doing our best to stay strong in the face of this anti-union campaign designed to exhaust, demean, isolate and divide pro-union workers.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

This is a new level of retaliation, and it is unacceptable. This is not how a pro-partner company treats its workers. We treat every corporate person who comes into our stores with respect, and we deserve the same.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Multiple union leaders have been given a “final warning” for minor disciplinary actions when they had no prior write-ups.
