As a former bartender when they start making you measure out the booze it means you work for private equity now

This intentional and insidious delay is an unacceptable perversion of the justice system. It’s absolutely imperative that justice is served in full - for the victims, for their families and loved ones, and for the stable future of our country

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

The complete Epstein files are now 143 days overdue.

But somehow the algorithm wants America focused on Elon Musk’s child’s mother instead of the names, networks, and evidence tied to the largest scandal and systemic abuses of power in modern history.

We know the files are full of horrors and human suffering. Imagine how much worse the material is in the files the DOJ is still withholding from the public.

Release the complete Epstein files.

I got my hands on 65 hours worth of live broadcast news coverage and special reports on the MOVE bombing which occurred 41 years ago today. I produced this piece using that archival footage.

On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped a C4 explosive on the home of the @themoveorganization family at 62nd and Osage Avenue, after 500 police fired over 10,000 rounds into the home. City officials allowed the fire to burn, killing 11 people including five children, and destroying 61 homes.

Eyewitness and forensic evidence indicates that several MOVE children attempted to flee the burning home through the rear but were either shot back inside or their bullet-ridden bodies were thrown back into fire by police waiting in the alleyway.

In 2021, it was revealed UPenn and Princeton had stolen the remains of several of the children and not only conducted experiments on them but also wheeled them out on gurneys at fundraising events.

John Africa's head has never been returned and saw marks on his neck indicate foul play during an unauthorized autopsy.

No one has ever been held accountable for any of it.

In 2023, @mikeafricajr bought the house back which was originally owned by his aunt Louise James, but was seized by the City through eminent domain after the bombing and turned into a police substation. He is barred from turning the home into a memorial until he pays off the $400K mortgage, support link below.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket.

The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

[Rob - Minus Delta Vee @RobMusicADD]

A matter of months… good things can be done if we put the right people in the right offices. It’s time for a LOT more of THIS:

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.

Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.

We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.

We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.

Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.

That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

The largest attack on black voting rights since the 1960s is unfolding in front of our eyes

Ahh my favorite part of democracy, the majority voting for something and it still not being implemented

[Fairy Gothmother, MD @jenny2x4]

I already thought Elon’s mom constantly defending him on twitter was embarrassing. I didn’t even consider that Elon was the one tweeting as his own mom and defending himself, which is maybe the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen

[Amber Woods @AmberWoods100]

It’s not that people don’t see what’s happening.
It’s that there are no consequences for the people doing it.

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

"We can't take care of sick people or kids because we'd rather use the money on war" is a hell of a midterms pitch

I hate to contradict Third Way but I’m gonna go out on a crazy limb and say it’d probably be more electorally valuable for every Dem to spend the next two weeks hammering this line rather than debating what we all think about Hasan Piker.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Stephen Miller praised Trump for several minutes. Then Trump turned to Kash Patel and said, “Kash, see if you can top that.”

Patel: “Mr. President, thank you for delivering the safest country on God’s green Earth.”
