In 2002 @usda reported,"Of all private U.S. agricultural land,Whites account for 96 percent of the owners,97 percent of the value . . . ."
Blacks, American Indians, Asians, and Hispanics combined accounted for 4.3% owners,3.6% value. #rural #landownership https://t.co/r6RdiZILSi

Julianna Gehant should be 51 today.
She was shot and killed at 32 on the campus of Northern Illinois University in 2008.

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence.

In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

In a disastrous ruling, the Court of Appeal in London has overruled the High Court and upheld the government's decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Defining a protest group as terrorists has created an absurd situation where thousands of people have been arrested for holding up signs.

"Had war not broken out in 1914, there can be little doubt that suffragette violence against individuals would have intensified still further." https://t.co/GNLNKIww8V

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."

The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.

Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.

The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

Oregonians deserve a health care system that shows up for them when they need help. That's why we’re changing the treatment landscape. More than 1,000 beds are open today that weren't available when I took office, with more on the way, and we’re building the workforce to staff them.
