Unpopular post...Only in America could anyone think that a prison sentence for more than twenty years is not harsh enough. If you know anything about prison, its utterly life destroying. I hope that we can move beyond the relentless desire for punishment. We need so much more.
@SeanCarleton @Iambutoneofmany I saw this response yesterday & continue to ponder. How can we continue to call them schools knowing that the intention was to destroy? Isn't language here critical in challenging false narratives? Yes, they called them schools then, but do Indigenous people see them as such?
This is Toronto’s housing crisis response. Use paramilitary tax payer funded police to the tune of over a billion dollars a year instead of put its residents in affordable livable permanent housing with dignity. @ESN_TO #topoli#onpoli#DefundThePolice
After a month of working in stifling heat due to a broken A/C, a dozen servers & kitchen workers at a Houston Hooters staged a walkout. “It’s important because we are women,” one said. “We serve people. We need to be treated like we’re more than servers.” https://t.co/EU2QBmsOsK
It's arrived. I've been tracking this in US, Ireland + UK. Investors are (again) snatching up single-family homes + converting to $$ rental accommodation. It's the Blackstone model post '08. Govt must step-in. @TOAdamVaughan@HonAhmedHussen@RomyBowers

Scoop: Amazon's routing algorithm for its 85,000 delivery drivers pushes them to walk, run & sprint across 50 mph highways & busy commercial streets on foot, as a cost-saving measure. It is very dangerous.
I dug into how this algorithm works:

#MakiyahBryant - a 15 year old black girl in Columbus Ohio was shot after calling the police for help. Just minutes after the #DerekChauvinTrial - Tell me again how this can be "reformed"?

@ColinDMello@rawanbaki Imagine refusing to provide all the benefits that they themselves have. Make it make sense!! What is wrong with these politicians?
I have been contacted by 6 people today who have already been detained and questioned by the police for doing such reckless things as walking (for some fresh air) or playing with their child. I am here for you and will help protect your rights. DM me for free legal advice.
Carding? As a response to the pandemic? Watch how white supremacy works to pathologize and keep in check the very communities it needs to build its wealth. So tired. #onpoli
