Public library budgets are being slashed. Police have more cash than ever. https://t.co/fjEVqWus2L

The police officers who kidnapped and murdered Tyre Nichols were part of a special police unit purportedly designed to 'prevent crime,' inside of the Memphis Police Dept, which receives $275 million every year and sucks up 38% of the city's entire budget. #DefundThePolice

After seeing body cams record 100 murders you might think that body cams don’t stop policing from murdering.

after seeing some of the replies to this i get why we are never getting socialized medicine

This is such a depressing reminder of how easy it would be to fix major issues in peoples lives if we just had universal healthcare

tldr of today's press conference:

Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens and Dekalb County CEO Michael Thurmond said "BUILD COP CITY!"

Hostile reminder that when JK Rowling is done with trans people she will move on to promoting conversion therapy and trying to squash all other LGBTQIA+ identities, as she has in the past

The 911 caller remained on the line and can be heard shouting “Please don’t shoot. Don’t shoot him! Don’t shoot him!” as more than ten gun shots ring out in the background. #abolishpolice https://t.co/2z2Mt0Z4E2

If you’re a progressive and you’re no longer masking actually you’re not.

Matt I promise we can build cool infrastructure without wantonly executing people

We can't talk about #MontereyPark without talking about Domestic Violence in the AAPI community. The subject is still taboo but we must uplift AAPI survivors. According to @apigbv 55% Asian women in the U.S. report intimate and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. 🧵🪡

Honestly, the fact that I say things like “wear your clothes as long as possible, wash them properly, don’t overuse laundry detergent, don’t use dryer sheets, don’t do hauls,” and ppl will still scream shows the real issue - for a lot of folks - is not wanting to change ANYTHING.

historians are claiming that the killing of Manuel Esteban Paez Terán by a Georgia state trooper is the first time a forest protector has been shot & killed by police in the US

This is a HUGE deal, but it is crickets from most environmental organizations in this country. why?

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

By now I hope we’ve all noticed how often ordinary people stop these shootings, while police so often do nothing.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

The thing is this has been studied over and over and over again and despite what the NYPost has told you fare evasion enforcement is driven by poverty, fairly overt racism and—to a great extent—tracks with gentrification. See recent research here -> https://t.co/koFAjYFeeX

[Tracking Biden From The Left @BidenTracking]

It is day 735 of the Biden presidency. The Biden Administration is refusing to help protect critically endangered North Atlantic right whales from being struck and killed by vessels, despite requests from activists.

We are all closer to being unhoused than being a billionaire. Understand that.
