.@GovEvers tells @AP he won't appoint district attorneys who would enforce abortion ban and he would use clemency powers to vacate prison sentences of anyone convicted under the law

Evers also says he hopes @WisDOJ files a lawsuit to at least put the ban on hold

Early reports state that Daunte Wright, MN motorist killed by police, was pulled over for his dangling air freshener. I've been covering this odd genre of traffic stop, which has exploded in prevalence & is derided as a pretext stop, for years: https://t.co/uUny3O0O3s

Racism is a real and visible and present-day system. It is not past history, theory, abstract, a subject to move on from.

@NPR Helpful context here would be the percentage of nonprofits “serving” communities of color, that are run by white people. For these officials, this would have literally LOOKED like business-as-usual.

@_RealShante @NPR And that thing where every white kid with a degree thinks they should just start a nonprofit to go help someone, rather than maybe go do data entry for whoever is already doing work in that community.

Instacart workers are on the front lines of the pandemic. It’s clear they need a union and Instacart’s actions are outrageous and illegal.

I’m eager to take on bad actors like Instacart and Uber in Congress & with a reinvigorated @NLRB.

@MadDanWrites Bearing witness. Silently. Whew, it’s a change.

people don't like the idea of servers, janitors, etc. making higher than a certain amount because then they wouldn't feel superior to them

Incredible thread, from Nov. 2020:

Before y'all go running with the narrative that John Sullivan belongs to the Left, he doesn't.

He was ID'd as an infiltrator and an opportunist way back then.

He only believes in CHAOS.

NPR EXCLUSIVE: FBI & DHS did *NOT* do a formal threat assessment before the US Capitol riot. They did one ahead of Portland protests after George Floyd murder & before BLM protests in June. Despite red flags on social media - they did no assessment before Trump rally.@NPRDina

@koury_jerry @mehdirhasan Sadly, it is, isn’t it?
