At the time Vernon Dahmer died defending his family from a KKK attack #OTD 1966, four of his sons served in the military. This is what they returned to find of the family home. (Photo by Chris McNair, the father of Denise McNair, who was killed in the Birmingham church bombing)

Data analysis by @MarshallProj shows prison staffing at lowest level in decades. Interesting that 4 states currently spending billions to build new prisons (AL, GA, NE & IN) have some of the worst shortages.

Elon Musk stopped paying into Social Security 4 minutes into the year.

That’s how long it took him to make $168,600 and reach the wage cap on contributions.

Raise the cap and tax billionaires.

Vouchers so the rich kids can go to private schools and manual labor for the rest of us. The plan becomes clearer every day.

The Speaker is blocking THE PEOPLE from accessing half of the House gallery unless they are lobbyists or have a new “VIP ticket.”

Many people are waiting to come inside but were told it’s at capacity even though it’s clearly empty.

THIS IS NOT WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.

A 38-year-old man named Derrek Martin was beaten to death yesterday at Elmore Prison in Alabama. Mr. Martin is at least the 14th person murdered in an Alabama prison this year, and one of at least four people killed at Elmore Prison in 2023 alone. https://t.co/cXB96yXvIk

On this day in 1917, the U.S. Army executed 13 Black soldiers who were sentenced to death and denied any right to appeal for defending themselves after a white mob attacked them. https://t.co/Sw4ttYFx2B

Two major hospital systems are refusing to sell their debt to @RIPMedicalDebt, a nonprofit that buys medical debt and forgives it.

2 out of 3 bankruptcies involve medical debt, but North Carolina's Atrium and Novant Health won't help ease the burden.

A Missouri judge ruled that staff in the state attorney general’s office — while it was being run by Republican Josh Hawley — used private email accounts to “knowingly and purposefully” subvert the state’s open records law.

So, the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce is fighting a minimum raise increase. That $7.25 hasn't changed in 15 years. But, they want taxpayers to spend $1 billion for a new stadium for the Thunder and eight families to profit.

🧵 UPDATE — after Brian’s thread and public outrage over @Cigna backing out of covering a NASHVILLE lung cancer patient’s @VUMChealth procedure they have reversed course… but it still highlights the depravity of our cruel, broken health care system. #MedicareForAll
