very difficult to stomach the 24 hour live coverage of a tourist submarine visiting the graves of those lost on the titanic when just a few days ago more than 500 people sank in actual titanic-like catastrophe in the mediterranean and I saw that on the news exactly twice.
Time to see who all showed up at the Glendale School Board meeting:
First up is former Caruso campaign volunteer and general violent pest, Paul Onaga. Below he attacked a Burbank city worker by ripping off their mask.
This story is fucked up…
Local anti-extremism researcher Chad Loder and a group of friends went to Discount Gun Mart firing range in San Diego. A range employee leaked Chad’s info to local white supremacists.
Please be hyper-vigilant. Read more here: https://t.co/f06E4pKjFo
The typical fascists have shown up in Glendale. It’s literally the same people every time. These are not “parents.”
This is capitol insurrectionist Adam Kiefer and serial harasser Tony Moon.
If you write anything about today’s protest at a grade school in North Hollywood know that this has zero to do with parents rights and everything to do with bigotry and fascism. Your reporting should focus on that and not both sides it like neutral cowards.
Today, two Democrats voted with Republicans to say that not only should student debt relief be repealed, not only should the pause on payments end, but that you should make *retroactive* payments from previous months.
Introducing Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez:
🧵NPR has come out with an article debunking the claims of police across the country overdosing on fentanyl.
I decided to put together a thread of their greatest hits.
It has officially begun. Trans adults are being pulled from gender affirming care in Missouri. There will be mass medical detransitioning if this rule takes effect.
We have arrived at the point I’ve been terrified of for the last 3 years.
Take steps to protect your care now.
ITS NOT A BAN ON TIKTOK! ITS CALLED THE RESTRICT ACT BECAUSE ITS GOING TO DO JUST THAT! THEY CAN ACCESS ANYTHING WITHIN YOUR HOME THAT IS CONNECTED TO INTERNET WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. THEY CAN FINE AND CHARGE YOU FOR USING VPNS. THEY ARE TARGETING YOU!! NOT BIG TECH!
We did something similar the summer of 2020. Y’all called us savages and kettled us. Kyle Rittenhouse, a minor, was driven across state lines by his mother with an illegally owned firearm, killed 2 protestors, ran to the police for protection, got off, and is touring now.
Over the past 5 years, only 3 of the estimated 2,840 mass shooters were trans. Trans people are 1-2% of the general population but only 0.04% of mass shooters (98% are cis men). I realize the right doesn’t care about statistics but at least we can show how ridiculous they sound.
When Lakeith Smith was 15, he burglarized a home with two other teens. A cop arrived and killed one of them. Under our felony murder laws, Lakeith was charged with both the burglary AND the murder and given 55 years.
We’re the only country in the world that does this.
On this day in 1955, Claudette Colvin,15, was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white woman on a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
She was arrested 9months before Rosa Parks, but NAACP didn't want her to represent their organization because she was 15 and pregnant.
I believe I have reason to fear for my own life and the lives of my children. This series of tweets is meant to summarize the events which have occurred over the past year, leading up to the call I received last night, warning me to be careful, and why.
