mutual aid organizers getting RICO indictments? the state is so, so, so scared of us.

Healthcare workers in LA protested today for a better contract. So naturally on Labor Day cops had to make it clear that they are not workers. You won’t believe how many LAPD cops they sent at these few workers.

The Cop City RICO indictments allege the date when George Floyd was murdered by the police as the start of the "racketeering enterprise." Let that sink in.

The day a movement to abolish the police took on new life is the day for them a criminal enterprise was born.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

So it’s clear: in his press conference about RICO charges against Stop Cop City organizers, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr explicitly named that Cop City is needed because of the uprisings in 2020. This will be replicated in cities across the country — it already is!

Nevada rangers drove directly into a blockade set up by climate protestors on the road to Burning Man. An officer pulled a gun out, tackling a protestor and threatening to shoot

Environmental activists were demanding that #BurningMan ban private jets + single-use plastics

Exactly. This.

"A top chief who was in charge of the NYPD’s risk management bureau — and who expressed concern about the department’s massive surge in vehicle pursuits — was ousted last week by the newly appointed police commissioner."

This is what a crumbling democracy looks like. I hope this newspaper sues this police department and the judge who signed this warrant gets disbarred.

[Elizabeth Glazer @LizGlazerNYC]

It’s been quite the day for the forces in the battle for and against democracy in NYC.

No clean water in a city that spends 28% of it’s budget on police.

@blakbleach Saying there is nothing anti semetic in his verse shows that YOU dont understand or respect Jewish culture.

Big new detail here confirming what we already knew: Trump and his inner circle had plans to incite “riots in every major city” in order to lay the groundwork to invoke the insurrection act and institute a militarized crackdown. These plans involved extremist groups, as well.

Definetely support @issarae in Barbie Movie this weekend as well as Oppenheimer but please don't forget to also check out #TheyClonedTyrone on @Netflix. Was lucky enough to hear this pitch before it became a movie back when I was working at Monkeypaw and I knew it was going to be big. Juel Taylor is one of the most exciting young writer/directors working today and I loved that he linked up with @staymacro @IAmCharlesDKing @HanksPoppy @IAMJamesFLopez Stephen Love @datariturner and the rest of the great producing team that helped make this movie a reality. Also huge shout out to @johnboyega @iamjamiefoxx & @TeyonahParris for bringing it like they always do. Yo can't complain about reboots, sequels and remakes and not support this amazingly fresh original idea. @strongblacklead

@michaelharriot Amazing thread.
