Idk anything about Jonathan Majors’ character, but what I know for absolutely certain is that any celebrity who appears in an Army recruitment commercial in the big big year of forever wars 2023 is a walking talking red flag.

[East Phillips Urban Farm @epni_urbanfarm]

Mayor Frey showed up to the MMIWR rally today. Little Earth resident and grandma Nicole Perez demanded action against the February 27th Roof Depot warehouse demolition, and the additional pollution that the city has planned for East Phillips, and Frey fled #urbanfarmnottoxicharm

On the right, Mike Lee says he wants to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Since the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols on January 7th, police have killed at least 51 people across the US.

COPS. LIE.

I hope every single reporter and journalist stops and reads this. THIS was their initial statement.

You cannot take cops at their word. Period.

BREAKING NEWS: After 15 hours of debate, the Minnesota Senate has passed the PRO Act, enshrining the right to abortion into state law. Next it heads to @GovTimWalz who said he will sign it. Minnesota is the first state to enact such legislation post-Roe. @MPRnews

[Wesley @WesleyLowery]

How many police press releases will be written up as fact -no caveats and no scrutiny - by journalists across the country tonight? tomorrow? next week?

This is increíble. To fight the retirement age being raised from 62 to 64, France’s most militant labor union is cutting electricity to politicians and the wealthy while giving discounts to the public.

[D.A. Bullock @BullyCreative]

Y’all should definitely ask every politician why the continue to fund this. That’s your job, not reflecting our pain back to us, that’s worthless

[India Thusi @inGerri]

I can’t understand how anyone can think that abolition is the naïve position. Is it not naïve to think you can reform institution that is inherently oppressive and violent? When does police reform become futile for reformers?

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

UPDATE: Union Pacific, one of the railroads that successfully fought off workers' demands for paid sick days, announced a record $7 billion profit. The company said it spent $1.7 billion more on stock buybacks in 2022 than on pay and benefits for all of its employees.

"But how will I explain drag to my children??"

Your children practice hiding from an active shooter at school on a monthly basis. They can handle learning that adults play dress up.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

You defended qualified immunity, aka cops being immune from being sued for their actions, literally this week.

[Tiffany Cabán @tiffany_caban]

Diversity won’t save us. Body cameras won’t save us. Dressings on an irredeemable, barbaric system hell bent on the violent maintenance of order, control and domination masquerading as the only possible stewards of safety. One of the greatest lies ever told.

Defund and abolish.

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

the statements police make, the evidence they offer up - it’s a curated display, carefully crafted by cops & lawyers & crisis PR teams. this kind of footage exists in other cases, i’d bet my life on it. but they wanted us to see this and notice how uniquely awful these cops were.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

People noticing how quickly these black cops were charged (as opposed to their murderous white fellows in other situations) should also pay attention to how *silent* the police union has been on there behalf.

[Sam Richards @MinneapoliSam]

George Floyd died of a "medical incident" according to former Minneapolis PD spox John Elder.

Tyre Nichols complained of "shortness of breath" according to Memphis PD

Police lie to defend heinous and illegal acts without batting and eye.
