@palmsout @PopsicleDoodles @AliceAvizandum "Unprecedented in modern history."

Hey remember that time when a sea and air invasion of Iraq was carried out by the United States over a false pretext to establish a puppet government? Or when Israel occupied part of Syria and illegally annexed it with a thin facade?

@moirebender1 @PacificPlazaRec I need to start a new stockpile at the pad

NEW: Striking concrete workers in Seattle have shut down the city’s $23 billion construction industry.

The @teamsters are fighting for higher wages & better health benefits for retirees.

34 workers walked out in November. Now 300+ workers at 6 companies are on a general strike.

We will never understand why the local government in Los Angeles didn't fully take advantage of the unlimited funds from the federal government to provide hotel rooms to our unhoused neighbors the past 2 years. Like dang, we missed that opportunity big time.

The sheriff has encouraged deputies to get vaccinated but refused to enforce the mandate, saying they should have a choice.

54% of his employees are fully vaccinated, compared to 90% for almost every other department, according to the county.

[Sarah @hasrra18]

@KnockDotLA for example, 40% of the sheriffs department is unvaccinated - meanwhile that department is filing 75% of covid-related workers comp claims

[dielahn @about5dielahns]

That mask mandate never actually started let's be honest :^)

@stephensemler In early drafts of his 1961 speech, President Eisenhower referred to the “military industrial *congressional* complex” because the fraud of Pentagon spending requires complicit policymakers.

Biden deserves accountability, but ultimately shares the blame with Congress.

[Jack Herrera @jherrerx]

DHS and Border Patrol are working together to eventually deploy Ghost Robotic's "dogs" on the border, in particular desert terrain.

Terminator dogs will supposedly act as a "force multiplier" for CBP in patrols and interdiction.

remember quarantine when everyone was making bread and dancing and making art and taking care of plants and just learning new useful skills and we got a small glimpse into what life is supposed to be like

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

somewhat awkward timing for Shell to be announcing a quadrupling of annual earnings to $19bn

[Medic Kim @medickimw]

If you're looking at Minneapolis Twitter & need a reminder:
- No reforms were implemented after George Floyd's murder
- The police were never defunded
- No bodycam footage was released in Winston Smith case
- Roughly 200 MPD filed for disability bc they didn't want to change

[Film The Police LA @FilmThePoliceLA]

Both of these front desk LAPD cops make more in *benefits* than the median *household income* in Los Angeles.

Let that sink in. We pay them more in benefits, alone, than the median LA *household* makes in TOTAL PAY.

Come on, man. There’s something seriously fucking wrong here.
