TW Police Brutality

Today MPD woke up and chose to brutalize innocent people for defending the Near North houseless encampment in Minneapolis. Please boost and support them as much as you can, @NNmutualaid. More action items below. https://t.co/9HSNLpXCfZ

As the George Floyd trial continues, Minneapolis activists say an officer once again knelt on someone's neck today, after a brawl broke out when police tried to clear an encampment of unhoused people. The department banned that kind of maneuver last summer https://t.co/QwF7UZBV73

In this video, recorded by a #Yangon resident, police prevent anti-regime protesters from rescuing a young man who lay in Banya Dala Road after being shot by the police near Tamwe police station on Sunday afternoon. Officers beat and detained a woman who tried to rescue the man.

Dismantling racist, anti-Asian violence means standing up to white supremacy - the same ideology that asks us to empathize with those who commit racist violence rather than the families destroyed and communities targeted by it.

Korean media quotes the witnesses, English media quotes the killer, but really who’s to say which might be more reliable in a criminal matter.

More stuff (appears to be Abe Lincoln bust) leaving the West Wing this afternoon.

Now Dore is talking about my kids on his youtube show? One more good reason to keep kids away from youtube (at which I totally fail). Seriously though anybody who thinks this guy is the basis for a successful movement is fooling themselves

Robert Packer—who celebrated the mass murder of 1m people at Auschwitz—was released with no bond after violently storming the Capitol.

I've been under pre-trial house arrest for 17 months after winning a pollution case against Chevron.

Again: What are U.S. courts protecting?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I have one message to members of Congress who amplified lies to undermine our democracy, encouraged an attack on our Capitol, and tried to overturn our election:

Resign.

If your lust for power exceeds your dedication to democracy, there is simply no place for you in Congress.
