Cop “unions” are a repulsive stain on the American labor movement, and it’s truly an embarrassment that so few labor leaders are willing to admit that. www.teenvogue.com/story/what-t...

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

the demons who scream about poor people “abusing” benefits should have to complete the entire process at least once before they start honking about how “easy” it is to scam, like the Byzantines could never

I was surprised to see so few references to Heather Heyer as I doomscrolled yesterday; she was the first person I thought of once I saw the footage of the car and the protestors and the armed goons, and will be back in my nightmares like usual tonight.
Today @kimkelly.bsky.social writes about the parallels between the killings of Renee Nicole Gold and Heather Heyer in Charlottesville in 2017.

Years ago, an organizing crew I was part of worked to help an unhoused woman in our neighborhood get services. She was dying and qualified for a number of programs. It took a team of seven working for almost two months to secure her a warm bed to die in. Her name was Jennifer.
I know this isn’t new information but I just really gotta emphasize how goddamn difficult it is to successfully sign up for SNAP or Medicaid, even if you’re Good At Paperwork

Folks immediately jump to prosecution without demanding firing. Meanwhile this regime is going to play games for years and not prosecute. In the meantime this person will still be getting a government paycheck.

Y'all could impeach her but I notice that this is not what's on offer.
Kristi Noem must resign today.
Her time as Secretary has been a complete moral failure and a public safety disaster. ICE under her leadership has repeatedly ignored our laws, terrorized communities, and made America less safe.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

One thing today has shown is that ordinary people who are politically active protesting their Govt, they are far braver than any of the career politicians running the Govt.
And frankly without such brave people, we would not even have the limited rights that we do have.

I think my least favorite quality in a person, one that is so often praised as an asset or virtue, is: "doesn't take no for an answer." We're living through an extended nightmare of what that looks like when brought to its logical conclusion.

Whenever I correctly point out that there is no opposition party in US politics, the usual suspects swarm to screech about Dems having no power. If these folks are correct (they are not), then they should BUILD POWER. They aren't doing that.
