Are you F-ing KIDDING ME?! @Donlemonbsky has been arrested by the DOJ?! Exercising your first amendment constitutionally “protected” right gets you locked up, exercising your 2nd gets you killed, and actual murder… well in uniform, gets you nothing!

This IS NOT NORMAL nor OK!

We need to get tactical. If OpenAI’s revenue falls by 2%, it will make a difference.

The best way to ignite positive change is to carry out an economic strike the tech CEOs can’t ignore.

Democracies are so strong that they allow people to criticize democracy. In fact, the ability to do so is an essential quality of democracy. Authoritarians are so weak they don't allow people to criticize authoritarians. Silencing dissent is an essential quality of authoritarian regimes.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

NEW: Recently published court records reveal that Sig Sauer has known since at least 2017 that P320 pistols could fire without an intentional trigger pull, and had the potential to “kill [a] person.”

Despite this, Sig Sauer continues to deny the P320 is dangerous.
Court Records Reveal Sig Sauer Knew of Pistol Risks for Years
According to a court exhibit, Sig Sauer identified several deadly risks with its P320 pistols as early as 2017.

By smashing renewables, the House’s budget bill would result in far less electricity just at the time we need a lot more —making it more scarce and far more expensive.

The Senate needs to take us off the ledge the House put us on.

LNG terminals don't make electricity. They consume (a LOT of), electricity. LNG terminals exist to ship gas somewhere else. Don't pretend that LNG will replace renewables on our grid. What a con.

“The fastest thing we can get online for more electricity generation is LNG power plants.”

There’s no such thing as an LNG power plant. Liquifying gas consumes electricity.
