BREAKING NEWS: We’re leading a lawsuit to protect the consumer protection bureau that provided $700k+ in relief to Oregonians last year.

The Trump administration wants to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – but that would harm working families in Oregon & beyond. #orpol #breakingnews

The Oath Keepers built a massive stockpile of guns for Jan 6th and kept them in a hotel in Virginia because of D.C.'s strict gun laws.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is suing D.C. over its ban on semi-automatic (AR-15) weapons.

This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

Alt text is incredibly useful for sighted folks too.

* It helps me understand the reference if I don't recognize the image you're posting
* It makes the image searchable
* It gives you many more characters in which to express your rapier wit

Use alt text!
Dammit people, add alt text to your images! So many times I see awesome art or cool comics, but can't repost it, because it's not accessible.

Just in: Florida's supreme court today has UPHELD a recent state law that enables juries to sentence someone to death nonunanimously.

Bolts reported on FL's law a few years ago, amid huge concern that nonunanimous convictions have a high error rate, & are likelier to sideline Black jurors.
