People in palestine are bracing for greater crackdown as Israel punishes them for statehood recognition by UK, Canada, & Australia.

As I, and many others, have pointed out - these proclamations of recognition do nothing to stop the violence.

Everyone in power is like ‘oppressors deserve grace and the powerless deserve prison’ it’s super fucking neat

You look at every culture that's ever existed and the running theme is everyone pretty much just wants to play/dance to music, make art, eat stewed meat wrapped in flat bread, and tell stories about the shapes we find in the stars. Somehow we turned that into wars and overtime and profit margins.

Trying to connect with your unhoused neighbors? Here’s supplies we’ve found are always welcome & needed:

- socks
- bug spray in summer
- hand warmers in winter
- batteries (AA & AAA always, D or C for fans & radios)
- water

Pack em in a ziploc, bring a $5 & go meet your neighbors that live outside

If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger

A statement from Post Guild leadership: The Washington Post Guild condemns the unjust firing of columnist Karen Attiah The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech. The right to speak freely is the ultimate personal liberty and the foundation of Karen’s 11-year career at The Post. We’re proud to call Karen a colleague and a longtime union sibling. The Post Guild stands with her and will continue to support her and defend her rights.

The fascism is really fascisming.

Nothing about us without us.

We're at today's House Oversight Committee hearing about DC to make it clear DC communities don't want Congress's interference in our judges, prosecutions, sentencing, or police.

They can't talk about our communities without expecting to hear from our communities.

A Black woman with braids pulled back into a ponytail faces a large crowd at 14th & U St. NW and raises her arms in joy. A gogo band plays behind her and in the intersection a huge crowd listens. The sun sets on buildings across the streets.

A Black boy with short purple twists runs through bubbles. His shirt reads "Nobody's free until everybody's free. Free DC." He looks back at other children behind him who run through the bubbles in a wide open field.

A woman sits on the grass of a wide open field as a child hugs her from behind. She closes her eyes and tilts her head gently. Bubbles drift in the air. A child's arm and leg run across the foreground.

A Black woman with an Afro, oversized sunglasses, and a bright orange dresses smiles and points at the camera. Behind her, people sit and listen to music in an open airy space.

Today House Republicans are going to lie, distort reality, insult our communities, and attempt to dehumanize the people of DC— especially our Black and Brown youth.

We are ten toes down for DC. Anyone who tries to say we deserve less doesn't know us.

UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE THE VICTIMS OF CRIME THAN THE PERPETRATORS

People are so bothered by someone drinking a beer in a park or trying to sleep on a sidewalk they froth at the mouth screaming about how they are a danger to society.

And this is what fucking happens.

Yet again reminding everyone that the feds did not “back off” of Chicago

Fun fact:

If you threaten to declare an emergency because someone isn't doing what you want, that's not an emergency. It's just a tantrum.

Washington DC’s Mayor Muriel Bowser

He's angry at the people who he claims "promote violence" but not the people who committed the actual violence. Dude, fuck off.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

The only difference between people using drugs outside because they don’t have homes & people using drugs inside because they have homes… is the homes.

Everyone uses drugs y’all, the difference is money.

ICE murdered someone in Chicago yesterday. It seems the news cycle has moved on from the federal takeover stuff, but it’s very much still happening & escalating.
