Family pained by trial testimony that first aid could have prevented Sonya Massey's death in cop shooting A pathologist in Sean Grayson's murder trial said a bullet the ex-cop fired missed Massey's brain but struck her carotid artery — and she might have survived if someone had stopped her bleeding.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

why stop there? bulldozers, down the halls and hang a left just past the pool-less poolside (some roses might look nice there). little further, yes, the one with the cheap glitz. everything must go!
miley, nows your queue.

where is Emmanuel García? Bring this child home to Houston!

Emmanuel Garcia, the 15 year old autistic boy who went missing & landed in ICE custody, is still not home with his mother

He disappeared last week & Houston PD handed him over to ICE

A disabled child was given to ICE instead of attempting to contact his family

Eugenics & bigotry go hand in hand

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The truth about Israel as a euro-colonial entity is that they chose genocide and urbicide because they couldn’t conceive of living equally with Indigenous Palestinians that welcomed them as refugees.

So they dropped 9x more fire power on civilians than the American nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima

So, about that letter of support for Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes: 13 alderpeople didn’t sign it • The TRiiBE The letter describes what the agents did to Fuentes as an “abuse of power.” Mayor Brandon Johnson, City Clerk, Anna Valencia and City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin also signed it.

Chicago Ald. Gregory Mitchell oversees the 7th Ward, which is home to the South Shore apartment building at the center of last week’s ICE raid.

He didn’t sign the letter.

Mitchell has not yet publicly issued a statement on the raid.

Notice of Zoning Violation on official City of Portland letterhead

I dunno if I'm the last one to hear about this? But the reason the president is sending the *National Guard* to Portland is because the city mailed the government's landlord...a zoning violation notice?

They are sending in the troops to avoid "a monthly code enforcement fee"??

DHS shops local The federal government recently paid a company in Lake Forest $1 million for launchers to shoot pepper balls like those showering protesters.

new: in mid-september, dhs paid lake forest-based pepperball $1.1 million for “pressurized air launchers.”

the federal government has spent millions in recent years on launchers and chemical projectiles like the ones agents are now using to brutalize protesters.

@emanabdelhadi.bsky.social tells these cops about themselves.
