I can’t argue with this

The life and legacy of Pittsburgh activist Vincent Scotti Eirene Eirene was inspired by the Catholic Worker movement, which focuses on aiding the poor and homeless, and on opposing violence and injustice in all their forms.

Great piece by @cpotterpgh.bsky.social of @wesa.fm about a great activist, writer, justice provocateur Vincent Eirene and friend. Gonna miss you man. Go give G-d some of your good trouble. I hope to meet you someday at that big rally in the sky. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

EXCLUSIVE: Hundreds of Jewish Health Professionals Say 'End the Genocide' in Gaza "To be silent is to be complicit," the healthcare workers write in an open letter.

News: Hundreds of Jewish healthcare workers from around the US and beyond are circulating a letter demanding an “end to the genocide in Gaza.”

They “reject the weaponization of accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel and expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.”

"Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

I’m in a band. It’s called Qlitterati. Here’s a little pre rehearsal improvisational rage musings in preparation for our upcoming concert at The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls w/ Squidling Brothers Circus Sideshow, Tommy Amoeba Bday Bash! W/ Qlitterati, Amoeba Knievel, Slippy the Klown & More! June 22!

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

In the end, this is messaging that the system is still machine powered, rather than people powered. All those yard signs in the 14th ward talking about how "everyone is welcome here" and all the "most livable city" propaganda we get force fed don't really mean much after all.

Fomented by media people like Marty Griffin and conservative KDKA radio hosts, and the striking Post-Gazette who hates its own workers so much that it has been running on scab labor for nearly 3 years.

Thinking a lot about Pittsburgh and how, in an era when people are watching the GOP/Pete Kegbreath fire all the Black and women high-ranking commanders of our military, because they believe only white people can have power and leadership roles, our local old guard Dem party has purged Ed Gainey.

I am so angry that 15 years ago, democrats passed the affordable care act to expand healthcare access to MILLIONS of Americans, and republicans woke up EVERY DAY FOR 15 YEARS to try and take that away from you.

If you have a Republican member of congress you need to hold them accountable!

This is terrifying.

This is infuriating. Ed wasn’t in office what a week? Before the bridge fell??? The outright lies of the O’Connor campaign are insulting to our intelligence.

The opponent to the incumbent Pgh mayor has done nothing but lie while being backed by right-wing money.
They sent out a mailer with the house on the left, blaming the mayor who has served one term for the city's blight. The pic on the right is how the house actually looks today.
