The Jeffrey Epstein cover-up is an affront to US democracy | Rebecca Solnit Democracy means a society and system in which everyone’s rights matter. Rapists count on this being untrue – and Trump is proving them right

The new batch of Epstein files make me retch. They reveal the rot of abuse & corruption at the highest levels of government, finance & tech.
As Rebecca Solnit observes, it feels like: “rapists all the way down, and enablers all the way up.”

After 19 months of bargaining, we have not reached an agreement with OPB that includes livable wages and sufficient yearly guaranteed increases for the people who create the content you love.

The Senate Vote That Could Change Public Lands Forever This week Republicans are pushing a legal maneuver that would undo a century of public land protections — starting with America’s most beloved wilderness.

Amidst all the atrocities taking place in the U.S., please don't forget the imminent threat of being robbed of our public lands. Once this happens, to paraphrase Heather Cox Richardson, we will never get them back. (Sample letter to U.S. senators included in article.)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) talks with reporters outside the U.S. Capitol

AOC on Trump’s oil embargo of Cuba: “What has transpired is that now it’s kind of become acceptable that the entire Western world will look the other way as they starve & deprive a people because they find political actors or political regimes in that country to be objectionable”

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

Right-wing media figures are furious at activists for using whistles during ICE activity Right-wing media figures are lashing out at community members in Minnesota for using whistles to alert others of federal immigration enforcement in the area, asserting that whistles should be “conside...

These guys two months ago: ha ha I hope there's a civil war we'll make those LIBERAL BITCHES cry for mercy

These guys now: waaaaaa they're using whistles it's not FAIR waaaaa

(You can get free community safety whistles, quantity 100 to 1000, from here:

Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Good. These killings are a direc...

That includes real accountability for abuses and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Anything less would be a failure to meet this moment. The public has done its part, and now Congress must do theirs.

I did some community safety volunteering during the 2020 BLM protests and was very respectful of the organizers who had been out there long before me doing the work. They definitely had a depth of skill and understanding way beyond what could be picked up in a few weeks.

DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’ Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

Yet another reminder that Homeland Security routinely lies as a matter of policy after its violent clashes with immigrants, protesters and observers. it’s the Department of Homegrown Impunity.

If you are pissed off at how the Feds tear gassed families - tell it to the DA - Nathan Vasquez. He has more options than city council. And get it on public legal record with the Attorney General @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

my hand holding 5 small whistles in cool color combos: a sweet bisexual, a northern lights, a lemon & lime, a pastel rainbow, and a flame colored one.

Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT!

You can buy whistles from us now!

I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK!

There is no place for tear gas (or any indiscriminate chemical weapons) in Portland.

I am working on legislation preventing its use, storage, or possession in City limits. This will be a multi-month process, but you can make it go faster by convincing swing-vote Councilors to support it.

Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is

Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible

Our job now is to make sure Senate Democrats keep holding the line to get ICE Out For Good. Every Democrat must insist on real limits and accountability for the regime’s secret police before any DHS funding bill is approved.

This was what a lot of the equipment on the wishlists we set up was for, and believe me. Adding these things to the list and being told this was why?

Fucking NIGHTMARISH.

An amazing read.

Lessons from Minnesota.
