A Texas Cop Searched License Plate Cameras Nationwide for a Woman Who Got an Abortion The sheriff said the woman self-administered the abortion and her family were concerned for her safety, so authorities searched through Flock cameras. Experts are still concerned that a cop in a state...

Update: Alder @leniann.bsky.social has joined alders Vasquez, La Spata, Fuentes, and Sigcho-Lopez by removing her name from the ordinance to require all licensed businesses in Chicago to install surveillance cameras.

24 sponsors remain.

Keep the pressure on folks.

Any business has the option to install cameras already. What happens when it’s ICE, instead of CPD, who subpoenas footage?

As Israel Slaughters Gazans, US House Progressives Push 'Block the Bombs Act' | Common Dreams Progressive lawmakers in Congress push for passage of the Block the Bombs Act to withhold offensive weapons from Israel as it continues to annihilate the Gaza Strip.

"By introducing the Block the Bombs Act, a broad coalition is listening to the American people who don't want their taxpayers' money to continue supporting gross violations of U.S., international, and humanitarian law."

Scoop: Trump impeachment called “idiotic” in House Dem meeting Andrew Solender

What we're hearing: Nadler argued that all Democrats should vote to table the articles of impeachment, according to multiple lawmakers and aides who were in the room. He said that unity against the measure would help protect House Democrats who are politically vulnerable — either to primary challengers who say they need to do more to fight Trump, or general election opponents who would use a vote for impeachment against them.

The other side: Thanedar said in a statement to Axios, "I'm pursuing impeachment because the president has committed clear, impeachable crimes." "I've heard from my constituents and people around the nation that they want this President held accountable and that's what I am doing," he added.

Democrats are shying away from impeachment. Why?

To provide incumbents with political cover if they’re challenged:

like I dunno maybe the world’s richest man who is obsessed with promoting the white genocide conspiracy theory wasn’t making a mistake when he programmed his chat bot to perform in a way that generated headlines about “white genocide” in every major media outlet within 12 hours

Let's be crystal clear:

Any Democratic lawmaker supporting this is actively helping hand Trump the power to censor the Internet.

ras baraka told right wing christians 'there is a place in hell for all of you' and said any person in newark who rides the bus is a 'resident' and fuck man we need more of this shit

Inspiring to see someone with power precisely call out the reckless cruelty of what can only be called the Concentration Camp Tendency.

And why was Baraka there in the first place? Turns out the private prison facility is violating the law, but also unwilling to be served with legal process

Amazing. UHC shareholders are suing because after the CEO shooting, the company was “no longer willing” to use “aggressive, anti-consumer tactics” to generate the profits they were promised.

A gift from the content gods.

The hyper-militarized policing being inflicted on campus activists is unacceptable and out of control.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

this kind of shit absolutely cannot be rewarded, every senate democrat should have a target on their backs in 26/28

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

Great, so Senate Democrats can come out refreshed with the hot new battle plan of trying to be watered-down polite Republicans then blaming progressives and the left when this fails to rally the Dem base, fails to pick up swing voters, and gets laughed at by GOP voters.

i think most white americans who have never been Policed don’t realize that you are always already a criminal.

the second anyone with institutional power believes you to be, needs you to be, or wants you to be a criminal you are and always have been.

As this article makes clear, they hate Diasporist Jews for the exact same reason they hate trans people - because they hate any identity that acknowledges fluidity, that crosses boundaries, that cannot be policed by the hard borders of either the nation-state or of a rigidly enforced gender binary.
