1 person shot and killed by U.S. marshal in Northeast DC
A U.S. marshal shot and killed a person Wednesday afternoon in Northeast D.C. This shooting happened on Hay Street right in front of the Cesar Chavez Middle Public Charter School and not far from the ...
I heard about a killing of a Black man in DC by US marshals on a call from someone in the neighborhood then saw it confirmed by the organization @harrietsdreams.bsky.social & here. A Black man in DC was killed by the state today. Make the same noise for him as for anyone else when we have his name.

The house I grew up in was right on RT66 in Devil's Elbow, MO! Favorite summer entertainment were the classic car tours and Boys/Girls club trail rides. I live in Collinsville, IL now, still near the mother-road. I'm glad it's being celebrated.

Like Lady Liberty herself who stands on the shore of the Hudson with the message βgive me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.β Be the torch that carries that flame, as she does.This country was founded under fire and brimstone, show that fire and brimstone in the face of tyranny. Stand tall and proud with your brothers and sisters as you march, as you protest, as you resist. There is never a night so bleak and so dark where the sun doesnβt come back and shine. There is hope out there, there is resistance. Be that resistance. No matter which way that you choose, you are a part of it, and we are its legacy. Remember that.View all 2,030 comments

I get tired of saying it, but Iβll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

As others have aptly pointed out, police forces have been murdering people for a long time, especially POC. This terrorism from ICE is only a continuation and newest version of what we have been seeing for a long time.

Gray speckled dirty snow background picture with text, "May ICE lose fingers and toes to frostbite, may their dick tips freeze to pants zippers, may they never be warm again. (Pass it on"
A little sympathetic magic for those who wish to do good people harm this weekend during this winter storm.

I don't take it personally, but I do wish they'd realize our system has been deliberately manipulated by those in power to disenfranchise & remove agency from the majority of the population. That & they truly do not understand the size of our country & our government's willingness to harm citizens.

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission.
The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

You should take some more somber/serious headshots for thumbnails when you cover serious topics...It's a little disconcerting to see smiling faces alongside "they're covering up a state murder."

Starting my day with asking my boss/library director (whyt/f/40ish): What is our policy on what to do if the Snow Roaches π§come to the building? And being met with a blank stare and then referred to the previously named "Patriot Act" policy that only covers not giving patron info out...

I mean Superman is the ultimate American immigrant. Not only is he not from this country, he's not from this planet! If we want to talk about superheroes who are friendly to the ruling class, that would be Batman. But yeah, the social contract has been broken by those who were supposed to uphold it.

As HHS restricts telework, CDC asks employees to βbypassβ reasonable accommodation process
Multiple CDC supervisors are raising concerns that a new HHS reasonable accommodation policy conflicts with federal disability law.
1/9
π¨ CDC supervisors are instructing employees with disabilities to email their *personal medical records directly to the CDC Chief Operating Officer*, Lynda Chapman, to obtain temporary telework -- because the formal reasonable accommodation system is overwhelmed.
Yes. Really. π§΅β¬οΈ

Sweet corn? Watermelon? Those are things that are seasonally appropriate. Maybe add peaches, cherries, and summer squash/zucchini?

BB has worked very hard to make Israel=Judaism, when it very much is not. Doing this on purpose means he can shout antisemitism, when the world calls him out on his human rights abuses. This conflation hurts the Jewish community worldwide when hate crimes occur as a result of BB's deception.

My brain has the capacity for so much nuance that it's getting in the way of having good relationships with some of my Jewish friends. They can't seem to grasp the idea that BB has leaned into the negative AS tropes (ie controlling everything) by pumping money into US politics through AIPAC.

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract.
This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers!

The announcement video was heavily edited, and he can't keep his eyes open because he's had a stroke. The mouth droop on the right side is far more than a "relaxed" position.
