MAN-E

I'm honored to be one of the storytellers at tomorrow’s storytelling event in support of Kathleen Madonna-Emmerling, candidate for Allegheny County Council District 1. Join us! #morethanwords

Allegheny County celebrates its 237th birthday today! From our rich history to vibrant communities, we're proud to call this incredible place home.

Outburst captured during Allegheny County Jail Oversight Board meeting; what led up to it The president judge of Allegheny County caught screaming at two board members during a meeting discussing issues with the jail.

"I was really shocked... She threatened to have us removed, while she was simultaneously defending this man’s use of the n-word; she was silencing us." - @man-eternally.bsky.social

I know we elect these judges… I wish the road toward accountability was easier. The power trip some of them have… and how it shows up as horrid racism and classism when their power is questioned or confronted.

And I find it really gross to see that preservation of the status quo is more important to Judge Evashavik than justice in the room. Impossible not to notice who she’ll threaten to send from the room, and who she’ll defend.

A real one

At the Jail Oversight Board meeting today, Judge Evashavik paused the meeting to offer support to a white man, John Kenstowicz, who emailed the full unredacted n word three times to County Council, earning a rebuke from the council and upsetting Black community members

Happy Labor Day!!

While you’re enjoying your cookout, don’t forget that workers in the Allegheny County Jail STILL work 7 days a week, 10-15 hour days, and make $0.00 per hour!!!!!!

I’ve been to a lot of funerals and I’ve never witnessed the level of community and care that I’ve witnessed at an Islamic funeral.

I have never seen respect and love for the deceased like I’ve seen from the Muslim community.

Well deserved

We voted on whether or not to extend the $125 per month dispersments to January. The deciding vote that prevented it was cast by the controller's illegal designee

JOB Update:
The jail oversight board voted to continue the commissary support with a reduction to $100. The funds will now also be dispersed on the first and the 15th instead of only once on the first of the month. The board will have to vote to continue the fund starting in February of next year.

This Wednesday, the Jail Oversight Board will be voting to determine the fate of commissary support given to incarcerated folks in the ACJ.
Most of the board who wanna stop the support intentionally skipped the regular August meeting and scheduled this at a time where most people can't attend. #job

Pittsburgh homicides drop to 8-year low Homicides in Pittsburgh fell 37% in the first half of this year compared to the same period in 2024.

Pittsburgh homicides drop to an 8 year low but you will never hear the people who pushed him out of office give Mayor Ed Gainey the credit he deserves.

This is the power of a Black mayor.

Brian Davis, the racist Allegheny County Jail corrections officer who was caught on video brandishing a barbed wire covered bat that said “N*gger beater” has been fired.

Meet Brian Davis, a corrections officer at the Allegheny County Jail since 2018. As he shows off a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire which he, named “nigger beater”, I can’t help but imagine the interactions he’s had with the thousands of black people he’s come across in the ACJ.

It’s #BlackWomensEqualPayDay – a reminder that Black women are systematically underpaid for the same work as their counterparts.

Black women deserve better, and today we recommit to fighting for economic security and equal pay.

No better way to spend the 4th of July than having a big cookout for the homeless homies alongside some awesome volunteers 🥰🎆

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Illegal Strikes on Iran

Trump is acting fully outside of his authority and is once again trampling on the Constitution. This is an illegal and terrifying escalation. Dropping bombs on Iran brings us closer to war and he is putting millions of lives at stake.

Congress must pass our War Powers Resolution to rein him in.

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”
