Maria Cantwell: disappointing per usual

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

The words donate today with the ufw eagle and the farm worker to the left on a red background and to the right A black and white picture of a picket line with a ufw flag in it with the word overlay: DONATE TODAY! WE'VE GOT TO STOP TRUMP'S FARM WORKER WAGE CUTS. YOU CAN HELP!

We've got to stop Trump's farm worker wage cuts. Their H-2A rule change drastically cuts wages for H-2A farm workers and local workers alike. We filed suit in federal court to block it, but lawsuits take a long time and are very expensive. Please help. act.seiu.org/a/trumpswage... #WeFeedYou

Manhattan DA drops assault charge in Washington Square Park snowball fight Influencer Gusmane Coulibaly now faces a misdemeanor count of obstructing government administration and a harassment violation, not assault, in the viral park incident.

Drop all the charges you fucks

Okay Mr. Mayor, was it just a snowball fight or was it a criminal attack? Because your cops are proceeding as if it’s the latter!

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Almost every statement DHS has made in the past few months about any incidents where someone has died or been subject to unaccountable federal violence has been proven false.

That's just logical.

30 years.

This video should be on every network.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

Groveling

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

An Instagram story by Noah Reid sharing a graphic of Auston Matthews that says “the concept of wearing the C in a Canadian market and not thinking twice about aligning yourself with the man who keeps threatening to annex the country your fanbase lives in” Reid has typed below “trade time”

NOAH REID HAS SPOKEN

And as someone who lives in Ottawa, this applies to Sens captain Brady Tkachuk too

Never forget that the primary tactic of this movement is distraction. They point to medical statements, procedural wins and tangentially related anecdotes because *they have no evidence of their core claim*

If lots of kids were transitioning without assessment they would be talking about that.

Looks like he's got a life vest on but standing up doesn't seem like the safest choice.

ATTENTION BLUESKY

you don't want to watch the State of the Union next week

you want to watch a PowerPoint party telethon of your favorite Bluesky super posters delivering their most unhinged hot takes to raise money for mutual aid in Twin Cities and Portland

Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isn’t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people aren’t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.

Vin too expensive, but malt liquor will do

this big primary is now exactly a week away!

Actually, on second thought, please put it in the paper that i am mad

Detectives' Endowment A... _X.com DEA @NYCPDDEA Statement from DEA President Scott Munro: "What we saw in Washington Square Park today was not harmless fun — it was a deliberate, outrageous, and dangerous attack on uniformed police officers. The Detectives' Endowment Association is calling on Mayor Mamdani and District Attorney Bragg to ensure every individual responsible for this illegal behavior is prosecuted. No free pass. No get out of jail free card. Make no mistake: detectives will do what they always do. They will identify those involved and they will apprehend them. Our men and women in blue deserve to be safe. They deserve to be protected. And they deserve to be respected.
