Hey, look at this: I took the #NoFossilFuelMoney pledge! (No big surprise there, I'm sure. @AlleghenyGREENS.bsky.social, you know.) I did however alter the pledge to confirm that I wouldn't accept ANY fossil fuel money at all.

It is heartening to see "normies" (i.e., non-Leftists) recognize that denying healthcare is violence.

Will they make the cognitive leap to recognize that denying [food/water/shelter/clothing/etc.] is also violence?

The Problem with Joe and Hunter | Black Agenda Report The outrage surrounding President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden is not just about clemency for the relatively minor charges he was facing. The younger Biden has lived a life of great privileg...

The younger Biden has lived a life of great privileges, all granted to him by his father, who is equally undeserving of his own success. The two corrupt mediocrities will soon fade away and the public will be spared from watching them fail upward.

According to the standard procedures, speakers are supposed to get three minutes. Today was a budget discussion (~70 people signed up) and earlier in the year was a ceasefire resolution discussion (~300 people signed up).

Any time there is a lot of feedback, they limit the time. Democracy fail!

Allegheny Cnty Council limited agenda-related comments to one minute per speaker.

If members don't want to hear what citizens have to say, they shouldn't be on the council.

The only ones who care:
☆ Anita Prizio
☆ @bethanyhallam.bsky.social
☆ @dangrzybek.bsky.social
☆ Michelle Naccarati-Chapkis

Join us with the @PghBDS as we again gather during the workday at the #Howmet Aerospace Headquarters. We continue to tell Howmet that the contract with Lockheed Martin to produce specialty metal parts for the F-35 jet needs to be cancelled.

I just saw a clip from this! That was so amazing! Follow me back so I can send you a message.

I'm not talking about the establishment; I'm talking about voters.

I think that the citizens would be open to Left-leaning policies if they were exposed to it outside of "RUSSIA! RUSSIA!" fear-mongering. But that's all liberals have in their arsenal.

That's no evidence. It's Mehdi Hasan trying to play word games because he openly supported Kamala Harris.

I voted for Jill Stein in Pennsylvania and feel amazing about it!

Opinion: The Trans Sports Attacks Were Never About Sports Attacks on transgender participation in sports was never about sports, and always about getting people comfortable with discriminating against transgender people.

. @erininthemorning.bsky.social: "If transgender people are deemed 'dangerous' on a soccer field, why wouldn’t they also be considered 'dangerous' in a bathroom? ... These bans aren’t isolated—they’re part of a calculated strategy to chip away at transgender rights until there’s nothing left."
