This is “one of the most catastrophic events we've seen in our lifetime here in Spokane," KHQ anchor @KHQSean says, noting it's impossible to know many homes have already burned. Now it's sunset. "Tomorrow morning is going to be devastating for our community," @KHQLeslie says.”

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.

Autopsies of Black Lives Matter and George Floyd protests often conclude that movements produced tough-on-crime backlash. My new study in Work and Occupations finds a different kind of movement outcome: BLM changed how local reporters cover cops and jails. 🧵 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Similarly, if a random citizen at your daughter's soccer game wanted to check the genitals of the kids playing, you would call the fucking cops, and rightly so. Stop debating these people and call them out for what they are -- creepy perverts, freaky busybodies and utter hypocrites.
Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat's the difference between a landlord who sneaks into your apartment to rifle through your underwear drawer and an AG who sues for your abortion records? The state health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s periods isn’t any less creepy than the abusive ex who still tracks your location.

Guy Berger@econberger.bsky.social · 5d ago3/ I didn't include it in the prior chart, but health insurance costs are growing at their fastest rate in almost two decades - that's probably at least a partial explanation for acceleration non-wage benefit costs.
ExxonMobil and Chevron reported a combined $26.5 billion in profits Friday. But the immense profit stemming in large part from the war in Iran is fast making the companies a ripe political target. https://wapo.st/4wsxQAF

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
