Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

🚨 #BREAKING (CHICAGO SUBURBS) ÏCE agents pulled a GUN, and a TASER, on unarmed U.S. citizens for recording them from a public sidewalk… while threatening, “you aren’t going to like the outcome.”

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Yesterday in Humboldt Park, ICE goons pulled weapons on teenage activists Ben and Sam Luhmann. Just a month prior one had shoved 16-year-old Sam to the ground for legally filming their activities in Joliet, IL. The courage of these brothers is unmatched.

Stop worrying about 2028, if we don't show up and VOTE them out in November, it won't matter.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

What El-Sayed actually said about why he was voting for Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 election.

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

Texas got hemp wrong because this law hurts local businesses without giving Texans more freedom. We should trust adults to make informed decisions, backed by strong testing and clear labels instead of unnecessary bans.

If it wasn’t for truck drivers, we’d starve. If it wasn’t for sanitation workers, we’d be overrun by rats and disease. If it wasn’t for construction workers, we wouldn’t have roads and the economy would collapse. Just because a job isn’t glorious doesn’t mean it’s not existentially important.

When you provide the infrastructure that gives people safe, efficient options outside of the car, people will use it.

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has it figured out. I couldn't agree more. Fuck fascism.

It's not about one US Senate seat. It's about all of us together. It's about a belief that we can take our government back from the very people who want to monetize us at every turn. The fomentors of inequality. The drivers of war and genocide and apartheid. We get to decide.

The CEOs aren't smarter than you. They're not making rational, savvy decisions on behalf of shareholders, customers, and employees. They're entitled idiots with their heads up their own asses, endlessly siphoning the fruits of other people's ideas and labor. And they're usually criminals, tbh.

Read the article: He says straight up that he didn’t believe the women posed a threat but his anger level at them was still a “15 out of 10”, so he shot at them. He’s a violent misogynist and truly believes women deserve what he did for speaking to him in a way that he doesn’t like.

El-Sayed has criticized the U.S. policy of funding Israel, but has also previously called for ending unconditional foreign military aid to other countries that commit abuses like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, and Pakistan.

To be fair, turning a blind eye to abuse is kind of Gym’s thing

“Should Max Miller resign?” Jim Jordan: “He’s a good man. I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*

A glorious Summer Streets in Manhattan. Thanks @nycdot.bsky.social for the window into what Life After Cars can look like. Now we just gotta catch up to Bogota and other cities around the world and make it happen every week.

Hey @npr.org , abolishing ICE is not an 'far left position'.

Eugene, Oregon has some pretty good bike infrastructure, pretty, pretty good.
