After 40+ years of campaigning, NYC has voted to end its horse-drawn carriage industry🎉🐴 This deadly industry has claimed the lives of horses and a teenage boy. Now, horses are leaving dangerous city streets behind, and we're pledging $50,000 to help them retire to greener pastures!

It still confounds me that we let this MF & CA/Bannon get away with maybe the most insidious, damaging-to-democracy crime ever committed.

Today, a judge in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay $25 billion for misleading users on data privacy and a range of other statements that a jury deemed deceptive (and willfully so). Last month I broke down the jury's determinations on each of the questions posed to it:

The Russian connection to Elon Musk, is proven. This may be news to some, but we'we known this for some time, and worth repeating👇 Musk used multiple investors to buy Twitter, now X. One of the investors was 8VC. 8VC employs the sons of sanctioned Russian oligarchs Radim Moshkovich and Petr Aven.

cybernews.comWho helped Musk acquire Twitter? There’s a Russian connection | CybernewsElon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter involved many financial institutions, banks, and investment funds – but also, indirectly, Russian oligarchs, tied to the Kremlin.

The platform X, owned by Elon Musk, is a propaganda tool for the #MAGA movement and Russian intelligence. X actively engages in censorship, undermines free speech and democracy. I urge all individuals and businesses to log off and delete their accounts, because using X supports fascism. ⤵️

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

What now lol "The co-pilot of a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv tried to crash the plane after stabbing the pilot. Doron Spielman, a spokesperson for the Israeli prime minister's office, told Reuters the incident was not believed to ⁠have been a hijacking, describing it as a "different incident"."

Pay attention to where you get your news from. This video was posted over an hour ago. There has been zero substantiation that this was a "terror attack." And look at how many Western MSM are reporting it based on "Israeli sources tell us." I mean it could be true, but we do not know that yet.

Someone entrusted with protecting others should NEVER get a pass for sexually abusing an animal. FBI agents hold enormous authority, and animals deserve protection too. Tell your senator to keep bestiality an automatic disqualifier 👉 www.peta.vg/48sy

Remember strikes and how successful they were? Every successful strike requires mutual aid and sacrifices. We are the economy - we can make all the rules - not by electing weak promise-breakers - but by setting and demanding our own terms.

Working Class History @workingclasshistory.com

#OtD 15 Sep 1978 a strike of 11,600 workers in Sudbury, Canada began after the mining company Inco Ltd. proposed layoffs and cuts to pay and benefits. After nine months, strikers won concessions

Wouldn’t it be great if the Tanakh included an entire chapter condemning self-serving leaders who sacrifice the flock they’re supposed to protect? Never mind, I found it: Ezekiel 34. "I am against the shepherds. I will demand My flock from them, and I will put an end to their tending the flock."

The @newdems.bsky.social fascists define Fiscal Responsibility as putting the genocidal goals of a terrorist "country" above Americans.

New Dems@newdems.bsky.social

Republicans have proven time and again that they are not the party of “fiscal responsibility” and that change is needed. View the full statement from New Dem Leadership here: newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/media-center...

And you funneled $10 billion dollars of taxpayer funds to a bunch of fucking terrorists and war criminals. We can't normalize this abuse of power and we will do whatever it takes to hold you accountable for your blatant fascism.

New Dems@newdems.bsky.social

Trump funneled $620 million dollars of taxpayer funds into his son’s business. We can't normalize this abuse of power and we will do everything in our power to hold this administration accountable for blatant corruption.

Israel settlers have besieged Qusra in the occupied West Bank. For hours, settlers have been attacking Palestinians. Israeli occupation military vehicles have blocked an ambulance from helping injured people.

Melting ice is destabilizing mountainous regions and exacerbating debris flow hazards. A new @science.org study analyzes the collapse of a moraine dam in the Himalayas and shares how mitigation strategies can be applied to high-risk areas. Read more at CTV News: www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

What's worse is the Dept. of Death argued that the 2020 rape occurred during her contracted duties and must be brought as a Workman's Comp claim. A judge just agreed. Because she was on a long-term stint, and strict DOD regs re foreign health care, she was unable to obtain therapy or counseling.

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:
