Awesome freaking news! Long time coming.
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:
If you haven't watched this 2019 documentary detailing the mass behavioral surveillance and manipulation tactics used by FB & CA (steered by Steve Bannon), it's never too late.

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.
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. ⤵️

GOOD NEWS! Security volunteer ordered to stand trial in accidental shooting of Utah No Kings protester. RIP Afa.
"The movement began at high schools in the Paris area last week before expanding nationwide." The response of *highschool students* to *proposed budget cuts* & other high school shortfalls. The last successful 'in the streets/protests' in the US was the Delano Grape Strike in 1965–1970.

If you're just waking up to the news of Tennessee's botched attempt to execute Christa Pike, my colleague @edpilkington.bsky.social has done powerful reporting on the doctor involved, who also botched an execution in May
For the 17th consecutive year, the US was the only country in the Americas to execute people. Amnesty Int. categories: - Abolitionist for all crimes (113): Penal code amended - Abolitionist for ordinary crimes (9) - Abolitionist in practice (23): None in 10+ yrs - Retentionist (54): DP still legal
No civilised country has the death penalty.

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"."

The USDA has announced a massive meat recall on more than 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products that officials said were produced without federal inspection. Danielle Langenfeld reports for @thehill.com: buff.ly/GKAsEh5
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.
#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."
Haaretz exposé: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received an explicit warning from UAE President bin Zayed days before October 7. He didn't brief Israel's security chiefs. 🔗https://tr.ee/s78NFy
Hmm, I think they left out the part where @repschneider.bsky.social voted with Republicans to defund universities whose students wanted to divest in Israel.
Here's what New Dems were up to during the final week of the August district work period!
The @newdems.bsky.social fascists define Fiscal Responsibility as putting the genocidal goals of a terrorist "country" above Americans.
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.
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.
Did this shitlib bs already trend, or is it not that big of a deal? They not only want to condemn socialism, but now they’ve included DSA specifically.

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:

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:
