The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

BREAKING WaPo: Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues. 
The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now.

Fucking murderers.

This is footage of ICE handcuffing a 26 year old father after murdering him in broad daylight. We cannot look away. Abolish ICE. Abolish qualified immunity. Hold these murderous thugs accountable.

Billionaire Blazers owner Tom Dundon is actively harming the Portland economy while Tina Kotek, Keith Wilson, Julia Brim Edwards, & the "moderates" on City Council try to convince us to throw no strings attached public dollars at him with blind faith that it will help the economy. This is a farce.

Tom Dundon, notoriously cheap Dallas billionaire/new Blazers owner/man seeking $600 million from Portland and Multnomah County taxpayers for Moda Center, just laid off roughly 20% of team's front office staff, including 18-year Blazers digital reporter Casey Holdahl. www.wweek.com/news/busines...

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*

The way the Oregonian, the governor, and other electeds are pushing narratives that we must unquestioningly give a billionaire millions of tax payer dollars for the Moda center without evidence is astounding. I’ve never clutched pearls but this level of fiscal irresponsibility is getting me there!

Activist Guido Reichstadter, in Washington DC, shut down the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge to protest the US-led aggression against Iran. He has called for “mass nonviolent direct action” to dismantle the current administration’s war efforts.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

More than 500,000 Cubans marched past the U.S. Embassy in Havana on May Day to denounce Trump’s blockade. In a country of about 10.9 million, that is roughly 1 in every 22 people. They showed up to say one thing: "Viva Cuba Libre."

A state where Republicans just stampeded to eliminate an office before a Black man could get sworn into it is leaping to eliminate more offices held by Black people? Shocked, I’m shocked.

veritenews.orgBill eliminating Calvin Duncan’s court clerk position passesNo member of the Orleans delegation voted for the bill, which specifically targets the Orleans Parish clerks offices and will leave Calvin Duncan locked out of his position.

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

We should care as much about journalists who choose to have a party with a man who orders the shooting of civilians who are peacefully protesting as much as they care about the rest of us.

People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act. Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

Jen reposted

I would add one more thing, aside from the point that no country can possibly replace what Israel gets from US: much of of the influence that Israel has with other states stems from perceptions that it provides a short cut to Washington; without perception of US-Israel bond, much of that disappears.
