Six days left and a city to win. zohranfornyc.com/events

#OtD 19 Jun 1937 police massacred 16 people and injured nearly 300 when striking steelworkers' wives and children demonstrated in their support in Youngstown, Ohio. Many were shot in the back as they ran from the police stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9116...

It's Juneteenth! Here are some zines I made at the local Juneteenth Market and at a Seeing Other People Photography workshop I helped put on! I love my people, I love myself, and I love zines! 1/2

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

I look at situations where ppl do things like coopt other marginalized ppls hashtags or platforms on the entitlement that "they got to give solidarity" but I'm like...there's so much room for that in addressing labor trafficking that doesnt involved vague co-optation of other movements.

So true. Also a shout out to the UK disability community because their safety nets are also being destroyed. This eugenics movement against the disability community is international. Wherever you live start advocating now.

“oh They got this all screwed up”

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

I learned of a group of parents and educators yesterday who have been building an Abolition + Education Justice Resource Hub together. They are launching their resource on 6/19 from 3 to 5 pm at FSUMC People's Church on 111th Street. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... - they are giving away free books

The violence reported is that two people drove their cars into protesters.

Send comments by Monday June 16th! Tell DOE: Do not remove these civil rights & accessibility protections.

Minnesota will not be cowed by a fascist with a gun we will not be deterred by Republican using terror. You literally cannot kill what we are fighting for

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Liberal Scolds: The Civil Rights movement waved the American Flag to show that they were true Americans. Dr Martin Luther King Jr: *Waving the American Flag* The Greatest Purveyor of Violence in the World is my country, the United States of America.

A data broker owned by the major airlines, including Delta, American, and United, collected travelers’ flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection, and in the contract told CBP not to reveal where the data came from. From @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

Last week I was gonna say: "Stonewall was a Riot, so pick up a Brick!" But now I wouldn't say that. Now I'm saying: "Pick up a Scooter!" Cause those little fuckers are blocking sidewalks everywhere.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

"I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream" keeps repeating in my brain.

When they say peaceful they mean not disruptive. They interpret any interruption of the status quo as violent

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Reminder: Actors are still on strike for bare minimum guard rails on the use of AI in videogames and we have been for 11 months. We have struck longer and with less resources than our on-camera colleagues.

Tapping the sign

What's really hard to reckon with is not just that we inflict these horrific cruelties upon people for no reason, but that a sizeable chunk of people - your neighbors, our neighbors - actually wholeheartedly supports this cruelty.

There is growing consensus that Israel is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. See @cipolicy.bsky.social’s fact sheet on the experts—including Israelis—calling out these violations of international law, and what can be done in response: internationalpolicy.org/publications...

Me: "I know how bad this disease has messed me up and intellectually I know I'm doing right but I feel outnumbered, abandoned, and kind of silly. Maybe I should relax a little." Folks in Asia: "We call this one Razor Blade Throat." Me: "you know what, I'm good."

The TODAY Show recommends N95s, vaccines, and frequent testing to dodge the potentially forthcoming NB.1.8.1 summer wave. 💉💪😷 The U.S. government recommends against vaccines for children and pregnant people. 🤦 Link to video & more detailed article: www.today.com/health/coron...

I thought this line was particularly telling, and not just for New Yorkers: “I never used to be as far left as a Bernie [Sanders], but those are the only people who are looking out for us,” said Anita Hennessey, a 61-year-old child care worker.

Please donate to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund if you are able:

it is a genocide, and as with all wars, also a trade show for arms manufacturers

We're now 8 points away from sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs.
