The woman who was shot in the head by LAPD and then trampled by horses tells her story from the hospital, where she now has staples in her head and is being treated for subdural hematomas and massive bruising on her arm and legs. Content warning for deep bruising and traumatic story.

Cops teargassed my whole neighborhood, including parents holding children, to crush anti-racist protests. The mayor claimed a mere list of Black people killed by the police was actually a death threat against her personally. Their definition of "peaceful" is "totally obedient and powerless"

As SCOTUS said in Houston v. Hill: The "freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state."

Jared Golden, who was once on the staff of GOP Sen. Susan Collins's Homeland Security + Governmental Affairs Committee, was earlier today one of the few Democrats who voted with GOP to force DC police to cooperate with ICE, against the city's own laws.

What @golden.house.gov is saying here is straight up disinfo. Padilla didn't shove anyone, and McIver was engaging in a legally protected action.
He's an absolute Quisling. Hope the Dems in Maine find someone who isn't a disinfo agent to primary him.

In New York State, the statute of limitations for armed robbery is 5 years. But if you’re brown and you committed a civil immigration violation 30 years ago, the feds are coming for you because white nationalism has no statute of limitations.

I long for the days when people just had different opinions and not completely different realities spun to them by corporate-owned media.
