We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

“I would be blind not to call it out. It is my duty to call it out.” More of this, please. Incredible news out of the courts today as Judge Young calls out this administration’s discrimination against our vulnerable communities and orders the restoration of NIH grants.

just in case the millions of Americans who showed up to protest this weekend didn't clue Dems in and while I'd like to see more people doing the right thing because it's the right thing, there's also the Newsom path: you fight back because it's good for your own personal ambitions

I get why some people are critical of the portray of Dr. Mensah in the Murderbot TV show, but as someone with General Anxiety, I am loving it and the depiction that Anxiety/Panic Attacks =\= Incompetence You can be amazingly smart, strong, and competent and still struggle with Anxiety.

Total meltdown of the much-loathed, bankrupt Diamond Distributors. They've stopped paying publishers, and now are apparently holding hostage their books in the Diamond warehouse!

Also: these "alt" fake government accounts have definitely dabbled in Q-adjacent conspiracy fodder posts, skeeting shit like a series of numbers, followed by "please ignore." What the fuck even FOR, fuck outta here with that shit. Whoever's running these accounts are grifter assholes.

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

I had been wondering about this, that Boelter wanted to and was actively planning to kill a lot more D legislators. visited at least two other homes.

Part of this is that very often it IS true that starting to act on a ruling, then reversing course if it’s overturned, is a lot more costly & onerous than just delaying a week or two. But that shouldn’t just be assumed, and it’s very much not the case here.

Watching the HBO/Discovery OceanGate documentary then immediately getting recommended "Undercurrent: The Disappearance of Kim Wall" doc... Just two documentaries of different ways rich men have used private subs to kill people... Two nickels, etc.

And I gotta admit, the Netflix doc DOES contain new information. You hear "Stockon was a narcissist" And you're like, I mean sure, obviously, he'd have to be. but actually having the man ON TAPE firing someone who was like "Hey this is unsafe, I can't sign off on it" is a whole different thing.
