A reminder that this has been happening to certain subsets of people for a very, very long time. It has always been horrifying and evil. Thank goodness she got let go. There are thousands who have been in cages for months, years, the rest of their cut short lives. Children, adults, elders.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

PRT needs more state funding to maintain and improve service. As more details are being announced this morning about the potential for cuts if state funding does not increase, it’s my commitment to continue to fight for the funding necessary to protect our transit system.

i feel like the Pitt mayoral campaign is going to make me overuse the "oh my god, he admit it" meme, but wow. Walnut Capital thinks that donating $13k to Corey O'Connor will give them more access to the mayor's office? & they're just straight up admitting that? www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...

Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

This is honestly really upsetting. If you already have a massive war chest, you don't need to be taking money from and meetings with Trump donors. In fact, it probably would've been better PR wise to decline both of those. But here we are.

Palestine really is the litmus test of our time. The boycotts emerging are many of the same companies that support the Israeli government committing the genocide. The same Democrats with milquetoast responses are the same ones who signed onto letters condemning the ICJ and ICC. 1/

But they're not his employees. Your staff are employed by you, and you are their boss. These are not his employees. Elon is not the President or everyone's boss. He is, potentially illegally, part of an entity (that might be itself be illegal), that is supposed to be "auditing" not running things.

Housing is a Human Right! As Mayor, I’ve delivered on my promise to make Pittsburgh a place everyone can afford by building affordable housing, creating pathways to home ownership, ensuring safe living conditions for renters, and working tirelessly to end homelessness + get unhoused people indoors.

Makes sense. Americans have been consuming superhero, vigilante savior media our entire lives. Consciously or unconsciously, people are looking for a "good" strongman to come in and save them from the current bad strongman.

Seat belts, everyone 💚 If you’re on the struggle bus, please remember your seat belt (your seat belt is self-care). It is NOT selfish to prioritize your mental health, take care of you. Visit your local library or favorite bookstore, watch your comfort show, drink some water, pet all the dogs… 💚

Israel is ramping up its violent expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank, forcing 40,000 people from their homes in weeks. This is not just an escalation—it’s part of Israel’s decades-long effort to push Palestinians off their land.

I wish more union leaders spoke openly about the political realities within the rank-and-file. Honest dialogue strengthens both movement and party—without it, we risk ceding to detached, post-materialist consultant narratives that overlook the real struggles of the working class.
