Mary Turner complained that they lynched her husband, so they lynched her while she was 8 months pregnant.

Go get him!

Evict Elon Musk's Twitter for non-payment of rent just like you do normal people.

“Now nearly a year into Jenkins’ tenure, #SanFrancisco has its results: a record 200 fatal overdoses in the first quarter of 2023 (a 41% increase from last year, when Boudin was DA), drug-dealing trials in which Jenkins failed to obtain a single conviction, massive increases in police spending, and a dystopian “San Francisco crime is out of control” narrative that is as persistent as ever. What happened to Boudin's causing these problems? It was a lie-plain and simple”

@Radical_EgoCom Like "The Planeteers reveal that single-stream recycling is a scam" and "The Planeteers reveal a major car manufacturer has been lying about emissions tests" are completely plausible.

when a tackle shop owner dies without naming a beneficiary, his heirs have to go through pro bait it took me 3 hours to write this crap you're welcome

Just a reminder that @elonmusk@twitter.com insists there is NO EVIDENCE that Allen, Texas shooter, pictured below, is a white supremacist

250 K residents of Florida just got kicked off Medicaid

Other things Republicans keep you free from:

Parents keep in custody of their beloved children

Great job, Republicans, this lib feels so owned

The thing about January 6th, and especially about how Republicans behaved in the aftermath, is that the veil dropped.

We all saw how willing Republicans were to murder Americans and rig elections to hold power, and we all saw them doing so without remorse or regret.

We can't unsee that now, and Republicans know we cannot unsee that, so their only path forward is to accelerate the purges, the imprisonments, and the killings. We are at a very dangerous moment.

People need to be aware that Texas is about the eliminate the ability of local governments to create local regulations. This puts Houston, Austin, San Antonio etc basically under the control of the state government and unable to enact laws protecting labor, environment, quality of life, etc. Noise ordinances? Nope. Drought measures? Nope. Paid leave? Nope.

Once that passes, we're basically occupied territory.

@pluralistic State of MT has so gutted it's DMV system, and instituted an appointment system in which no appointments are ever available -- that my husband has to go over and pay some private company in Bozeman to renew his license. We have fewer than a million people in the WHOLE STATE. It's criminal on the part of our state govt.

Elizabeth Holmes is in trouble for costing the rich money and making them look silly. It has nothing to do with how what she did affected any of us.

When you claim that a White supremacist rally is a psyop, it's called klansplaining.

I would like to thank Elon Musk for posting a hateful antisemitic tweet and then defending it like a bratty five year-old, thereby reminding me that my quitting Twitter a few weeks ago was an absolute moral necessity. If I hadn’t done it then I’d have to do it now.
