A new federal indictment pulls back the curtain on sadistic behavior by cops in northern California, who allegedly brutalized residents — with K-9 dog bites or by shooting them with “less lethal” projectiles — and even bragged of breaching their civil rights. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/antioch-cops-morteza-amiri-eric-rombough-devon-wenger-1234812466/

What’s wrong with letting a billionaire develop his own private space program and satellite launch capability?

It’s not like he’s suddenly going to turn evil and wind up pro-Russian or something!

People in California and New York pay 20% of federal taxes and have 4 Senators. People in 21 states--AK ID UT MT WY ND SD NE KS OK IA MO AR LA MS AL TN KY IN WV SC--pay 15% of federal taxes and have 42 Senators.

What's that old saying? Oh yeah, taxation without representation.

Kanye West just posted a photo of a swastika inside of the Star of David on Twitter. This is abhorrent and dangerous. Shame on anyone who has enabled and supported him on his crusade against the Jewish people. We refuse to be silent in the face of this deplorable anti-Semitism. Never again.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the same people who are anti-Black are (by and large) also antisemitic, anti-Latinx, anti-Asian, anti-LGBTQI, anti-women -- etc. The shorthand is white supremacy, but it's really straight white male Christian supremacy, and it is less about "hate" and more about power and about sowing fear through stories and stereotypes in order to retain power.

We can't fight it unless we know what we're looking at.

$44B is actually a small price to pay to destroy the platform used to organize labor unions at Starbucks, Amazon, and other companies with a combined market cap over a TRILLION dollars. The timing is definitely not an accident.

For all arguments about staying on Twitter, I’d just quote what someone on here said earlier:

When a Nazi buys your bar and starts inviting over all the other Nazis, and the Nazis get free drinks and start to push around all of the other people there, who aren’t Nazis, it’s a Nazi Bar. I wouldn’t go to a Nazi Bar.

That’s it.

BREAKING: President Biden says he’ll push Congress to ban assault rifles before Republicans take the majority.

Smash the ❤️ if you agree with President Biden that it's time to ban assault weapons.

Over on Twitter transphobic bigots are openly calling for genocide while the website’s owner cheers with glee.
Apple must pull Twitter from their App store. They must not and cannot endorse this hatred and terrorism.
Merrick Garland: Maybe you want to tell the public that you still believe in the rule of law and no one is above it. Maybe you want to do so by indicting Donald J. Trump.
