BREAKING: A new survey that Atlanta filled out to get a loan for Cop City shows that 43% of training will be for cops who live outside the State of Georgia.
Meanwhile, they are calling all out-of-state protesters “terrorists”.

so according to someone who filmed the incident and was fired for doing so, the company called the cops on a worker, the cops find him holding a knife because that’s his job—it’s a meatpacking plant!—and after they kill him, production isn’t even paused

Cops in NC shot a man who was complying with their orders, then later told the public that he was shot because he was confronting them.
But what did the cops have to say at the time?
"Fuck, bro. Fuck. Cameras. There's cameras."

Two parole officers made a home inspection in Greece, NY and stole $6,000, all on camera. One is suspended with pay; is silent on the other. The woman whose money they took, and her attorney, believe officers have stolen from many others, too.

The people protesting the destruction of a forest, and the creation of a mock city for police to practice repression, are charged with terrorism. They damaged property last night, and that is called terrorism.
Meanwhile the police who killed a protester are just doing their job.

Someone should look up how strikes being illegal worked out for everyone
Quote Tweet
1. Beginning today, workers' right to strike is on trial before the U.S. Supreme Court.
If wealthy corporations get their way, companies would be able to sue workers for the cost of a strike — like spoiled food, lost revenue, and more.
Here's what's happening:

The story of Eric Adams as NYC Mayor is 1. Slashing the budgets for public schools and libraries, 2. Expanding the already-historic $11 billion NYPD budget, and 3. Lying about crime & bail reform to scare Democrats into voting Republican & then blaming bail reform for it.

When you’re a wealthy banker, your company’s investors pay civil penalties for your massive crimes, you get rich, and the nightly news doesn’t call you a “career criminal.” The criminal system in the US is only designed for the poor.
