40% of Uvalde’s city budget goes to police. The school district had its own police force. This is what happened ⬇️ After decades of mass shootings, there is still 0 evidence that police have the ability to stop them from happening. Gun safety and other policies can.

Let's review the (reported) performance of the Uvalde Police and CBP response team on Tuesday: - Waited 35-60 minutes before entering school while kids bled out, wasting golden hour - Tazed / arrested parents begging them to go in, and attempting to rescue their kids themselves

I just keep going back to how sad it is to live in this country. The constant violence and heartbreak you're forced to bury bc the anxiety of needing to stay focused on your own life in order to stay afloat is so overwhelming. Too much to worry about. When do we really grieve?

The victim in Saturday's stabbing homicide was second homeless person murdered on Capitol Hill this month. Disappointed but not surprised by those who use the coverage to demonize those living on streets or spread fear about "serial killer" capitolhillseattle.com/2022/03/victim

This is HUGE.
@ClimateArena
should be ashamed of themselves. The SKCC is a lifeline for people to access free health, dental + vision care each year. Putting profit over long standing community resources is not surprising, but should not go without accountability.

The Seattle Center's medical, dental, & vision clinic provides free healthcare to thousands of people. They hoped to hold their first post-pandemic clinic at Climate Pledge Arena this fall, but got bumped out by some big name concerts. crosscut.com/news/2022/03/c

Seattle mayor @bruceharrell just said that “one of the best times to treat people with drug and alcohol issues could be when they’re arrested." This is the opposite of evidence-based and the opposite of best practice, unless you're talking about the best way to waste money.

As always, a wonderful breakdown of the dems failure to message well from my favorite messaging maven:

Addressing right-wing claims by rebutting them is handing the GOP a club and hoping they don’t hit you with it. Whether it’s Nixon telling us he’s not a crook or Biden repeating he doesn't want to defund police, negating constructions simply reinforce the original claim. /1

Love that an attempted coup happened a year ago, voting rights are being dismantled across the nation, and the dems first SOTU was a weird attempt at appealing to republicans. We're about to lose 2024 and its not because the party isn't "moderate" enough. Buckle up!!

We really had the largest civil rights protests in US history and our government responded with violent crackdowns followed by hollow virtue signaling that was quickly replaced with reactionary expansions of our already bloated police budgets.

it is INCREASINGLY clear that a future reliant on fossil fuels is an unsustainable one. geopolitical conflict and climate disasters abound, now is the time to invest in green infrastructure and transit. tell your legislator:

The parts of #MoveAheadWA we support most would be funded through CCA. Those funds are already in place — but that doesn’t mean they're safe.

my senior year thesis (in '13) was on the impact social media was starting to have on vitalizing revolutions/contradicting state propaganda. before: dictators could easily repress information being shared, now: much harder w/o widespread internet jamming (which is a bigger move)

Russians are being bombarded with very effective Russian-language anti-war propaganda. We're seeing a lot about Zelensky etc. but Russians are widely viewing some HUGE celebrities with big, big follower counts coming out against the war.

also: no matter how much we want it, the US will never become anti-imperialist. they will be imperialists until they destroy themselves doing it. the foundation of this country, and its existence today, is all imperialism. the US cannot exist without it in its present form.

I think the only thing that could force any kind of revolution in the US would have to stem from enough direct economic unrest that affects the average consumer, and tbh this lil war we got brewing plus the US's pluto return is looking spicy ?

To recap: NYPD arrested 12 people (at least 2 of whom live in homeless shelters & 1 of whom is a 64-year-old woman) over allegedly $1,800 of necessities. 1 misdemeanor arrest costs NYC at least $1750. So NYPD spent at least $21,000 to arrest poor people over $1,800 of stuff.
