WESA's @juliazenkevich.bsky.social reports Allegheny County Council has a new president, Michelle Naccarati-Chapkis. Her replacement of Pat Catena (which she reported was likely last week) means women now lead the county exec office, and county's court of common pleas www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

There appear to be 8 votes on county council to remove Pat Catena as president. 6 of those councilors attended the kickoff for his state House campaign just 4 months ago. A controversial mailer in that race now jeopardizes the presidency he's held since 2020. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

This was a straight up execution, and further evidence that this system cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE. Prosecute the officers. And fuck the bootlickers that praise them.

The Deportation Data Project (deportationdata.org) collects and posts public, anonymized U.S. government immigration enforcement datasets. I looked at the "Arrests" dataset this evening to try to count how many individuals have been arrested and deported from Pittsburgh specifically.

Kidnapping a boat full of foreign aid volunteers in international waters isn’t self defense, it’s maritime piracy. Israel has gone full hostage taking pirate in their mission to starve Palestine.

Dearest Pittsburgh, please consider stepping up with me to be there for WQED. This isn’t an ad. I have no relationship with them. They didn’t ask me to ask you. I simply refuse to let Mister Rogers’ TV home fade away, especially not due to a funding cut ❤️

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

This isn't talked about in the media enough. They talk about lower ridership, but there was literally a massive drop in state funding for transit. SEPTA and other agencies warned about this issue long before 2022...but here we are, in this entirely predictable and avoidable crisis.

It’s already started. Dems, we know this is shitty. If you are running, what are running on? If you get the majority, what’s the plan? Don’t run on their shitty policies. Run on big, bold, transformative, progressive ideas. Moderation is a waste of time.
