Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

I also want to point out that the anti-vax movement is heavily rooted in ableism and anti autistic rhetoric. It literally started from the fear that vaccines cause autism, which is complete bullshit that has no evidence to back it up.

Chauvin was, in fact, the cause of Floyd’s death. He used a technique that MPD and most other agencies have banned, specifically because it causes death. And the crime for which he was convicted is unintentional second-degree murder, which by definition does not require intent to kill.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

To the people saying “due process,” what steps have you taken towards ensuring rape victims get due process, particularly around the over 100,000 untested kits in the US? Have you petitioned for better funding? For no statutes of limitations so the backlogs don’t mean victims get no justice?
