"The government’s initial account of the Alex Pretti shooting in Minneapolis makes several specific claims that video evidence calls into question. These claims have continued, and hardened, even as the video evidence has been reviewed and is there for all to see—and refutes the government story."

i keep writing you a letter #SenseWrds #‪Prompt 118 @sensewords.bsky.social #Fractured #Correspondence #Undone #poetry #poem #writing #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets
i keep writing you a letter
about a stone in my throat,
about triangles—
the way mistakes
keep repeating in me.

but letters break apart.

sometimes it begins:
i am one useless excuse
for a human being.

sometimes it starts
with a recipe for cake
without eggs,
and a few lines
from a favorite story—
instructions for vanishing
inside my own life.

the words feel
like glass in the envelope.
i unfold them
to try again.

Every Democratic state that can do this, should do this. Then, when we control the levels of power in DC, we ban gerrymandering for the entire country. Once and for all. Everyone playing by the same rules.

🚨 Sources close to the DC mayor and police say, Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. tomorrow/Monday. • For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there. • Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles. This is what cities under siege look like.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "A rightwing blogger, who has credentials at the WH, came to an area where some of the legislators are staying and started reporting online about it. He then put up a map and put a pin on the map and said, 'This is where these Texas legislators are.' So that started this."

The UK parliament banned trans people visiting the parliament building from using the bathroom. However, because they're trying to unlawfully rewrite the Equality Act, they still allow trans employees to use the right bathroom. What absurdity. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
It is understood that there has been no change to the policy for staff who work on the estate, meaning that trans women employed by parliament would be able to use the women’s loos.

Parliamentary staff have also been given new guidance on how to direct visitors to the toilets, The Independent understands. If an individual asks where the nearest toilet is, a Commons spokesperson said staff will be told to “signpost visitors to all available toilets, making it clear that a range of facilities are available.”
