CALIFORNIA: Those scare ads for legislation limiting medical settlements that quote the LA Times are paid for by Uber because they want to limit how much they can be sued for when they hit you with their cars. calmatters.org/economy/2026...

I cannot believe it's been 11 years since Freddie Gray was killed by the cops. I wrote a quick post after Mosby indicted the 6 cops. www.usprisonculture.com/2015/05/01/s... - It still holds up. None were convicted.

In honor of both Freddie Gray and almost 10 years since we lost Prince: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMLI...

ICYMI: I wrote about the flood of Hermione/Draco fanfic that's turned into six-figure traditional publishing deals and the ongoing debate over separating art from artist, which IMO is not possible when the artist is using her proceeds to pursue her transphobic agenda.

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week. And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY. You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

NEW, FROM ME: The organizers with Community Solidarity Project, a local LA mutual aid group, organized from their main hub at Bernies Coffee Shop for years. Now, they've been asked to move, and are asking for the public's help. They've set up a online fundraiser and Goodbye Party tomorrow, April 19

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Infuriating that Roberts said the Court should rush in bc states and businesses would "suffer irreparable harm" and the EPA rule was "highly unlikely" to be legal Like I said at the @the14thcenter.bsky.social Symposium, no such concern existed for birthright citizenship! youtu.be/lIYOIrtWrzY?...

Everyone can do whatever, but since the season is nearly upon us: the Met Gala funds the Costume Institute, an invaluable resource in the area of textile history and preservation. It is almost entirely self-funded, largely through this event.

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. These dragon convertible bags can be worn as a backpack, crossbody bag, waist bag and can be hooked up to a wheelchair & other mobility aids!! They are high quality! Store: Bibipins.com

LA! These kitties’ human passed away, and they need a new home! Please help them find one! Spread the word!

3 white men in their 20s attempted to lynch 3 Black men for....fishing last Friday. The only reason it's an attempted murder charge is one of the Black men was armed and a better shot. It's not about the year someone was born, it's about the racism www.wcia.com/news/edgar-c...

Please help if you can. Gonna need 2k or so in the next 10 days or so.

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much. Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment. /1

By the way: Eric sent those cease & desists in response to being asked for comment on the CNN story. He had his lawyer TEXT cease & desists to the WOMEN SAYING HE RAPED THEM in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. They were not named! That’s the weirdest response to a request to comment that I’ve ever heard.

Please share as widely as possible. This is open to Palestinians anywhere in the world, published or not. Call for Palestinian fantasy, science fiction, and horror stories! Pro rate pay: soniasulaiman.com/thyme-travel...

Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.

Another classic Newsom move, cutting mobile crisis response teams to make up budget shortfalls. While running these through cop shops isn't ideal, they ARE designed to take crisis response out of police hands and into people actually trained in helpful responses. Crisis teams save lives.

My little boy losing his sight;the world is turning dark for him.He deserves to see the sun,not live in shadows.Your kindness is his only hope for treatment.Please,don't let his light go out.Every second is abattle.Help save his vision. Verified: @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1624...

Surviving the genocide was only the beginning. I am now a stranger in my own city, left without a home or a clear path forward. I am dedicated to rebuilding my life from zero. Your support, no matter how small, is the foundation I need to start over. Thank you all 🫂 chuffed.org/project/1389...

It's not punishment to say that someone with power who has abused that power doesn't get to get more power. That's a consequence. Some of you are truly ridiculous.

I'm going to point out that we spent a shit ton of taxpayer money on moderna and he's stealing it from us.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

If Swalwell made you or someone you know sign an NDA or settlement agreement, email [email protected] We have a lawyer for you. You will be anonymous. You are not the only one.

TW: In 1996, I learned about Juanita Thomas through the Michigan Women’s Justice and Clemency Project. On July 28, 1979, Juanita killed Willie Hammond as she escaped his physical and sexual attacks.

Sometimes a house just sucks! I'm Shirley Jackson and you're watching Hill House Haunters

I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.

LAPD is literally going to bankrupt the city due to their unrelenting violence. The mayor & city council will continue to increase LAPD’s $3.5 billion, sending the message that the police are free to keep attacking Angelenos, especially since the settlements don’t come out of the LAPD budget.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

It is not even possible for me to report on all the places Israel is bombing in South Lebanon because there's a new report every minute

IDF bombing Lebanon today harder than before the ceasefire.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

OK Senator but are you currently in DC or on your way back? Have Schumer or Jeffries called their conferences back to town immediately?

To do what, exactly? The House will be back on Tuesday. You, as in literally you as an individual member of the House all on your own, could force a privileged vote on impeachment (among a variety of other possible measures) and it would then get a vote no later than Thursday.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...
