BREAKING: #AlligatorAlcatraz is officially closed 🎉🎉🎉 We've reached a huge milestone in our fight against the mass detention center in the heart of the #Everglades: ICE announced it has removed all detainees from the cruelly named “Alligator Alcatraz,” and DeSantis confirmed it is closed.

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

From being built on toxic Superfund sites to dumping thousands of gallons of raw sewage into waterways, prisons are a daily environmental injustice ⚠️ Incarcerated folks & their communities can't get left behind in the fight for a cleaner planet

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Reminder: Crime in the U.S. is at its lowest since 1961.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

Excited to share that my book will be out this December! Prison abolitionists have long known that “tough on crime” politics inflict harm, cement inequalities, and disempower citizens. They also show us what alternative responses to harm, and egalitarian forms of democracy, could look like.

BREAKING: WE WON!!! 💥 💥 💥 Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment. Full ruling here:

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Happy Labor Day! Join your local @aaup.org chapter and pay your dues. No way through but together.

How are we not already calling him Scam Altman

You almost never see/hear/read a person-on-the-street quote in which that person is saying "Yeah, immigrants are great." If it hates it rates just like if it bleeds it leads, and we get a disproportionate number of right-wingers sharing their hate and disinformation about immigration from msm.

Local jails–mostly run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of ICE's rampant criminalization of immigration.

To illustrate the state of life in America right now: Several journalists who were bleeding and needed stitches because of assaults by LAPD drove around to urgent care facilities only to find them closed, then wavered on going to emergency rooms because of high costs of treatment there.

The Center + other groups warned government agencies in a legal filing today that they’re breaking the law by failing to protect the Big Cypress National Preserve from the increasingly destructive effects of the mass detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” More info: biodiv.us/4nO76a8

Unionize, unionize, unionize. Even if they pay you well. Even if they are elite. Unionize.

The Democratic Party’s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things I’ve seen in my life. Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. It’s unforgivable.

Centrists are arguing for only half as many tanks.

might have been a bad idea for D cities to send astronomical funds and weaponry to a violent armed gang that hates them.
