If organizers in Atlanta can face RICO charges over taking care of one another, while a supreme court justice can take bribes to reverse his rulings…
…I simply don’t know what further evidence people need to conclude that this entire U.S. system is illegitimate.

111 years wasted when we could have acted to avoid climate collapse but instead fossil fuel companies lied and fueled the problem and our politicians repeatedly failed to do what is needed.
We still have a window to avert disaster but it gets shorter by the day. #ActOnClimate

Instead of helping after a hurricane, San Diego police are using their time clearing out and pushing unhoused people away from closed library overhangs.
Michael McConnell@HomelessnessSD
If you're closed, why are police pushing people out into the rain from under your overhang outside the building?

Kurt Vonnegut once claimed future generations would look on TV as the lead in the water pipes that slowly drove the Romans mad. I see his point, but it turns out we just had actual lead in the actual water pipes the entire time.

This is why they don’t want you discussing your wages
Liz Shuler@LizShuler
Talk about your salary. Question mistreatment in the workplace. Know you deserve dignity and respect on the job and have the power to organize your coworkers. All union drives begin with a conversation!

Reminder that wage theft is the single biggest source of theft in this country, far outpacing all robbery put together.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Fast food corporations and trade groups have spent $4 million lobbying against a California bill that would hold corporations responsible when franchise owners break the law. Some of these companies, unsurprisingly, have a history of wage theft. Thread. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat.
99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.

FYI, since Limits to Growth was published in 1972 we’ve been following these lines scarily closely.
Look what’s about to happen to population & food in this ‘business as usual’ scenario…

When the world burns, the gap between where we are and where we need to be appears unbridgeable...
And, yet, it is in these very moments we must recognize how far we have come and how quickly.

Cop City will never be built, and the Atlanta Police Foundation will go bankrupt. All public officials with ties to the project will be investigated for corruption. If Cadence Bank approves this loan, they'll never get the money back.
Tell them this loan is a terrible idea
RAM INC@resist_abolish
Updated! You can also email the CEO, and the President of Cadence Bank and tell them not to sign off on the $20 million cop city loan! james.rollins@cadencebank.com & chris.bagley@cadencebank.com #StopCopCity

Atlanta Police LITERALLY surveilling a referendum petition drive— what isn’t clicking for folks? This is chilling af.
Cops are not the caretakers of democracy they are the hired hunters of capital. WAKE TF UP and stop buying into all the copaganda.

A Black prosecutor was elected in Georgia, upsetting a conservative, pro-police candidate
A day later, a state lawmaker proposed the whitest county in the district separate itself, creating a new judicial circuit in GA for the 1st time in nearly 40 yrs
