My name is Rochelle Garza. As an attorney, I've fought Trump, Kavanaugh, and indicted Ken Paxton before - and won. Now, I'm running to be YOUR Texas Attorney General to hold those in power accountable to Texans. Of the people. By the people. For the people. ¡Uneté!

Nearly every cop’s personal car that left Hollywood LAPD station last night had *illegal tints*. I’d get handcuffed if I drove any of these cars.

when are all of the articles about labor shortages going to acknowledge that thousands upon thousands of our country’s most vulnerable workers died. they’re not sitting at home collecting unemployment. they are dead and gone because they worked unprotected.

sorted through willow's work on "red table talk" and her punk streak, avril lavigne's early career, and how it all comes together to make "grow" such a powerful song vulture.com/2021/07/song-rev…

anthony bourdain perfectly expressed how I felt about donald rumsfeld for what he did to iraq, and still feel about kissinger, cheney, bush, all that genocidal scum

Some context, the UK has ordered around 500mil vaccines (7 times more than it needs) and has donated zero. Cuba has already done more to help poorer nations than every so called civilised nation combined. That's the difference between communism and capitalism
The first of 12 million Cuban vaccines arrive in Venezuela. While US sanctions suffocate the people, the solidarity of the @ALBATCP is the future #Abdala

My kids ain't my legacy. They're their own individual people with hopes, dreams and plans of their own.

All I want for Prime Day is for Amazon to stop union busting, pay their taxes, treat their workers with dignity, and get their monopoly broken up.

Jenn is from the @MapboxUnion and, like every single one of those worker organizers, she is amazing ✊🏻💙
Jenn Chow, with @CWAUnion, shares emotional moment with @VP Harris: “Hearing that — as a 1st generation [college student], my mom’s a single parent — I made less than my coworkers because they’re white males and went to Stanford or Berkeley, it doesn’t make me less than them.”

We're thrilled to see @Mapbox workers unionize! Mapbox is an NYT vendor and it's amazing to see them join the wave of tech and digital worker unionization ✊ Welcome to the CWA family, @MapboxUnion!
Inspired by tech workers organizing to positively shape their workplaces, we are proud to stand with a majority of @Mapbox as the @MapboxUnion. We ask management @Mapbox to voluntarily recognize us—the majority of workers looking to build a better company together!

fuck anyone who played into the "hamas rockets" line, which as detailed in the thread below is pure propaganda bullshit xitter.cf/zei_squirrel/status/14…
bc we're in another cycle of "OMG HAMAS" and twitter blocked my previous post of this clip, I'm reposting it: norman finkelstein, son of holocaust survivors, exposes israeli propaganda about "hamas rockets" and says palestinians have both the moral and legal right to self-defense

My first ever story in the @nytimes is out today and it’s about Asian Americans learning self defense to fight racists and build confidence! Please read and share, especially with anyone who needs reminding that they absolutely can fight back 💪🏽nytimes.com/2021/06/09/well/…

also you can see how long the propagandist hacks have been pushing the "rockets" line to justify the genocidal israel apartheid regime's mass murder of palestinians. see the clips in this thread for a thorough destruction of that grotesque propaganda: xitter.cf/zei_squirrel/status/13…
norman finkelstein, son of holocaust survivors, exposes israeli propaganda about "hamas rockets" that the entire western media is repeating. not only are they symbolic, but palestinians have both the moral and legal right to defend themselves against the israeli apartheid state

some people may be wondering why I keep posting about the ongoing genocide against palestinians. read this harrowing account by harvard expert on gaza sara roy of her visit there, every word, carefully; and then ask yourself why others are silent about it
