I agree. Time to pull the plug on Cop City.
BREAKING: Georgia's top newspaper just posted a stunning expose of the many official lies about the burgeoning cost of the "Cop City" police center. The official narrative is officially collapsing.
Time to pull the plug.

Great to see the people of Atlanta - and others - standing up in resistance to Cop City.
BREAKING: absolute *chaos* ensuing in Atlanta, as the city council decides whether to replace a historic forest with “Cop City.”
Revolution is in the air. Windows are shaking. Politicians are quaking. The whole world is watching.

We worked so hard to get more women in office, thinking they would give more attention to things like the welfare of our children. Heartbreaking to see two women governors, Arkansas @GovSHuckabee and Iowa @IAGovernor, now leading the charge in gutting child labor laws. desmoinesregister.com/story/…

Hint: where there are the most train derailments and the most toxic water.
The EPA allows polluters to turn neighborhoods into “sacrifice zones” where residents breathe carcinogens. ProPublica reveals where these places are in a first-of-its-kind map and data analysis. propublica.org/article/toxma…

Several weeks ago I went to East Palestine and heard many stories like the one in this article.
Their safety sacrificed by Norfolk Southern, abandoned by state and federal governments, unable to absorb either the emotional or political or economic losses, good people are simply left to do the best they can to carry on with their lives.
The level of this tragedy is exceeded only by the level of our failure to respond. unionprogress.com/2023/05/30…

Equal protection before the law is a principle upon which all of us must agree to agree.

What's going on here?
In America, if a citizen wants to say "This is why we don't like cops here," they get to say that. Cops don't then get to attack them for daring to say it.
Police should be present at Gay Pride to protect the gay population from dangerous prejudice. They're not there to be an expression of it themselves.

Are you seriously thinking that all the things I mentioned are things that he tried to do but Congress just wouldn’t let him?

Serious about 1 in 4 Americans in medical debt. Serious about 1/3 of America's workforce working for less than $15/hr and unable to afford a place to live. Serious about the dangers of ramping up fossil fuel extraction when we need to be ramping it down. Serious about the highest poverty rate here than any other advanced democracy. Serious about the obscenely bloated defense budget. Serious about the carcinogens in our food, water and air. Serious about corporate tyranny. Serious about people rationing their insulin. Serious about our urgent need to replace all the unserious people you probably consider serious.
