BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

I know the idea that ICE and BP will be prosecuted en mass is comforting but it absolutely isn’t going to happen. If you actually care about this issue you should be more serious about it.

Thinking about when Willie Wilson said police “should be able to chase them [anyone who runs from police] down, and hunt them down like a rabbit,” and Paul Vallas wanted to “take the handcuffs off police.”
Everyone’s getting to see what that looks like in practice now & they don’t seem to like it.

This is the most comprehensive reporting released on the DHS-alleged shooting so far. Read the entire story (reminder: reporters don't usually choose headlines).
For folks asking if it's true an ICE agent was shot: no, that is a verifiably false rumor. No injuries. A lot else remains in question.

The way the "free speech zones" at Broadview were put up, have been policed, and continually keep shrinking is a microcosm of what's happening to free speech in America as a country.
the current scene.
state/local police have shut down one of the “free speech” zones and are requiring all protesters to stand on the east side of beach.
the street is entirely closed to traffic yet cops arrest anyone who stands on the concrete barriers or steps into the street.
