One of the ways the FBI works to flout public records laws is to “accidentally” introduce little typos and misspellings into people’s FOIA requests. This will cause a delay of many months, may not be caught by the requester at all, and looks like an innocent error.

Not that anyone’s keeping track anymore, but impersonating aid workers for the purposes of conducting a military operation is a war crime.

June 2020: St. Louis couple threatens Black Lives Matter protesters. June 2021: Guilty of assault. August 2021: Republican governor Mike Parson pardons them. They speak at Republican National Convention. June 2024: Republican judge expunges records. apnews.com/article/mark-m…

If someone w/ felony convictions can run for president, wouldn’t it make sense that they could get ordinary jobs, like bartending or pest extermination? Sadly, our current system does not think so It’s time to stop employment discrimination against people with criminal records

Police in the U.S. have killed more people so far this year than they did up to this point in 2023, which set the previous nationwide record for deadly police violence. Police violence continues to increase, year after year. mappingpoliceviolence.us

I was a public defender for years. Whether you call it solitary, “protective custody,” or the box: my clients were experiencing torture. I watched as it broke them down. This torture didn’t improve safety — it guaranteed trauma.

Yall please RT any and all posts you see of Frederick Richard. Even though Frederick scored the highest score for team USA, major news outlets are trying to erase him by saying that some other gymnast who only did one event led the team to win a medal.

"No one ever asked how she came to be pregnant inside a women’s-only jail." Incredible investigation by Jessy Edwards @gothamist into a correction officer at Rikers who used a pseudonym as he allegedly sexually assaulted at least 24 detainees for years. gothamist.com/news/he-was-of…

I think everyone who scoffs at Uncommitted National Movement 🌺 delegates for trying to engage the Dems at all should hear this from Georgia State Rep. Rep. Ruwa Romman, our sole Palestinian legislator, speaking at the sit-in after DNC’s refusal to allow a Palestinian on the main stage.

this speech does not mention the word Israel once, it is very mild- but it does call the massacres in Gaza exactly that - massacres. and it does reference the speakers Palestinian heritage. and those two things are too much for the DNC

Thank goodness the DNC is keeping this inflammatory and damaging rhetoric off the convention floor.
