Journalists at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have been on strike for more than 1,000 days. In our new issue, @TadhgLarabee reports on the union’s battle and its connection to Steel City’s labor history. thebaffler.com/salvos/stop-th…
Powerful essay from Jamie Silvonek outlining the harms of putting children in cages - and the dire need for other approaches. A must read. #treatkidsaskids publicsource.org/youth-incarcer…
Let that sink in. I mean really sink in. Global military spending at £2,700,000,000,000. This is enough Money to fix world hunger 25 times over.
The President does not have the power to unilaterally declare war. Congressional authorization isn’t optional. When some profit both financially and politically from endless war, the rest of us pay the price. We can’t let them lie us into another conflict that will cost innocent…
This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution. I’m introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement. I invite all members of Congress to cosponsor this resolution.
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.
Children belong in their homes and communities, not warehoused in dangerous facilities that put them at risk.
Here’s the latest polling data on how Americans view federal funding: triblive.com/news/world/as-…
ICE agents function a lot like slave catchers. Their goal is to rob individuals of their freedom, using the color of law to justify their cruel tactics
🚨LAPD fired so-called less-lethal munitions at protesters walking away amid citywide ICE raids last night. In scenes that mirror a war zone, our @TinaDesireeBerg was fired at w/ pepper spray & tear gas as she reported. FULL VIDEO REPORT below
Wishing a blessed Eid al-Adha to our Muslim neighbors in PA-12 and across the country!
Im glad people around the country are becoming aware that Pittsburgh’s City Controller Rachel Heisler went on a 15 thousand dollar trip to Israel that was funded by AIPAC. She is not fit for her role, and refuses to separate her love for Israel from her job, and thats a problem.
Police have killed at least 500 people so far this year. mappingpoliceviolence.us
5 years after George Floyd, police are killing more people not less. The Mapping Police Violence organization tracked more than 1,000,000 cases of fatal and non-fatal force at policedata.org, the largest database of its kind in the U.S. Here’s what we found.🧵
Let's talk about it…
These were also thrown. Pointing to a white supremacist actor or group. This detail is being left out in a lot of the condemnations.
democrats feigning "concern" for their version of healthcare that leaves 100 million of us unable to afford healthcare, that leaves 10s of 1000s who couldn't afford to go to a dr when needed to die every year while telling us now is not the time when we demand healthcare...
There is absolutely nothing wrong or hateful with talking about how capitalism rewards the hoarding of wealth which has resulted in the mass expulsion of Black people from Pittsburgh’s city limits. newpittsburghcourier.com/2025/05/05/mir…
Donald Trump has proposed a 2026 budget. Over 75% is for law enforcement and the military. Via @stephensemler
We throw away 60 million tons of food each year and there are more than 16 empty dwelling places for every unhoused person in this country. Capitalism is predicated on the illusion of scarcity. Scarcity is a lie.
Fun fact, mayoral candidate Corey O’Connor is on the Allegheny County Jail oversight board and regularly leaves the meetings before public comment because he doesn’t care what the community has to say. I doubt he even knows our new wardens. Is that the type of mayor you want?
im just going to start making high pitched screeching sounds whenever i hear ppl use "market rate housing" and "affordable housing" interchangibly as if these two phrases mean the same god damned thing.
