If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Public safety is fewer desperate people. Public safety is less income inequality. Public safety is a world where parents don't have to steal diapers. Public safety is when we don't have to pay medical bills with GoFundMe campaigns.

You can't have nice things in a carceral state where all "public safety" conversations mean more cops. That's where we start. On top of that there is zero repercussion for overspending. Instead of accountability, my council person, Elizabeth Schaffer, regularly and excessively thanks them.

Funding for our parks and the very financial foundation of Minneapolis are jeopardized because police spending is out of control. To avoid a reduction in our credit rating and future park service reductions the Mayor and City Council must take action to rein in spending. Please read and share.

This is fantastic! Even better that it is NOT on substack. 🎉

One of the best things about being in a union is being able to work on Concerted Union Activity, like launching a newsroom. The Hennepin Herald, which will cover Hennepin County government, launches Sunday. hennepinherald.beehiiv.com

The reclassification changed what humans call it. It didn't change what it is. That's the lesson. Themes: exclusion, belonging, identity, the arbitrary nature of categories, persistence in the face of being redefined

The title insists on itself: I Am Undeniable. Not "I was a planet" or "I used to belong." The present tense is doing real work here. Whatever the IAU decided, Pluto is still out there, still orbiting, still composed of multitudes.

What makes this resonate beyond astronomy is how precisely it maps onto a feeling most people have had at some point — the experience of being redefined by external criteria you had no hand in setting. The job that restructures you out.

The community that shifts its standards after you've already built your life around meeting them. The category you thought you belonged to, until someone with the authority to draw lines decided otherwise.

I Am Undeniable (Pluto) gives Pluto a voice, and Pluto has things to say. The track speaks in first person — not in anger exactly, but in something more complicated and more honest than anger. I am multitudes of science and myth / but also isolated and friendless / I deserve better.

That last line lands quietly and stays. Not a demand. Not a tantrum. Just a clear-eyed statement from something that has been named, studied, celebrated, and then voted out of the category it had always occupied.

In 2006, the International Astronomical Union held a vote. Pluto was discovered in 1930, taught in classrooms for seventy-six years as the ninth planet, beloved in the way that small and distant things often are, it was reclassified.

"nobody wants to work anymore" was yet another confession...

Dem leaders: Impeachment is a waste of time that doesn't accomplish anything! GOP leaders: We must seal the House and flee the city to avoid the consequences of this looming impeachment vote

Another distraction when all we should be talking about is Jeffrey Epstein.

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social

Watching corporate media debate Trump's promise of $5000 a person the way Trump wants. In reality, Dems should simply be pointing out that the GOP controls the House & Senate today and ask Republicans: Why not pass it right now to show Americans it's real?! Put the GOP on defensive.

see, it’s not that hard

Ed Markey@edmarkey.bsky.social

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Today is the 597th best day to IMPEACH the president.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social

The president ordering USPS to illegally throw out millions of ballots is at least on par with what he tried to do for 2020, and in big ways it's worse. It's another attempted self-coup, trying to create a fake Congress. That he's even attempting it is already a deadly serious constitutional crisis.

Meme Wars what are they for? Let me repeat that refrain. Meme Wars - I must implore! Gonna take over your brain. Meme Wars are culture wars! Can't just scoff with disdain. The latest meme war is not like before. Ending democracy is the campaign.

Hakeem Jeffries is good friends with Cory Booker, who is good friends with Jared Kushner's father. Wonder why Jeffries voted to block impeachment twice last year? Wonder why Jeffries and Booker refuse to even mention the fact that the orange freak has committed 1000 impeachable offenses?

Patric Reynolds@patricjreynolds.bsky.social

Okay what the fuck was THIS all about? I don’t understand wanting to “work together” with a historically unpopular & toxic criminal enterprise. The only “meeting” Jeffries should be having with Kushner is to tell him that he’ll be subpoenaed when Democrats regain the house. bsky.app/profile/ther...

Hospitals are closing, people can't trust their food, children are dying of measles, but the carceral state has everything it needs, so we should all feel safe. 😜

Stop voting for the ruling class, I'm sick of them punishing people in the service of making a shittier society.

Heartland Signal@heartlandsignal.com

Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth claims paid family and medical leave for educators lowers student achievement. "...Maybe things are being spent in ways that is not directly educating our students."

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you. Hi! I'm almost trampled in a Ministry mosh pit at Lollapalooza. Saved by a man in flannel who pulled me up and got me out. Thank you, stranger! ♥️

The entire “woke” conversation is disingenuous… The foundational argument to what has now been co opted as “wokeness” is… what if people were treated with simple dignity

Nathan Goldwag@goldwagnathan.bsky.social

I enjoy making jokes about "Woke 2" as much as the next person, but I do think people should remember that "woke" wasn't an organization or movement, it's an incredibly vague term being used to summarize up the retrospective impression of the zeitgeist over several decades, it doesn't mean anything.
