The Justice Department has reached a deal with Boeing that will allow the airplane giant to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two of the planes crashed and killed 346 people, according to court papers filed Friday.
Reminder this shut the fuck up Friday:
"I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT"
is the only thing you should say to law enforcement besides asking if you're being detained and providing ID in a stop and ID state. Seriously.
The HHS Secretary doesn't think you should take his medical advice. I don't either.
It's still Free Palestine, from the river to the sea, today and every day until Palestine is free.
i want to live in the mind of the delusional people constantly arguing that democratic leadership is fighting as hard as they can against the right

More MAGA crimes: Dignity health RN Julie Christine Sanchez, attacked a 7 month pregnant street vendor and went on a racist tirade. She screamed "get out of my neighborhood", "you bring down my property values" and "speak English"
Attorney is calling for hate crime charges.
National security ain’t supposed to be a family affair, but apparently Pete Hegseth missed that memo.
Leaking classified military plans—TWICE—the second time on a personal Signal chat to friends and family? That man has no business being Defense Secretary. He’s a threat, not a leader.

Signs I made for today’s protest 🪧
A couple others I made were carried by other individuals, strangers in this case, so that was pretty cool.
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
In the Oval Office, Trump suggested deporting citizens with criminal records.
In the court of law, Trump is a rapist with 34 felony convictions.
I can't believe I used to support this man.
At a Sanders rally, some of his supporters unfurl a Free Palestine flag and cops come to arrest them.
The whole crowd erupts in boos for the cops! Huge pro-Palestinian solidarity moment!
What does Sanders do? He tries to shut the protestors down 🤮
Going to be careful about how I word this, for obvious reasons:
If anyone tries to take you, someone you know, or even just in front of you to a secondary location, DO NOT go. DO NOT let it happen.
You/they may not come back. This is always true, but especially now.
Mohsen Mahdawi, who has been a green-card holder for 10 years, was detained at an ICE field center in Vermont while appearing for a naturalization test — a key step on the path to U.S. citizenship. wapo.st/3Y36270
38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen. 39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions 40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs. 41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there. They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.
NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...
Funny how the SAVE Act won't prevent cis white men from voting but will disproportionately affect, you know, everyone else, especially women, immigrants, and trans people.
Almost like that's the whole fucking idea.
Who could’ve ever foresaw except all the people who did and got arrested for doing so
Cardboard sign with the progressive flag colors and white outlined black letters read “GAY RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS” with some paintbrushes and a palette to the right of the sign

Also fuck Strom Thurmond. Anything that removes him from a record book is good. I hope wherever he is in hell this hurts him.
It's trans day of visibility. The people most impacted by transphobia are racialized trans and nonbinary people.
If you're a racialized trans person, and you need mutual aid, drop your payment links below and I'll repost. And if you're cis and/or white and have extra, please donate. 💙
As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?
If more of us had cared about what happened to the people of Flint (when one person from a government took over and deprived them of basic human necessities) we’d be less surprised and more prepared for Musk.
If you don't leave a protest or rally with 10, 100, 1000 new contacts ready to take the same actions daily after the protest, what have you accomplished other than putting yourselves on their records? Than exposing thousands of people to arrest (and illness😷👀) without any practical gain?
We have to be willing to give up supporting any venue, corporation, etc that does this. It will be used for increasingly fucked up reasons and we need to say no en masse if we want it to stop.
Support what you love in other ways. You can give up concerts & games if they do this. I believe in you.

The entire extremely large 9th district that Republican Representative Lisa McClain represents
Attended a protest outside Republican Representative Lisa McClain’s office in Lake Orion today. We did not find her, but a group of 60-70 protesters found community today in a tiny town at the edge of giant District 9. ❤️
The Situation Room should not be a group chat.
We keep asking what people should do — people need to speak up.
Congress needs to demand answers. The guy who used to fire people on television needs to do that again and fire Pete Hegseth.
Kristi Noem is pretty much the definition of white trash.
