I spent two months researching the history of work requirements and the harm they've perpetrated over the past couple centuries. I'm really proud of this work, so please give it a read! I think you'll learn some stuff you didn't know.

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

They’re literally editing out the news, not reporting it. As evidenced in the post you commented on.

Like…
This is where we’re at?????

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Here’s video of the incident

“Transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."

How many games is the Chiefs' resident incel podcaster/kicker going to have blow out of nowhere for them to realize he shouldn't be in the league anymore?

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

And wrapped up in all this is the cultural belief they’ve successfully laundered that all bodies should be adequately healthy to work until 65, when the reality is that a lot of bodies start to break down in their 30s and 40s.

ICE is a terrorist organization.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 5d

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Sorry I meant to post this 20 years ago.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

I don’t mind my name. It’s fine. But it’s a little unfair that some people get to enter the world being named things like Julian Casablancas.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

That was the strangest series of events ever, but they just voted to kill the ordinance 7-1.

Criminalization of homelessness is in front of the full commission tonight. A lot of folks here for public comment.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 16d

The Wyandotte County public safety committee just voted 5-0 to criminalize homelessness. On to the full commission.

This is bleak.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

Hill left like an hour ago and didn’t vote. Mayor now making motion to deny ordinance.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

Vote to send it back to committee just failed.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

Suspending the rules to go past midnight now. There are other items on the agenda, and we haven’t even touched any of those yet.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

So. Much. Grandstanding.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

Oh, earlier Burroughs said business leaders were here but chose not to speak in support of the ordinance for fear of violence and vandalism.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 5d

Now the fire chief is going through fires caused by unhoused people. I’d also love a list of fires and crimes caused by housed people.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 6d

Receiving some intel that commissioners and/or legal may have lied about who requested this ordinance. Sounds like some shady shit has gone down.

Dustin @hareandthere.bsky.social · 6d

Now they’re presenting the ordinance. “Camp” means “sleeping activities” 🤣
