    Environmental racism is means Flint has not had clean drinking water for SEVEN YEARS.
    7 Years. Flint, MI has been without clean water for 7 years. The effects of the water crisis will be felt for generations. And the worst part of it all... Flint is not the only city with toxic water. It is one of the hundreds of cities across the country with bad water.

    Laborer exploitation is not a justification to keep people caged and enslaved.
    Weird how this argument is used to keep prisons open, instead of as an indictment of our whole system.
    Headline from a z central: "Arizona communities would 'collapse' without cheap prison labor, Corrections director says"

    This and every Juneteenth our hearts remember Antwon Rose and how his life was stolen by police violence. We remember the bright, loving teenager who loved to create, skateboard, and volunteer. Forever in our hearts. Always on our minds. Long Live Antwon Rose. 💜💜💜💜
    I AM NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

I am confused and afraid
I wonder what path I will take
I hear that there’s only two ways out
I see mothers bury their sons
I want my mom to never feel that pain
I am confused and afraid
I pretend all is fine
I feel like I’m suffocating
I touch nothing so I believe all is fine
I worry that it isn’t, though
I cry no more
I am confused and afraid
I understand people believe I’m just a statistic
I say to them I’m different
I dream of life getting easier
I try my best to make my dream true
I hope that it does
I am confused and afraid

    As a convicted felon can run for the highest office in the country, all impacted people should also be able to run for office across the commonwealth. We need to end felony candidate disenfranchisement in Pennsylvania.

    The post gazette is on strike and Pittsburgh is a union town. Folks want local news but not at the expense of harm to workers.

    Attacking a commissioner behind this election makes no sense. Come November 6 we all still have to work together to make sure Pennsylvania is a place that is livable and safe for us all.
