The @MLKLabor union federation just voted to kick out the Seattle Police Officers Guild! This is the beginning of organized labor unshackling itself from an alliance with oppressors so that it can be free to stand in solidarity with all working people. #blacklivematter #spogout

watch this and ask yourself: are the protestors rioting, or are the police rioting?

Here is the full clip of the random attack Seattle police made on protestors. So much mace was used my eyes are still burning. I asked the officer what provoked their attack and they responded by telling me to shutup unless I could prove I was legal council. #seattleprotests

Today over 200 of us shut down I-5 north for a ceasefire and a free Palestine! We were supported by hundreds more on the overpass bridges. Our numbers were so vast that no one was arrested. We keep each other safe!

There are many overhead videos of the same sort of thing where you can see on all sides that there is zero provocation. I retweeted one of them last night. But you strike me as someone who's starting with a conclusion and work backwards from there. Evidence be damned.

You can't be violent against a building. Violence is something that's about hurting people. What a sick society we live in that treats people like property and values property over human lives.

People are quitting their pointless jobs in droves. Has there ever been a better time for a Green New Deal fueled by well-paid unionized jobs?

As far as I hear it said, "riot" is always weaponized to say dangerously violent for the sake of it, which is why the police deemed the protest was a "riot". But words aside, I agree with the broader point you're making and I like the word u used "rebel". This is a rebellion.

To those asking why here: it's US 💣💸. Our protest was directed at @PattyMurray @MariaCantwell @POTUS @RepAdamSmith We need our tax money for homes & education, not for wars of occupation. This proud Jew sends love to all you haters. Never again for anyone.✌️

My biggest takeaway from the DSA convention: When I went in 2019, I tried to ask delegates about their local organizing & many had nothing to say. In 2023, everyone told me about their local fights. DSA delegates have become a national network of organizers. That's growth. 🌹

When the white house calls your socialist organization shameful, you know you're onto something. Join DSA and help build the antiwar movement.

This was captured by a reporter and his camera. It's not a 360 camera. That's not how phone cameras work. Go ask the police for their body cameras. And if they refuse, or only give you some, or say that they were turned off, make sure to ask them why while you're at it.
