NEW: Activists in Georgia posted flyers naming one of the cops in Tortuguita’s killing. They were arrested, placed in solitary confinement and now face a felony and 20 years in prison. W/ @natashalennard theintercept.com/2023/05/02/…

liberals rarely say the quiet part out loud, which is that they believe homeless people should be either 1) in concentration camps, 2) in shitty substandard housing or 3) eradicated Ed gets close here!
I would urge anyone that thinks this is a wise proposal to head to #PDX #SEA #YVR #SFO #LAX etc. and spend a few days walking around their parks and then join the discussion. #BTVCC #vtpoli wcax.com/2023/05/01/councilo…

The irony of people who's job it is to send people to jail where they're regularly touched inappropriately and verbally harassed by DOC staff, complaining that their prosecutor boss is giving unwanted physical touches and making "off-color" comments sevendaysvt.com/vermont/fran…

Over the weekend three activists were arrested in Bartow County after flyering anti-Cop City messaging. They were charged with misdemeanor stalking and felony intimidation of a police officer. This morning, a Bartow County Magistrate Judge denied their bond.

good thing WCAX hasn't provided stenography for police, prosecutors, and DOC officials since forever, or else one could wonder why things have gotten so dire in Vermont prisons

So glad this guy, a former politician, landlord, and business owner, gets more air time to talk about the "working class". liberal nonsense
"What class are you?" It's a question that Vermont Public reporter Erica Heilman has been asking people for a series about class and cultural divides that we are airing all week. In this fourth installment, Erica speaks with former state legislator. vermontpublic.org/local-news…

Trying to understand why "Kate" would get anonymity when its just an interview, while people who are victims of state violence rarely get it
In this installment of Vermont Public's "What class are you" series, reporter Erica Heilman speaks with Kate, a 43-year-old who lives deep in the woods in Central Vermont, and, for some legal reasons, was granted anonymity. vermontpublic.org/local-news…

americans have such wild and wacky ideas about class and basically none of them are useful

One of the most pernicious, but common forms of propagada is the curation by media elites of which scientific studies are reported as "news" and which "experts" are selected to discuss their significance.
Pretty amazing framing in the NYT this morning: What having young workers been missing? Less surveillance and "less supervision." Really clearly laying out how the NYT is a paper for the managerial & owning class and NOT the working class. nytimes.com/2023/04/24/busin…

"Rome wasn't built in a day" yeah well that's probably bc their development review laws were unfriendly to adequate zoning reforms accounting for mixed-use multi unit development

nothing better than liberals who have never read marx talking about economic class as if there's no power or exploitation involved in ones class position
Erica Heilman recently asked people she encountered in the Northeast Kingdom, "what class are you?" Now, a second week-long installment of Erica's class series is coming next week. In the meantime, catch up on the first part here ⬇️ bit.ly/40rQCaD

it would be interesting if it was about how poor Vermonter's economic identity often does not align with their political identity but I'm not holding my breathe

From @VNewsUV: The three-building project proposed on Sykes Mountain Avenue is still in its conceptual phase. The apartments would include 40 studios, 169 one-bedroom and 31 two-bedroom units, ranging in size from 424 square feet to 1,050 square feet. vtdigger.org/2023/04/21/deve…

Cops will never arrest landlords or bosses but they will always harass homeless people trying to stay warm.
If I were the mayor for over a decade, I would be so embarrassed at what a colossal failure I am.
