‼️ Donald Trump and Andre Dickens have something in common: they both believe it’s OK to obstruct democracy when they don’t get their way.

There is mounting evidence that big oil companies colluded with OPEC in an attempt to artificially inflate energy prices.
Today I joined @NRDems for a roundtable discussion on how we can stop big oil companies from price gouging hard working Americans.

LA PORTE, Texas (AP) - Firefighters were battling a pipeline fire in suburban Houston that sparked grass fires and burned power poles on Monday, forcing people in the surrounding neighborhood to evacuate.
The fire began at 9:55 a.m. in La Porte, located about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Houston.
Video footage from KTRK showed a park near the fire had been damaged and firefighters pouring water on homes near the blaze.
Officials have ordered residents in the Brookglen neighborhood area near the fire to evacuate, Lee Woodward, a La Porte city spokesperson said in an email.
"Please avoid the area and follow law enforcement direction. Further details will be released as available," Woodward said.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

Again, I’m gonna keep pointing this out. More and more I grow resentful of crime data (eg theft stats broken down by race) because stuff like this isn’t included. Wage theft isn’t included. Crime committed by corporations does greater harm but it’s always sanitized.

Almost one year ago, Atlanta community leaders launched a petition process for a referendum on City Council's decision to lease land and transfer millions of public dollars to the Atlanta Police Foundation. Join our panel discussion on Aug 15 at 6pm bit.ly/ATLvoice 🧵

Biden out. Whoever contends for the candidacy should study the moves he's made recently, including the rent cap announcement. The cynical (and true) take is these commitments came from a place of desperation. Also true: good policy is good politics. Don't back down, push further.

The City of Atlanta just passed its largest budget in history. The police budget went up & at the last second, they added a random $250,000 donation to the Atlanta Police Foundation. All of this in the middle of a water crisis. This is how the Black mis-leadership class works

Mayor Andre Dickens attended a fundraiser Friday as Atlanta experienced a widespread water crisis.
As noted by @wykeishaforAPS, the fundraiser was for Dickens himself. Tickets cost between $250-$1800. All checks payable to “Andre for Atlanta.”

Echoing the sentiments - Yohannes Johnson, known to his friends as Knowledge, exemplifies the capacity inherent in all of us, including those convicted of causing serious harm, to change, grow, and become positive forces for good. May this pave the way for many others.
BREAKING: Gov. Hochul just granted clemency to 2 incarcerated people, including to Yohannes Johnson, a member of the RAPP family. She also granted 11 pardons. Huge shoutout to our friends @CUNYLaw and everyone else who made these clemency grants happen. Our statement:

These two Alito flags together are the story of the end of our country. One a totem against democracy itself, the other a vision for our theocratic future. The symbolism is haunting.
But it’s not too late. We must fight back.

HAPPENING NOW
Mayor Eric Adams
suggests migrants could fill NYC’s lifeguard shortage — because
‘they’re excellent swimmers’
Mizzoner dropped the comment after being asked during a City Hall briefing about lifeguard staffing at the city’s beaches and pools, which have increasingly had issues in recent years, ahead of Memorial Day.
Going off on a tangent, Adams indicated that Gotham’s lifeguard shortages could easily be fixed if migrant work visas were being expedited for those jobs that needed to be filled quickly.
