THREAD. It's important for all people of good will to understand the Laken Riley Act before the Senate votes on it tomorrow. It’s unconstitutional. It’s horrific in every word and clause. But there is a deeper, more imminent violence lurking beneath its hate-filled text.

a ceasefire where israel just returns to pre-2023 ethnic cleansing isn't acceptable either. it is still abominably evil and the colony must be dismantled in our lifetime because it's shown that it will commit genocide whenever it feels sufficiently emboldened.

The Ohio Supreme Court has nullified the $650 million judgement that multiple counties won against Big Pharma over the opioid crisis. The court ruled that the state's product liability law prohibits counties from bringing public nuisance claims against pharma corporations.
