WHY THEY WANT CHESA BOUDIN RECALLED

By Joe Eskanazi
Mission Local

Boudin has the unenviable task of running against himself while
fending off a lavishly funded recall campaign, some $6 million to
date, with voters having no say in whom the mayor will unilaterally
appoint.

Days after at least 19 elementary school students and two teachers
were killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde,
Texas, students at schools around the country staged walkouts to
protest gun violence.

HOW STATES CAN AND SHOULD PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS AND ACCESS
[[link removed]]
By Elisabeth Smith
Ms.

Looking ahead, individual state laws will be paramount to securing
abortion rights and ensuring abortion access in the U.S. Many states
already have constitutional provisions or statutes that will ensure
abortion remains legal in those states regardless of the Supreme
Court’s decision. But the need is urgent for more protections at
the state level.

TOP GUN: AN AD FOR MILITARISM YOU PAY TO WATCH
[[link removed]]
By Tom Secker
Shadowproof

“Top Gun: Maverick” attempts to convince a new generation to sign
up while conveniently avoiding the likelihood that they’ll end up
stuck in a cargo container on a base in the desert murdering people by
remote control. The US military is likely hoping, as they did with
the original, that it will help restore the military’s image,
savaged by wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

END DEHUMANIZATION OF THE AUTISTIC
[[link removed]]
By Jodie Hare
Verso

Autism is not a disease. It is a neurotype that exists as the result
of natural biological variation. To put a real stop to the abhorrent
treatment so much of our community has faced, it is likely that a
shift to the social model of disability is required. 

DELIVERERS ORGANIZE

Village Voice

The delivery industry exploded during the pandemic, and Los
Deliveristas Unidos is stepping in to ensure that workers in this
growing industry understand the rules of the road necessary to keep
all New Yorkers, including themselves, safe. the workers themselves
are leading the charge, building a deliverista community and
sustaining a movement. 

GUNS, THE RIGHT AND DEMOCRATS’ PARALYSIS
[[link removed]]
By Miles Mogulescu
Common Dreams

It’s time for Democrats to summon some courage and say loud and
clear that the Heller decision adopted by a 5-4 Republican majority on
the Court was one of a string of politicized 5-4 decisions by
Republican Justices to advance the Republican agenda. The Supreme
Court’s decision found an individual Constitutional right to own a
gun separate from a militia.

GOP VOTE TAMPERING: A CASE STUDY
[[link removed]]
By Jose Pagliery
The Daily Beast

The Georgia Secretary of State claims it is investigating how a local
election supervisor gave a cadre of 2020 election truthers improper
access to an election computer system. But that investigation may
expose a far more sinister plot than previously suspected.

SQUEAKY CLEAN DEPP?
[[link removed]]
By Claire Lampen
New York Magazine

On social media, Depp fans made a game out of calling Heard a liar and
an inconsistent narrator. They argued that she didn’t bring credible
evidence to the table — a baffling claim considering the numerous
recordings, videos, texts, and photos that seemed to back up her
testimony.

A POLITICAL SHERIFF IN LA
[[link removed]]
By Sam Levin
The Guardian

Alex Villanueva won office with the support of progressive groups
after campaigning to bring about reform and accountability. But
during the last four years, he has baffled erstwhile supporters,
adopting a “tough on crime” approach, rejecting outside efforts to
address misconduct, spreading racist tropes about crime, and
becoming a favorite among some far-right pundits.
