police taking selfies with them aren't "bad apples". the root policing as an institution is white supremacy.
fascists violently storming the capitol with guns, nazi flags, and confederate flags are fruit of the same tree as police taking selfies with them

Only 5 months ago, a white supremacist walked through the front doors of Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue and murdered 11 people.
White supremacists are terrorists: an active threat to our communities.

Our Socialist Feminist Committee is outside TWO fake clinics today to call them out as anti-choice, and provide people with resources to real reproductive healthcare facilities.
People deserve the facts — and the healthcare they need, when they need it.

Pennsylvania has over a 1000 bridges classified as structurally deficient. Over six years, $4.2 billion that could have helped fix those bridges has instead gone to State Police.
We need safe transport, not murderous police.

For hours, Pittsburgh police broke comrades’ bones with cavalry charges, tear gassed someone who’s pregnant, gassed medics trying to help people shot by rubber bullets, trapped protesters with military-grade equipment and threatened lethal force against still peaceful protesters*
For 2+ hours thousands of Pittsburghers Marched against Injustice, for building a better city, for the critical changes necessary to change our country. Then.. their March for Justice was hijacked by a group of 100+ Anarchists - focused only on violence.

✔️ You can address the issues with our justice and carceral system, and win.
