Going through photos taken three years ago in May 2022, travelling the Northeast Corridor on #Amtrak 🇺🇸 from D.C to New York and standing at the rear vestibule of the Northeast Regional train. Taking a closer look today, I realise that I, incidentally, photographed two “New #Acela” Avelia Liberty units at #Philadelphia’s 30th street station yard.
Hope to travel on one such train soon, this summer.

On Tuesday, Larry Krasner easily won the Democratic primary ahead of a November election that could see him win a third term as district attorney of Philadelphia. bolts@journa.host’s @taniel writes about Krasner’s role as one of a number of progressive prosecutors across the United States, the opposition he faced from everyone from Elon Musk to the city’s Democratic Party, and why he continues to be supported across Philadelphia.

@bolts is the best magazine for keeping your eye on America’s local politics, and possibly detecting if a shift is happening (were we the only ones glued to the Omaha, NE mayoral elections earlier this week)? Alex Burness writes about judge elections in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where a “slate of eight” progressive-endorsed candidates are running. Their supporters hope that the prospective judges, who come from public defender, social work and civil rights backgrounds, will have more understanding of the issues faced by criminal defendants. Check out the second list for @taniel’s list of elections to watch in May.

Today in Labor History May 13, 1985: The city of Philadelphia bombed the house of the radical black activist group MOVE. The police dropped a bomb made with C-4 explosives from a helicopter over the African American residential neighborhood. When survivors tried to flee, the cops shot at them. As a result, eleven MOVE members died, including five children. Furthermore, the bomb and fires destroyed sixty-two others homes in the neighborhood. Consequently, 250 Philadelphians became homeless. Adding insult to injury, the bones of some of the victims were transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where professors used them to teach courses on forensic evidence.

MOVE was a black liberation environmental movement. Many surviving MOVE members were still in prison as late as 2020. Mumia Abu Jamal, who was an associate of MOVE, is still in prison on trumped up charges of killing a cop. He is currently severely ill with diabetes and heart disease. The government has bombed civilians from the air several other times in history. The first was during the Tulsa anti-black pogrom of 1921. They also aerially bombed striking Appalachian miners that same year.

Photograph from Bettmann / Getty [newyorker.com [http://newyorker.com]] — On this day in 1985, Philadelphia police bombed a home occupied by the black liberation group MOVE and let the fire burn out of control - “let the fire burn” - killing five children and six adults, and destroying 65 homes. No charges were filed. The standoff with MOVE, a black liberation organization, was initiated by the police in an attempt to serve an eviction notice. Eleven people, including five children, died in the fire. Eyewitnesses claimed that the victims were prevented from fleeing the fire by police gunfire upon escape. Police Commissioner Sambor infamously ordered the fire department to “let the fire burn”, destroying 65 nearby homes comprising two city blocks. Although an investigation found that the law enforcement and fire department actions were negligent, no criminal charges were filed. In October 2013, a documentary about the stand-off and bombing titled “Let the Fire Burn” was released by Zeitgeist Films. — - Date: 1985-05-13 - Learn More: www.theguardian.com [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/10/move-1985-bombing-reconciliation-philadelphia], en.wikipedia.org [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing], picturingblackhistory.org [https://picturingblackhistory.org/bombing-move/], www.zinnedproject.org [https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/move-bombing/]. - Tags: #Terrorism. - Source: www.apeoplescalendar.org [https://www.apeoplescalendar.org/calendar/events/move-bombing-1985]

The suspended #TempleUniversity student accused of requesting a “F— the Jews” sign at a #Philadelphia sports bar is now telling his side of the story — to a #Holocaust denier — and trying to crowdfund money for legal and other needs.

Mohammad “Mo” Khan, 21, said he only posted a video of the sign and had nothing to do with ordering it. He said he is being vilified by #DavePortnoy, the Jewish owner of Barstool Sports, who said Khan and a friend admitted responsibility for the sign. Khan also called the sign “an edgy joke” and accused #Israel of genocide. “I am the victim,” he said on social media.

Khan also made his case on the podcast of Stew Peters, a far-right media personality and outspoken Holocaust denier with a large online following, where the two discussed fighting “#Jewish supremacy.” Peters made news recently for calling for a “final solution” to deport #Jews from the U.S.

Sharing an excellent op-ed in today’s #Philadelphia #Inquirer, about #Pennsylvania law enforcement’s inability to — unbelievably — figure out how charge the arsonist who tried to burn down the PA governor’s residence with #JoshShapiro and his family inside ON #PASSOVER.
