Great timing, governor

guys will be like "these people are ruining america" and it'll be a picture of the coolest guys ever

Gonna try to be nuanced here and speak broadly: There are several reasons to be skeptical of driverless cars, but the biggest one is the fact that they need to record everything in order to function. And then police see them as an extension of the surveillance state and act accordingly

“cops aren’t trained to-“ “oh but police need resources” “if only law enforcement had-“ NAH. We did training and courses and body cams and consent decrees. For decades. And here we are. Policing is an institution devoid of worth and plagued through with rot.

all children deserve to eat!! please help Motaz if you can!

More and more Japanese people today don’t even know the word “Tame” (溜), but there’s no other way to describe this color. It’s a reddish-brown hue with a translucent quality, and it best captures the visual essence of urushi.

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

Putting up a hunt post: I'm after a playset of Italian Ice Age Swords to Plowshares! I had a set of them on the way from Europe, but apparently they sank to the bottom of the sea en route to me :(

Legitimately the funniest crash out ive seen in a long time

that's where you're wrong, they are NOT in fact "your" police.

Not even decades! The democrats embraced immigrant propaganda during last years election to try and court racist votes. OF COURSE low info voters would assume that immigration must be a problem.

"We can handle one 10,000-person protest, but ten 1000-person protests throughout the city will overwhelm us." -LAPD Chief Michel Moore in response to the 2020 uprising Decentralization is key. Elon Musk personally banned our Twitter account in 2022, but this post remains good advice today.

Hectoring a protest from the sidelines is a sucker’s game. Protests are designed to upset people. So if you’re upset, you’re not an ally, you’re a target. Mission accomplished!

If you’ve organized with me at all in the past, you know that my concern for my comrades led me to say “stay safe” too much and I got called a lib bc of it lol. “Take care” fits way better with my sentiments behind saying “stay safe,” and I’m totally going to use it going forward too

The thing about sending 500 marines in to LA is it isn't nearly enough troops to do fucking anything but it sure does definitively announce the end of the constitutional regime. The number of unforced errors they have managed to make in 140 days is astounding

yeah so like uh folks unwilling to leave this particular nazi bar really gotta figure out what theyre doin cuz this is what greets people at the door

GUY WHO, IF PRESSED, TURNS OUT IS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO YOUR CAUSE: are you sure *those* tactics help your cause

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

Destruction of corporate property may be illegal, but I would push back on anyone calling it violence. Who exactly is being harmed?

Birds of a feather. 🚮

I mean a) awesome but b) shit like this needs to be shared far and wide. Make it perfectly clear what the "violent protests" actually are. Good people protesting for others and the state enacting violence on them for it

Cole Escola makes queer history with Tony Awards win

You can do this too. Reshare to save a life.

Protests. Work.

remember when this got so close to causing a general strike that obama had to step in?

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

"Fuck ICE" Seen on a burnt out car during the ongoing anti-ICE revolt in LA

🚨 i am urgently looking for/accepting any leaks related to the currently unfolding situation in the US. more specifically data from ICE (DHS more broadly), LAPD, LASD and co or anything else that could shift the power of knowledge to the people if it got published. via signal at @nyancrimew.01

You keep saying “non-violent discipline” but it still FEELS like you’re saying “peaceful protest.” and I don’t see you out there getting your ass beat so maybe you should let people respond how they’re responding

Meanwhile Elon Musk’s dad is at an oligarch-hosted fascist conference in Moscow, hanging out with Alexandr Dugin and George Galloway…

Yeah, but then I remember all the racism and the imperial boomerang

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

the issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both

lmaoooooo hell yeah LA
