Let’s make our own patches - they can say The Other Others and be done in rainbow colors.

Y'know I dunno if I am going to be able to finish the new Hunger Games book.

If your news channel includes commentators who — citing no sources — talk about other people’s state of mind is if it was knowable fact, then you’re not watching the news. You’re watching fascist propaganda.

Am watching 50 to 1 with @anachronism.bsky.social who knows the guy it's about and says Skeet Ulrich doesn't have as nice an ass as the guy he's playing.

I was startled at how close to me one of my dove buddies got today. Just sitting there watching me and @anachronism.bsky.social . The curve-billed thrasher was hanging out too but not posing so obligingly. 🪶

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.

If you've got the time and the stomach, this is an absolutely virulent antisemite - she uses the k-word regularly & is currently posting fantasies about killing Canadian Jews. She's been around for a while, but if you can take a few minutes to report before blocking, TIA. bsky.app/profile/clue...

Between this and the lighting the Waymos on fire this might be the funniest day of protests I've ever seen Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

From Clatskanie, Oregon 🥹 proud of you Cole

congratulations assholes, you’ve bullied Gavin into getting off his right wing podcast circuit and back to pretending to care about his constituents again that’s a hell of a fuckup on your part

in so many videos out of LA i am seeing officers aiming rubber bullets right into crowds, this is filling me with a deep and anxious rage knowing what happens when they do that www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Meanwhile… Season ticket sales at the Kennedy Center are down 82% but they’re hitting up foreign donors and embassies to make up the difference. www.wsj.com/business/med...

The path to the end of Roe V. Wade was paved with abortion providers being killed, and clinics being bombed and set on fire.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

it’s so nice to see waymos being used correctly

Pasadena, CA: The AC Hotel has asked ICE to leave. Hosting ICE agents at your hotel is bad for business.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

Is anyone really that shocked to learn that NRA members didn’t really believe that “stand up to tyranny” stuff? And that the organization mainly exists to taunt victimized families and communities after mass shootings?

I do wonder how much of this is oddly personal. Miller grew up in Santa Monica. He was a contrarian High Schooler, who made creating controversy is persona. If he's going to make a big deal of ICE raids "LA" is the area he knows, and he's got something to prove.

Martial Law incoming, or at least about to be attempted. It was always about creating excuses to wrest more control away from anyone except The Worthy. The biggest hope against this is that regardless of the level of intimidation and violence, that the protests do not stop - for anything or anyone.

Fun trick! Ask any person who argues for "social norms" about where those "norms" come from, and why their "norms" are the "correct" ones? It's white supremacy every time

1% chance that the cops actually investigate this. You know why

Just the press

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

... is he, genuinely, quoting this, out in the fucking open? The original quote is "Maxim Gun." "We can do whatever we want to the people we're colonizing, and their revolts don't matter, because we have the technology to kill them."

who could have predicted that the president lying about their city and sending in the military with zero justification would outrage people enough to bring them out in numbers to protest

youtu.be/4NKogHoCzNU?... Not that I've been able to bring myself to reread the book it's about (DOOMSDAY BOOK by Connie Willis) since 2020...

don't ever forget these images of cops outnumbered, surrounded, buried by an ocean of angry bodies. i guarantee you, the cops will not forget

We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE

full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

He's riffing on a specific poem with a very ugly history related to European colonialism in Africa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_g...

Maxine Waters is 86 years old. I would love to know where Newsom is.

Elon Musk perfectly laying out the case against privatization in a single tweet

You ever see a meme that’s just So Dumb but you love it with all your heart and it brings joy throughout your day?

No wonder my "I will pee on your feet as a public service" sign at the beach didn't go over like I had hoped

A good counterargument to "you shouldn't do [xxx] because then the fascists and press will call it a riot!!" is you can literally not show up and the fascists, the press will still call it a riot

This bill would essentially codify ICE as the GOP's secret police www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...
