I’ve come to view the general form of this argument less as a hypocrisy exposure and more as a note about how much more power Republicans and corporate media have to discipline Democrats.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

The first person arrested by the Marines is an Army veteran who was on his way to work at the Veterans Administration. It appears he was arrested for crossing a yellow line which the Marines did not realize was not designed to exclude federal employees from reporting to work.

this is like slowing down the zapruder film of racism so you can see exactly the point of impact

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

fellas is it gay to ingest liquids through a tube

lol

Conclave (2024)

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

This man defies parody

how america is to everybody

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

Compare and contrast!

Sam Rockwell sitting off camera in Thailand before Mike White asks if he wants to give a monologue #WhiteLotus

Mike White writes the most complex, most surprising, and most batshit crazy monologue in 3 seasons of #TheWhiteLotus and gets Oscar winner Sam Rockwell to deliver it who then ate like its his last meal. Amazing, a masterclass in acting that deserves the Emmy for Guest Performance.

I mean. We aren't allowed to talk about white supremacy, tho, so idk what yall want. Every single time Black people say something is racist or see some bullshit coming, we get told we're overreacting and now here we are 🤷🏾‍♀️

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Today, I sat down with my guest of honor for the President’s address to Congress, Dianne Lewis. We spoke about her life in Altadena & the devastating wildfires. It was deeply moving. Watch our full convo here: youtu.be/k6WXxP58Ras?...

My wise grandmother, in 2008, knew all this would happen if Obama won.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Roses are red Violets are blue

Truly don't know how anyone is shocked by what Elon/Trump are doing and that they're ignoring court orders. It was all in Project 2025. They said they'd do it. In interviews. On social media. In investigative reports. It was all right there.

Rick Caruso said his new rebuilding nonprofit would "bypass red tape, drive real solutions, and act with the urgency this moment demands" to prevent the "endless delays hurting people who need help now." Two days later the Grove sued the city of LA to stop an approved project right next door

This is the most disgraceful, racist, insulting piece of garbage posing as a lawsuit I have seen since reading Newman v Piggy Park.
