Exactly this. Go to TikTok. Look at the lives. It’s 400 people OUTSIDE LA, standing outside an ICE facility and they are making the ruling class shake. This is a sign of weakness on the part of the ruler: they are afraid and they can be stopped.

Let’s be very clear: Los Angeles is the perfect place for this to play out for the Trumpists. The Trumpists hate California and hate Los Angeles and a vast amount of their base feels the same — even the Trumpists here, who wallow in hating the place they live. /1

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

In care you forgot/missed it: LAPD blew up the 700 block of E 27th street on June 30, 2021. So far, the city has paid upwards of US$21M to the families they fucked over and displaced--as of July 2024, some families were still in hotels, at the city's expense (Someone enter it on Wikipedia, please)

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

Was just thinking of writing something about why panic over transgender athletes serves as the perfect on-ramp to racism, namely because a discussion about "inherent advantages" fuses dominant beliefs about biology, essentialism, and merit

“Why are these police dressed like they’re going into combat” Cause we gave them the clothes and the gear. There was a very public discussion about it.

This is how the right controls the messaging on literally everything, bit and small, national and local, and its high time for progressive voices to learn that lesson and start ysing the tactic themselves. This is why I say COMPLAIN TO EDITORS AND POLITICIANS, never hesitate to reach out and scream

"Queer revolution not mere inclusion" and then the "revolution" is writing essays about how "marriage is violence" and we shouldn't have marriage equality because it's neoliberal and distracts from the fight for universal healthcare. (None of this is an exaggeration, I've read these essays)

The raids aren't sustainable in their current form. The goal is to escalate to a form in which they can maintain crowd control with minimum numbers. We're looking at a future with ICE/affiliates using live fire.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

My obligatory “Murder, She Wrote” comment is that, at least half the time, Jessica Fletcher is compelled to figure whodunit because some idiot detective or sheriff is getting it all wrong We’ve talked about this before: This was standard even on “Perry Mason,” a stalwart from the 50s-60s!

Hi! It's the 7th day of Pride and I've set a goal of reaching 800 paid subs on my Patreon before the end of the month. This would allow me to cover my rent, health insurance and car expenses from just my Patreon alone As of this morning I have 750 paid subs! Help me continue to do my critical work

And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.
