I don’t understand how anyone thinks fucking with LA is a plan. LA is looking at ICE as just one more unnatural disaster they will navigate around or through as fucking necessary Places where outsiders don’t think there’s community (e.g. LA and NYC) have extremely strong community when shit happens

These morons still think the Insurrection Act is a magic "Pow! We win!" button. This is not going to turn out the way they expect it to.

a thing ICE agents should try to keep firmly in mind is that eventually everyone is going to know who is under the masks, and that’s going to be the first line in their obituaries

I think Miller thinks he can "win" Portland 2020 today in Los Angeles and break the back of opposition against the administration and he's completely fucking wrong

This is what Nemik was talking about. Authority - especially tyrannical authority - is so, so, so brittle.

they’re having this hard a time with a small handful of raids they didn’t publicize beforehand if they want to roll in here in force they’re quickly going to find they don’t have enough of it, and the worse this gets the more of the city they’ll activate

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.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

They think they're taking on the cartoon version of California that lives rent free in their heads, not the actual Los Angeles as it exists in the real world.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/

With the recent success of Andor, I'm getting more questions than usual about how to land a job writing Star Wars books, so let's do the yearly How to Write IP thread, shall we? Firstly, IP means Intellectual Property-- that's shows, movies, plays, even books, any world owned by someone else. 1/

Girl child's undergrad alma mater is in the Boston Globe today for not-good reasons. ☹️ The Trump administration is targeting academia at the exact same moment the demographic cliff is arriving.

Anecdata, but based on the award availability I'm seeing, Americans are not traveling to Europe this summer in nearly the volume the airlines originally expected.
