While you're drinking your Sunday coffee, enjoy this long thread from Doug Landry on the advance planning failures of Trump's birthday party. threadreaderapp.com/thread/19340...

These injuries were not inflicted by ICE or federalized guardsmen or imaginary agitators. They were inflicted by LAPD and LASD, under the direction of a supposedly democratic mayor, against people who came out to protest peacefully against fascism and racist kidnappings of our neighbors.

An oldie but a goodie.

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

Cops shooting a woman at point-blank range for trying to get to her apartment Very protect. Much serve. Cops are great

RIP to another great. So long and thanks for all the harmonies

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

the decision to "be safe" is no longer yours to make. the state has decided to make us unsafe. but you can make informed choices, take calculated risks, and you can decide to be powerful.

🏆 I love LA.

““It’s important to be connected to this culture because this was here before the public was here,” Massey said. “Probably three-quarters of Mississippi was Choctaw land, and now we only have 350,000 acres.””

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

Netanyahu admits Israel is arming gangs and clan members in Gaza to counter Hamas's influence, and new evidence shows Israel is using them to loot aid and implement its displacement plan. In response, the Hamas government set up the “Arrow Unit.” mondoweiss.net/2025/06/insi... #Palestine #Israel

The Gestapo are now arresting labor union leaders opposing them.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Can't believe it's been a whole year since I made this. Thank you to everyone who's shared what it means to them seeing Pride represented with images from near and far, all across the universe. The original page was taken down, but can still be found on archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20250129...

Sotally.

Seems to me that allowing law enforcement officers to wear masks covering their faces….encourages an environment where law enforcement officers aren’t as concerned about being caught on camera doing something illegal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Given how much real world pain he's inflicted, it's insane that he managed to get a round of press coverage mostly focusing on not saving as much money as he promised and positioning his return to Tesla as some sort of chance at Wall Street purification.

Don't just be outraged at these ICE kidnapping videos. Study every video carefully. Learn their tactics. Learn to recognize their vehicles, study their numbers, how they squad up, how they interact with crowds. Their kit. Notice where their spotters set up too. They'll be coming for us too.

This is an amazing article abt an amazing breakthrough use of an old and discredited drug and about how one company was able to raise the price without limit because it was the only treatment for a fatal disease and they cld basically raise it to as high a price as they wanted.

solidarity forever goddammit

the stupidest fucking people on Earth are in charge of our government and they're burning down centuries of progress in a matter of months. WHO RUNS THE RADAR, TIM? FUCKING RADARMAN?

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Moral injury. Beyond words:

if you can read this whole news article and still believe that LLMs “understand” things then you too could win a nobel prize in physics www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from VZV- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against dementia and REDUCE the risk of cardiovascular disease! 🧪🧵⬇️

Just leaving this map here: its a police state. What the times is downplaying here is the implementation of a fascist police state

RAINN, the largest organization devoted to survivors of sexual abuse, has eliminated all resources for LGBTQ, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. They're failing their core purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/w...

something very bad is going to happen at one of the nations airports n the near future and it will 100 percent be on the heads of the republicans. America is being gutted like a fish and sold off for parts out in the open.

For the whole of 2025, Orbán's party has consistently polled behind the opposition — something that never happened since 2014 It's not surprising that he's escalating his attacks on democracy www.politico.eu/europe-poll-...

THE LAST TIME QATAR SENT THE US PLANES!

Destroying AI must take many forms and involve creative thinking. fortunately, as Andreas Malm has pointed out, the enemy provides so many good targets in our communities.
