WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?

My local coffee shop is not playing around.

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

Hold up! Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that he created and none of them have law enforcement powers under title 10.

The MAINSTREAM PRESS is FAILING AMERICA failing – and people are understandably upset The media is still pursuing the appearance of fairness by treating true and false, normal and outrageous, as equally valid #MOG8 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

True story bro.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

So much this…

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

As @stephaniekelton.bsky.social reminds us— “we’re broke” lie has gone on for decades.👇🏽Time Mag cover from 1972 (!!) We are not broke. “Deficit” spending is how we fund our economy. There is always money for wars, tax cuts for the rich See through it.🇺🇸 stephaniekelton.substack.com/p/the-defici...

I think we’ve found the source of the violence

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Here's a baby otter to start your week.

They haven't been violent protests. They've been protests attacked violently by the state. It's very straightforward

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

1/4 As someone who has published a lot of scholarship on state failure, I want to be very clear about the current situation. This regime is a few weeks maybe a couple of months away from destroying our democracy. It has surrendered the economy to oligarchs, uses its office for personal gain…

Exactly. #Truth

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

I have a bunch of crows that follow me on my walks now, and suddenly a bunch of them landed close and started cawing nonstop furiously. I thought I'd pissed them off somehow -- when a coyote rounded the corner. Trotted past me on the opposite side, side-eyed me, and kept going.

If Mr. Moran worked for me, I would have had a private conversation with him about crossing a line into too much subjectivity—I would not have suspended him. I suspect if he had said the same exact words on air, nothing would have happened. Journalists have free speech rights too.

Whoops a daisy old man

The bird dance for the ages

TONIGHT AT SILENT BOOK CLUB I MET THE WOMAN RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDERING THE BOOKS FOR MY LOCAL LIBRARY SYSTEM. SHE SAID: You wrote me a letter a few years ago. I still have it on my wall. AND MY BRAIN SHORT CIRCUITED.

“It’s insane that it’s happening in America,” Bil Schmidknecht said. “It’s not broken. It’s designed to work this way. It’s just hurting us.”

once again I must tap my own sign

I still say this was the day it started.

Uh oh 👀 #NursingLife

Helping someone else only takes a few seconds.

Not exactly sure how my camera caught this image. It almost appears as if the bumblebee is hovering over the Baptisia like a helicopter. #Photography #Prairie

No more weather reporting? Is that where we’re at now? 👇👇👇👇👇

This is the best day ever to be in a group chat with people who aren’t online. They react to every piece of breaking news about the beef like you’re Paul Revere.
