Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

New Buzzfeed "how many of these crimes have you committed?" quiz just dropped

Me: No kings! King In Yellow: (8 feet tall, lurching in corner of room) You talking about me? Me: Nah man, you’re cool

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

I can't be out at a protest today, but I'm listening to Cryptopsy's "Silence your tyrants" in solidarity

@aptshadow.bsky.social finished shroud. This is the first of the right? RIGHT? It better be.

My royal we is raising questions already answered by my royal we.

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Great piece from @tinavasquez.bsky.social that all the "oh no they're waving Mexican flags in LA" handwringers should read: ICE raids in Los Angeles are a declaration of war, and Angelenos are primed for battle prismreports.org/2025/06/09/l...

This is a pretty important point!

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Timely reminder that the treatment for chemical weapons like tear gas and pepper spray is: 1) remove from active contamination (get them out of the cloud of teargas, remove outer layers of clothing if possible) 2) flush eyes with ONLY clean water. Wash skin and hair with water and soap.

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.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

All those moments will be lost in time like

Anti-ICE protests continue to escalate in Los Angeles, as more residents take to the streets. photo via AP www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Everyone's talking about Schadenfreude and Leitmotif and all these other popular German loanwords, but I've got one I only learned recently that I want to introduce: Harmoniesucht. It literally translates to "addicted to harmony". It encompasses toxic positivity but also so much more.

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.
