Billionaires are consolidating around Cuomo because they know he will preserve the broken status quo. New Yorkers are rallying behind our campaign because they're ready for change. In two weeks, we will shock the political establishment and win a city we can all afford.

Quite the lede 👀 "There's little left for us to say that can further embarrass the Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that was supposed to be the culmination of Elon Musk's genius." 💀 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall futurism.com/cybertruck-s...

With the BET Awards happening in downtown LA, I was wondering who was going to say something first. Doechii really is that girl.

Do you want to know how we got to the point where ICE is abducting people off the streets and cities are about to be flooded with military personnel? Liberals were perfectly fine with this last year. What we're seeing now is the logical extension of what they supported.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

Note: the author of the article, Daniel Pipes, runs an org, ‘the Middle East Forum’, to launder anti-Muslim propaganda, which has, for example, materially supported Tommy Robinson (a UK far-right anti-Muslim extremist) and extremist politician Geert Wilders. Pipes doesn’t give a shit about Jews!

Add “zombie fires” to the list of things that sound like they should be concepts for late-night horror movies, but are in fact real-world consequences of climate change. on.ft.com/3FPpCO4

Kidnapping women and snatching infants. Let that sink in, America. #NY #Gestapos #naziUSA

hey quick question: if this was an illegal order and the Governor of California is in charge of the state national guard until they're lawfully federalized, why is Gavin suing instead of ordering the guard to not follow Trump's illegal orders?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

the irony of trump praising khosrowshahi here for being a successful immigrant from iran, which is now part of his travel ban

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

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.

I am not kidding, the protestors should should show up with sleeping bags and pillows for these guys.

oof

That’s how you know you’re losing the war. You have to resort to edited video that makes the case that history started and ended on October 7th. If you have eyes, ears, and a sense of time, you know the level of barbarism directed at Palestinians was beyond anything modern day Israelis could know.

Grotesque. But also, I watched footage of the atrocities of October 7th screened by the Israeli Embassy. Didn’t affect my support for a ceasefire in Gaza or opposition to the USG violating the law to provide unconditional military support. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

In five days Vox Union's contract expires. If Vox can't get this done we need to boycott every single Vox property - The Verge, New York Mag, Vox dot com, Thrillist, Curbed, Grub Street, etc. Unsubscribe from pods too. Support their strike.

Francesca Albanese: "Israel has absolutely no authority to intercept and stop a boat like this, which carried humanitarian aid.. to the people of Gaza. You know, there should be state navies breaking the siege instead of a boat of volunteers risking their lives". Spot on.

It is sooooo funny getting to see Musk now try to suck up to get back in the good graces of a dictator who still holds a grudge over Morgan Fairchild being very unfair to him at Studio 54 forty plus years ago.

Murdered by words

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Here's Betty Duong, 1 of 5 Santa Clara County Supervisors, a county with a $12.5 billion/year budget, casually walking around town with an an abolish ice shirt.

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

One of these photos is how HBO's The Watchmen depicted a fascist police force back in 2018 The others are real photos of the ICE agents who are rounding people up and disappearing them in Boston, Denver, L.A., and elsewhere

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Repeated 1A violations can and will hit the press, too. If you are doing anything in service of democracy the fascists are your enemy.

while the margin in the mayoral race is a moral victory for the GOP and they did flip District 9, the net effect of this is apparently the council's Democratic majority shifting left by losing a moderate and trading a soft progressive for a socialist? lol

BBC is the only one covering the Los Angeles protests right now as Fox, CNN and MSNBC ignore it.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

Kat just said "Just because Stephen Miller wants to hit his quota of brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't make this okay" about the LA protests on MSNBC. I wish I knew how to clip these things.

The California legislature and city & county governments should file injunctions and draft emergency legislation prohibiting the quartering of now-federalized troops on private property including hotels under the Third Amendment. Make the Guard bivouac on the ground on federal property.

I would like to propose a rule that if you are a Democratic senator who literally doesn’t show up for judicial confirmation hearings, you are not allowed to fundraise off of Trump being a “threat to democracy and the rule of law” ever again
