"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

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

People have been sounding the alarm on serial pedophile Jared Leto for a long time but somehow major studios just kept on booking him www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

I must tell you this was not the first thing I saw today which caused me to flash back to being in the West Bank or East Jerusalem in 2010. Which I believe is typically considered "a good sign"

this is why we call them nazis. they're not cartoon villains, they are people who do this. then they go home and sleep fine and come back to work do they can do it to another family

Returns just in from San Antonio’s election for mayor: 102K ballots just dropped (that’s the early and mail vote), and Dem Gina Ortiz Jones leads 52.2% to 47.8% over her GOP opponent. (In the first round last month, early/mail was roughly two-thirds of the total vote.)

The current administration is living in a fantasy world where they just push a button and win even in blue states and it’s just not going to work that way

Bitch you're the only person talking about this shit! This is letting the other side dictate the debate! We've been beaten over the head with Alexander Hamilton quotes for a decade and yet party leadership still hasn't internalized the easiest thing: "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/O1jiyie

complaining about Black Lives Matter in a speech to the Republican Attorneys General Association should be the end of whatever remaining liberal cred the ADL had

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!

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Ignoring that most of these have equal rights for all citizens and many are extremely diverse, the inclusion of Armenia and not Azerbaijan should set off "there's money involved" alarm bells

honestly the ADL is more or less just an anti-Arab hate group which is entirely neutral on the issue of antisemitism

Back on my bullshit

There is absolutely no way we get to go back to normal after this. And unless a democrat is talking about how these situations never happen again, they don’t deserve a single cent. A single attendance to their events. Nothing. They need to be shunned into action.

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.
