🔥 LA PROTEST QUEEN 👸 TO ARMED NATIONAL GUARD IN LA: “This is how ridiculous you look!” Puts on a dinosaur costume 🦕 THEN: “What the hell is this? You’re Americans, aren’t you? Put down your weapons, don’t follow these fascists.” 🇺🇸 (Someone pls buy her a drink on us)

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

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.

Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now. "Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

The White House has posted a new executive order authorizing the federalization of the National Guard to support DHS and ICE functions. The most serious indication is the inclusion of “rebellion against the authority of the Government.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidentia... 1/8

Received a question about us not knowing for sure what's happening yet. I want to address this clearly. We don’t have full visibility yet, and waiting for certainty to talk about this is dangerous. When the federal government is acting over the objections of a state, that is a critical situation.

Friends, this is MOST important! ICE is doing raids and LAPD is directly assisting by setting up a perimeter around the law enforcement scene. LA is a sanctuary city and they CANNOT help law enforcement in ANY way. Call Karen Bass and demand that the law be followed. ktla.com/news/califor...

🧵What Musk is experiencing now, along with many of his billionaire friends, is something they forsook respect, decency, and public opinion to avoid. It didn't matter. It won't save them. It never does in an autocracy. 1/8

This is what fascism looks like. Secret police raids. Injuring protesters. Arresting labor leaders.

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

In the 1940s, the Taft-Hartley Act was passed. This banned sympathy strikes and boycotts, allowed employers to use paid work time to campaign against unionization, ended wildcat strikes, and created right-to-work laws. Yet, this served to do more than just weaken a union's ability to strike. 🧵

36 years ago, the world watched as thousands of ordinary Chinese citizens—unarmed and unafraid—gathered in Tiananmen Square to demand democracy. While the regime responded with tanks and bullets, it could not crush their courage or silence their call for freedom.

I’ve been told a few times by engineers in the space launch industry that the problems with this rocket are much more fundamental than most of the red coverage suggests. How many of them are supposed to blow up?
