This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

You can’t even take back your wife

there's a non-zero chance that Bill is going to be at the barricades and i don't know what this says about the current political establishment

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

This is feeling disturbingly like the discourse around the college protests last spring: media and elected officials painted a picture of chaos and violence (supposedly committed by protestors) that was practically unrecognizable to anyone on the ground.

Surrendering to Trump‘s framing on what’s going on in parts of LA County right now is malpractice. There’s been more violence after Dodgers games and when intersections get taken over for sideshows then what has been going on this weekend. And the Senator knows this.

It's telling that a democratic senator seems to be more inclined to scold his own constituents, who are currently under attack by ICE and local cops, than place any blame whatsoever on the people doing it. None of these people are going to lift a finger to stop any of this shit.

The fight between Musk and Trump is fundamentally all about people losing their healthcare. If you don’t know how to capitalize on that and you keep insisting it’s all a distraction you need to find another line of work.

The most alpha thing of all time: two old men typing on their phones while crying

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

Me watching two loathsome oligarchs go at it

Has Jake Tapper seen this? The cover-up was worse than we thought. Early 2020 robots were notoriously janky and White House staff just pretended it was fine.

Newsom is doing an incredible job running for president in 1992.

Putting the merits aside, it’s wild how the media treats GOP hatred of the majority of the country as normal. If democratic leaders said “We can all agree Mississippi is a shithole” we would never hear the end of it.

this is like 65% of the way to infowars shit

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students

Ask yourself whether the imminent passage of the biggest deficit-increasing tax cut in history, or a violent attack that resulted in the death of two foreign diplomats has greater inherent news value. Then ask which story leading the news tomorrow will help Trump more. Observe what happens.

“well, my neighbor got thrown in a gulag, my kid has measles and the ps6 costs as much as a ford bronco, but i just can’t get past dems refusing to say joe biden was old in 2025” - a voter who definitely exists

becoming more sincerely religious because there has to be a hell for these people

Excited for the hawk-eyed political press, newly charged with protecting the public from mentally declining elderly presidents, to drill down on why the current president thinks the word “groceries” is unusual enough to repeatedly comment on

"This is just a distraction from egg prices" will be the last words of a congressional Democrat being led to a firing squad on the South Lawn.

what these people mean is that they themselves will work hard to paint her as an extreme leftist and sabotage her chances because they prefer being ruled as subjects by Trump and his ghouls to AOC gaining power

The last on-duty homicide of a detention and deportation officer was 1949. The last time there was even a non-COVID death on duty was 2016, when an officer had a heart attack during a foot pursuit. Before that, a training accident in 2003, then a fall down an elevator shaft at a jail in 1975.

They’re lashing out against Habeas and arresting Mayors because they know their position is weak and getting weaker, and they’re panicking. It’s scary to live through, but it’s less scary when you remember this isn’t coming from a position of strength, it’s sweaty desperation.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Dumb as fuck party

I’ve seen so many attempts to explain exactly why this is but the only explanatory framework that works is that the media has an extremely strong conservative bias

*checking in on horse racing* “Sovereignty outduels Journalism” well that’s a little on the nose, guys

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

It’s impossible to overemphasize how much of the Democrats’ current misery is the consequence of putting people like Jeffries, Pelosi, and Schumer in charge of the party. Men and women whose entire political philosophy is looking for opportunities to slink offstage unnoticed

For most of my life, Very Serious People maintained the polite fiction that conservatives are motivated by concern over the size of government. It was always this: an atavistic thrill at the suffering of marginalized outsiders. Always. That's the engine that runs the conservative movement.

Trump's endorsement fully destroying Shadeur Sanders draft unironically makes me feel optimistic about the trajectory of America
