1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

I think what most of the Protest Discourse is missing is that it's mostly inapplicable to spontaneous protest. You're criticizing random people who are almost certainly not the audience for your admonishments anyway

They will invent the pretext unless we’re so thoroughly supine they don’t need to, which leads to the same outcome.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

Of course the IDF was never going to allow the Madleen to sail up to the Gaza shoreline, in the same way that of course Stephen Miller was always going to try to attack protesters. That's irrelevant. The thing that people need to get a grip about is that these are both bad things.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Trump is saving Los Angeles from big scary **checks notes** dancing flash mobs

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

JFC Excellent unit of measure: a year of NIH funding

Imperial boomerangs are boomeranging hard these days

One of the Russian strikes on #Kyiv last night. Ukrainians live through that - and the very next morning, we go to work, kids go to schools, life goes on (we have to, we cannot let Russia win). Our resilience never ceases to amaze me, honestly.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 In an interview with Reuters, Major General Freuding said that European NATO members and Canada already cover about 60% of all Western military assistance to Ukraine and, if there is political will, are able to almost completely compensate even for the complete disappearance of US support.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

An article about the Graham-Blumenthal sanctions bill that completely misses the fact that the bill leaves the determination of whether Russia has committed sanctionable acts up to Trump. Trump could sign it into law and would then never need to approve sanctions if he didn't want to.

America discovers the Ukrainian concept of Zhabohadyuking.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

The American fascist movement appears to be fissuring back into its rival jock and creep factions

hi, divorce expert here! this is not funny, JD Vance only does this when he's in extreme distress.

MMMMmmm oh god oh yeah that’s the good stuff like that

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

The straightest thing you can do as a man is to think a lot about two other guys' balls.

🚨BREAKING: Convoy of Cybertrucks filled with Muskites heading for Washington D.C.

Three men sit in a cell in El Salvador. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned. He replies, "Because I criticized Elon Musk." The first man responds, "But I am here for praising Musk!" They ask the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back. He answers, "I AM Elon Musk".

As the prophecy foretold.

finally a worthy Alien vs. Predator installment

We should name our next three aircraft carriers Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion out of pure spite

Elon Musk must be sober today

⚡️ Senator Lindsey Graham calls out Russia’s real goals after Medvedev admits peace talks are just a front. “I appreciate you making it clear to the world that Putin and Russia are not remotely interested in peace.”

“Traffic on the Kerch Bridge has been restored”

I’m not saying this story is false but I am saying it is totally in the interest of the Trump White House to have a story out there suggesting that some universities are looking to acquiesce.

🤔🇺🇦 Zelensky: The issue of exchanging the bodies of dead soldiers needs to be thoroughly looked into. Because, as we have learned, only 15% of those 6,000 have been identified by the Russians. The Russians handed over bodies to us, including those of their own dead soldiers.
