What's happening in Los Angeles and all over the country is not a riot, it is not chaos, it is not an insurrection. It is the entirely predictable consequences of what happens when you put ice in a melting pot.

Austin already had tear gas deployed on protestors earlier this week, and I’d be shocked if it didn’t happen again. If you’d like to support some awesome street medics, this group does great work and could use funds to pick up saline solution before the weekend! linktr.ee/StreetMedics...

Do not bring your phone to a protest. Your WiFi identifies you passively all the time. Your Bluetooth identifies you passively all the time. No, a faraday bag is not enough. No, airplane mode is not enough. Burners you bought with a credit card or online aren’t “burners.” They are attached to you.

Seventy-five Democrats voted in support of a resolution that praises the deportation regime. This is not an opposition.

Please, PLEASE stop using Substack. Stuff Keeps Happening (and many other popular newsletters) use other systems such as Ghost, which gives you more control and more direct connection to your audience while not further entrenching a Nazi haven

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

"less lethal" weapons were not adopted for the sake of the public they were adopted so cops would feel more free to pull the trigger, knowing they'll face no repercussions

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

Less-lethal doesn’t mean NOT lethal. I have witnessed too many injuries that have caused so much damage or led to eventual death for some protestors simply because a cop decided that a medic or someone just standing there needed a lead-filled beanbag or worse to the head. These things are high speed

Remember, Dems won’t save you either. No politician will. We save ourselves. We keep us safe. Dems aren’t really even left-leaning in the grand scheme of things. They’re centrists.

i stopped wearing red crosses more than a decade ago, because police habitually target medics. this isn’t a one-off, it’s a deliberate choice they make over and over again. it’s not “a few bad apples,” it’s widespread practice.

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

Keep the sequence of events clear in your mind: ICE was preparing to snatch day laborers from a Home Depot in order to meet deportation quotas set by Trump. Community members protested. ICE responded with flash-bangs and tear gas. ICE started it and ICE escalated it. Period. #LosAngeles

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. And they would easily work with him.
