As time goes past, it becomes more evident that it was Timothy McVeigh's bombing in Oklahoma City on in April 1995, and not 9/11 in 2001, which was the true start of the American 21st Century.

Monday.

I just dreamed a dream that was part I Spit On Your Grave, part HR Giger wet dream, part Luciferian liberation, in mixed stop action and live action. And the plot is... basically my brain went "pah, Devilman Crybaby? Hold my beer."

I think the key to understanding every soldier's lack of caring in this parade is to know that this is a three-day-weekend for most of the rest of the Army, in honor of the Army's birthday.

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

We all need a little levity, so here's a potato committing seppuku with a vegetable peeler. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vhO...

Such contentment.

I can forgive many things, but I cannot forgive being so terrible that you give Gavin Newsom a chance to appear courageous.

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

If we're doing ctenophore rainbows for Pride month... here's one from Anilao. I believe it's Leucothea sp. Watching these cruise around in the dark like miniature spaceships was fantastic, except when they run into you and you get a slimy surprise bouncing off your head #MarineLife #Invertebrates

Someone asked what LA's "fight song" is going to be. Song? It's the whole fucking album.

"Good evening. Our top story tonight:"

Making up a batch of biscuits and gravy. I'll be having some today, but half of the batch is going with my favorite co-worker to the crew at work. Neese's hot sausage for the gravy, biscuits are made with sourdough discard and patted out cats' head style for extra craggy crust and fluffy insides.

"It wasn’t that the city was lawless. It had plenty of laws. It just didn’t offer many opportunities not to break them." literally flawless takedown of broken windows policing. night watch should be mandatory reading in high school social studies/civics and also for elected officials

Comics are good.

Last time he did this Yemeni-Americans nearly shut down New York by closing their bodegas

Looks like the agencies shooting pepper balls and pepper spraying are mostly ICE and Federal Protective Service, California National Guard seems to be standing around holding their shields

Will the mainstream media stand in solidarity with reporters being brutalized by Trump's goons or will they push "violent protests and blue city anarchy!" stories? I think it will be telling!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Oh shit ol Haircut found a spine? Did @govpritzker.illinois.gov call and give him tips??

I keep going back and forth between feeling lucky these guys are so stupid and believing that being stupid is an important component of fascist politics.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

This is, without irony, the modern version of Cronkite saying Vietnam was unwinnable

Focusing on Stranger Danger means we don’t have the brain space to worry about the bad dads, funny uncles, scoutmasters and preachers that kids come into contact with regularly and often

As foretold in the prophecy
