....make it permanent.

LAPD officer Rick Linton is fucking unhinged and unloading on protesters at point blank range. FUCK THIS PIG!!

DHS Chief: ‘We Are A Nation Of Immigrants Who Came Here Between 1776 And 1943’

The army marines etc are full of people that have repeatedly lost wars against people with significantly worse access to weapons and technology, trying to use tech they don’t use on a regular basis. They are not some kind of unstoppable force they want you to think they are.

PRIMARY THESE MISCREANTS.

as a native Angeleno, if the LA Times under Soon-Shiong is printing this, then it’s unequivocal

Also, if it wasn’t clear: Fuck ICE. Free Palestine. Trans liberation. If you disagree, fuck you too.

The United States is hosting the 2028 summer Olympics in Los Angeles

los angeles california 1940

yeah i love waymo, way mo immigrants coming to my city

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

fuck the pigs

Thou shalt not tell others “this is a distraction” from something else you have unilaterally decided is more important. You are not helping. You are attacking your allies for caring.

how do we feel about modern propaganda posters?

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

Some people see the abductions and deportations and immediately default to the defense of capital. "Oh, the [INSERT LOW WAGE INDUSTRY] will suffer!!" That shit doesn't matter. They are destroying somebody's life. Ripping them out of them out of their loved ones' lives without notice.

making sure people aren't kidnapped from their homes and workplaces is more important than worrying what people will think of rock throwing. caring about optics should come secondary to making sure ICE is deterred from their job

Don't remember this book for some reason

they never miss

I wonder how all those people who have been screaming that the courts and rule of law would save them are doing today.

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

If your first instinct to a community defending their friends, families, and neighbors from murderous fascists looking to kidnap them is to say, "Maybe they should be more polite about it," you're probably not on the side you think you are.

personally, I prefer a political system that doesn't operate entirely on the whims of irony-poisoned weirdos and that focuses on things like infrastructure and health care, but that's just me.

It's your patriotic duty to get on Grindr and tell all the Marines in LA that the Guardsmen said they're fags.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

They are coming for the unions. Absolutely a red flag

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Remember how an ABC reporter was just fired for speculating about the psychology of Stephen Miller?

It still really bugs me when people don't put their weights back after using a machine. Like your time isn't more important then anyone elses. It's giving small energy when you're trying to get big. 😒

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

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.

People thinking that being a furry is a fetish highkey reminds me of when homophobes reduced gayness to sex

Over 10,000 protesters marched peacefully through Downtown Los Angeles for a third straight day, their voices rising against ICE raids tearing families apart. In silence, they filled the freeway—an ocean of defiance and unity. No violence, just courage. This is what resistance looks like. 💪🔥✊🏽🕊️📣🇺🇸

The IDF has intercepted and kidnapped the Madleen because they didn't want it to deliver baby formula n other things like that to Palestinians who are experiencing starvation due to the Israeli government refusing to allow aid in. That's the story no matter how you window dress it.

Know your rights.

This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. jesspiper.substack.com/p/advice-fro...

They’re always gonna accuse you of protesting wrong and they’re always going to accuse you of being a communist. Might as well pick up a brick and some Marx.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

BREAKING: Israeli forces boarded the Gaza Aid Flotilla ship, the “Madleen,” early Monday morning local time and detained the 12 passengers on board, according to several reports. Read @premthakker.bsky.social's coverage of what we know so far: zeteo.com/p/breaking-i...
