The hater spirit is strong in America. Everyone loves seeing straight pride flop in Boise, Idaho.

#Pride celebration in #Boise, #Idaho in May vs. white supremacist organized anti-LGBTQ+ event today. People would rather gather together and party in celebration of fighting domination than hang out with a bunch of freaks who marched with tiki torches. Nazi grifters fuck off.

Anti-LGBTQ+ event in #Boise promoted by "white supremacist podcast" is laughable flop. Happy #Pride. Fuck these losers. bsky.app/profile/bigb...

The vicious mercenaries who work for ICE and DHS represent the front lines of an autocratic power grab intended to subjugate all of us. Those who are confronting them in Portland every night are heroes. Their courageous efforts give us cause to believe that freedom might yet triumph over tyranny.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Mahmoud Kahlil is out!

I am not anarchist but this is still one of the more intelligent critiques of last Saturday’s silliness

Palantir is owned by tech-right fascist Peter Thiel, a billionaire at the nexus between the Trump administration and the growing techno-fascist wing of the far-Right. As a corporation, it is also growing heavily involved in the defense industry, ICE operations, and building surveillance tools.

The Los Angeles Tenants Union (LATU) is setting up hubs outside of hot-spots targeted by ICE.

"Organized by LA Tenants Union Koreatown Local, it's part reading materials, part collective action. Friendly faces help new volunteers or anyone seeking info on immigrant rights. Groups go out in shifts to do community patrols, while others hand out “Know Your Rights” cards to vendors."
