I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to have traffic back because of this place. How much I deeply resent the artificial silencing imposed on writers and publishers at Meta and X. Grateful to the readers, writers and publishers I’ve found here.

The best scientific evidence is that the 2020 BLM protests helped defeat Trump in the election. These protests are likely doing the same. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”

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

We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE

full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

the vast silent vacuum of space is louder than the free speech warriors right now

The biggest threat to our nation? Guys hanging out at Home Depot hoping to work on a construction project.

And vision & dental, too.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

100%

Every accusation is a confession

In awe of the brave people putting their bodies in front of ICE vehicles

@usatoday.com gets it right.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

A stain of dishonor for the United States military that it'll take generations to wash off. Will be decades before anyone overseas will ever want to help us soldiers again

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

i just want to point out that what’s happening in la right now — local law enforcement, even in a sanctuary city, directly working with ice to round up immigrants and attack protesters — is *exactly* why people get so angry when protest organizers insist that they will cooperate with police.

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

This is true bravery, and my heart is with every single soul who put their own safety on the line to protest fascism

I will remind everyone that tear gas is an abortifacient and hormonal disruptor. In 2020 we were trying to conceive. The day after getting teargassed, I bled worse than I ever had in my entire life. My periods were not regular for about 6 months after.

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

I think we the people of the United States can and should stop funding the troops that are waging war against we the people of the United States.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

Please PLEASE don't try to figure out who the skateboard kid is PLEASE if you're gonna make them a meme please leave the actualperson the fuck alone cops murdered visible protestors from Ferguson and 'fun' internet sleuthing is policing

It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the internal solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

We don't have secret police in America. At least we're not supposed to.

It continues to make me sad that Ro Khanna used VC and tech money to push Mike Honda out of Congress. Honda was a childhood Japanese internee who became a high school teacher, congressman, and staunch ally of labor and LGBTQ ppl. Khanna is … wooing a white supremacist anti-trans bigot for his money.

This is a great program! Good on the Spencer foundation!!

What I mean when I say NO KINGS: “The grid operators that draw power from the plants said they never asked for them to remain open, and consumers may have to absorb extra costs.” Gift link: Coal and Gas Plants Were Closing. Then Trump Ordered Them to Keep Running. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/c...

This is so funny. Chris Murphy is a SENATOR. You FUCKING KEEP TELLING PEOPLE YOU CANNOT STOP THIS BILL. Shut the hell up. If people lose their health care, it has more to do your useless asses than a *made for Twitter* fight. Loser.

Don't BE DISTRACTED they scream at regular people. DISTRACTED FROM WHAT, SENATOR? What's the CONCRETE PLAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS OFFERED TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HEALTHCARE?

University of Michigan paying a security firm $800k to infiltrate leftist groups on campus. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Jesus fucking Christ a bunch of *children* committed an acid attack against a trans woman in Philly. this is what this fucking ever-escalating rhetoric gets us; children are radicalized before they can even conceptualize of the weight of their actions www.inquirer.com/crime/acid-a...
