Any gang of freaks can come and grab you and say they are ICE. Police are supposed to have badges and uniforms, and not wear masks, for this exact reason, for accountability, for public safety.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

I thought I was losing my mind when this happened because it was an attempted assassination of a national political leader and it was treated like it was nothing.

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.

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.

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes

A good counterargument to "you shouldn't do [xxx] because then the fascists and press will call it a riot!!" is you can literally not show up and the fascists, the press will still call it a riot

What’s happening in LA is an a good reminder of how ever more fragmented our information landscape has become On Bluesky it’s almost entirely about executive overreach; on X it’s “LA is burning; deport them all”

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

It’s important to remember the right wing media ecosystem has a specific audience and none of us are it. They traffic in pure unadulterated bullshit about what cities are like. Not ugly interpretations of reality, total disinterest in reality. The “news” is campfire ghost stories for the terrified.

interesting to note that 400 protesters have monopolized all of LASD’s enforcement power because they tried to help ICE arrest half a dozen guys working at a Home Depot if you’re scoring on efficiency, the protesters are winning

It can feel that way, I suppose, but a system of discriminatory in-person policing — one that often results in people of color being disproportionally at risk of being targeted, not to mention becoming the victims of police violence — is the real violation of the social contract.
