I know posting twitter screen grabs is frowned upon here, OTOH, bwahhaha

This is an “insurrection” to the trump White House. They aren’t satisfied with protests being peaceful, they don’t want them to exist at all

Somebody buy this woman one of those neck air conditioners and a gasmask.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Doing a little glow-up of a bust I originally painted back in the 90s.

This needs as much coverage as protests or ICE raids. Los Angelenos FTW. ❤️🙌

The asymmetry here is clear. It is entirely fine for a government official to decry a journalist as hateful, as Vance does here, but not the other way around. Miller has a record, since high school, of expressing hatred towards immigrants. Trump has joked about how extreme his views are.

Fact check: True.

The country would be immeasurably better off if the NYT permanently replaced David Brooks with this guy.

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

What happened in Paramount and Downtown LA was not a riot. THIS is what an LA riot looks like.

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.

Hit Nazi scum hollers

During the George Floyd protests i wrote about the media's bias against left wing protest and man has it aged well

“Firing back”

reading about the ice protests in los angeles. *taps the sign*

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

I fucking love this kid!

You can get distracted by all the stuff that’s really bad and abhorrent and you might miss all the stuff that’s REALLY bad and abhorrent. It’s like a magician show in horror alley.

More shork-based posting. Here's Bruce. Sculpt from @snuurg.bsky.social with paint by @chunkyduff.bsky.social

I've never particularly wanted a piñata before. Now I really really do.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Bad shit happens when the military comes into to a volatile situation. This reminds me of a story from the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, to which some Marines deployed. I knew one of them and he told this story I also saw elsewhere — absent his telling it I would have assumed it was apocryphal. /1

exactly how shitty do you have to be for LAPD and LACSD to be like "nah y'all you're on your own"

Hell of a photo

What timing the play is being aired while the protests in LA are happening

Bored Trump wants ratings but didn’t like the Musk sub-plot so has accelerated the “war with California” storyline.

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

This is the only meme you need.

Let’s be very clear: Los Angeles is the perfect place for this to play out for the Trumpists. The Trumpists hate California and hate Los Angeles and a vast amount of their base feels the same — even the Trumpists here, who wallow in hating the place they live. /1

That kid is incredibly badass … but I have to say, they’re literally firing on a civilian youth who was walking away.

I've said this since the first Trump administration. There are more of us than there are them. We have to remember this.

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

This is @melbuer.bsky.social on Sean’s account, posting here since it’s his video: the moment that Sean and @ryannemena.bsky.social were injured by what may have been a tear gas canister fired from a line of HSI officers in Paramount, CA.

This is the second day in a row that federal agents shot us both

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

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.

I'd forgitten the particular fact about all his rejections by med schools. Makes an egregiously bad ruling even worse. Mediocre white guys are such whiners. In our racially based caste system, white guys are always supposed to come out on top.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

Video of an ICE caravan just ramming people

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

Wow. My babies are home from their appointment at the studio with @jayadan.com . Gorgeous work, worth every penny.

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian
