long live Los Angeles

It's telling that a democratic senator seems to be more inclined to scold his own constituents, who are currently under attack by ICE and local cops, than place any blame whatsoever on the people doing it. None of these people are going to lift a finger to stop any of this shit.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Still the same thugs they always were.

Wow. Who’d have thought that kidnapping loved ones, friends and neighbors would really piss off people?

BREAKING: An enormous peaceful protest has broken out in Los Angeles in defiance of Donald Trump’s ICE raids. This is how it’s done.

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

America Attacks Self, Protects ICE Mind the snipers, kids! open.substack.com/pub/jim825/p...

Right now there is an LAPD sniper in downtown Los Angeles pointing his rifle at protesters on the street. Because ICE's racist kidnapping spree must be protected at all costs. And Barack Obama sent three quarters of a billion dollars in battlefield weapons every year to this country's police.

BBC is the only one covering the Los Angeles protests right now as Fox, CNN and MSNBC ignore it.

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Vaccination will be essential to responding effectively to a H5N1 outbreak & we aren't ready. I spoke to @amymaxmen.bsky.social about it. My closer: "Should the bird flu become a pandemic in the next few years, Rasmussen said, "we will be screwed on multiple levels." abcnews.go.com/Health/axing...

MACO TACO

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

“The City of LA's Sanctuary City Ordinance prohibits City resources from being used to aid federal immigration enforcement. However, today, the City witnessed through videos and media coverage Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers within the vicinity of ICE raids."

Re: Today's ICE Raids in the City of LA As City Controller, we will be formally requesting information from the LAPD to determine the financial impact these ICE raids have had in using City resources, such as the LAPD’s involvement and response to the resulting demonstrations.

abolish ICE and lock these agents in a dungeon.

So much fucking tear gas. DHS going nuts right now. This is happening in your sanctuary city “Los Angeles”

Just got shot with one of these…

Tenants with @KCTenants just won an 8-month strike -- and showed that labor tactics work on landlords. reporting by @rebeccaburns.bsky.social for @inthesetimes.com inthesetimes.com/article/rent...

"Zohran Mamdani has stood shoulder to shoulder with us in our fight against some of the toughest bosses in New York City. He's been to countless UAW picket lines. He's fought for better wages, for our livelihoods, and for a livable city for UAW members." - @shawnfainuaw.bsky.social

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a once-in-a-generation leader who has led the fight for working people in Congress. In 2018, she shocked the world and transformed our politics. On June 24, with @aoc.bsky.social’s support and this movement behind us, we will do the same.

As Propaganda Minister of Team Fraud, I was exceptionally pleased with the interest in our work, but not because it was a “disinformation win.” Our preprint was published after peer review in Science & it stands. I’m mostly pleased that it makes Prof Ebright so utterly deranged that he said this 🤪

Will Israel murder Greta Thunberg before or after she tries to deliver food to starving Palestinians? Watch this space! freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/...

Capitalism at work, my fellow victims and suckers.

We tried that 15 years ago when you had a super majority and still trashed single-payer- and it didn’t work. Any other brilliant ideas, guy who lost Congress to the Tea Party?

New: TIME reporters were able to use Google’s AI video tool to make convincing videos of Muslims setting fire to a Hindu temple; Chinese researchers handling a bat in a wet lab; and elections worker shredding ballots. After TIME contacted Google, it began adding a visible watermark to Veo 3 clips

‘What Israel has created in Gaza is an environment so toxic to human life that the unnaturally high level of deaths (at least 54,000 since October 2023) would continue even if the bombing were to stop immediately.’ @selmadabbagh.bsky.social on Gaza, from the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ju...

Looks like Secret Service is gonna be involved with deportations

“No matter what (Jay Bhattacharya) tells himself to sleep at night, people will suffer and potentially die because of the policies he’s allowing at NIH under his leadership.” www.importantcontext.news/p/out-of-his...

if you represent or work for a hospital who gets investigated by the FBI, i want to talk to you. my signal is in my bio.

NEW: Important Context spoke with a dozen people working at NIH about Director Jay Bhattacharya. The descriptions were universally unflattering, painting the health economist as ineffectual, dishonest, ideological, arrogant, and uncommitted to science. www.importantcontext.news/p/out-of-his...

This is beyond dangerous. The people on this flotilla are pure courage. Pray for their safety.

US senator calls for the destruction of a civilian ship that intends to deliver humanitarian aid

Democrats, before you start mocking this: your candidates LOST to this crazy fuckhead.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.
