New from 404 Media: here's our report on the aircraft circling above the LA protests. Local, state, DHS, military all flew. Left: aircraft from air base. Right: a distinctive high altitude/hexagonal flight pattern, looks like a Predator drone (it flew to border after) www.404media.co/dhs-black-ha...

This is exactly what happened to me. Watching Democratic Leadership spend all of 2024 telling us that electing Trump would be the end of the world, and then waking up in 2025 to find out they didn’t actually care, that did it.

I'm a believer in nonviolent resistance for moral reasons, and I think it can be incredibly powerful when well-planned and sustained, but don't tell me violence doesn't work. The people successfully rolling back my rights were sending bomb threats to children's hospitals.

well I'm sure the dance majors are thrilled

Agile Development was invented in the Soviet Union.

We call for the immediate release of our brother David Huerta of @seiuca.bsky.social from ICE custody & demand any pending charges against him be dropped. Pres Huerta was exercising his 1st amendment rights & advocating for working people when he was violently assaulted by masked ICE agents 1/4

Oh, wow 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

Remember, folks - Anyone on here who is advocating for violent acts in the immediate future against identifiable individuals or groups is functionally a fed. Whether they know it or not.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN was released 43 years ago this week. Acclaimed as the best entry in the Star Trek film series, and featuring one of the biggest movie deaths, the story behind the scenes doesn’t believe in no-win scenarios… 1/59

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Maybe it’s not people speaking truth causing outrage…maybe it’s the actual outrageous tactics being used for mass deportation 🤔

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

What is the city but the people?

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

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

Hope other countries are excited for the LA Olympics!

The world keeps reminding me of Andor. Or maybe it's the other way around. 🤔

Hell of a photo

This is a BSG quote I've thought about a lot in recent years, as French law enforcement has become increasingly militarized, and I found myself and my son gassed during a completely peaceful and quiet protest (for a social subject).

Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now. "Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

Democrats should not (must not) take Musk's money, but I want to point out how chilling it is for the president of the United States to be promising "very serious consequences" to someone if they donate to the opposition party. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

this is one of the most batshit things I’ve ever seen and I live in a literal monarchy where the king’s birthday is a national holiday on Google calendar

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented. (Photo from a colleague in DC)

In our new piece in @survstudiesnet.bsky.social, we unpack how Tesla and its car fleet became the blueprint for luxury surveillance, operating as machines that seduce users with innovation while quietly disciplining them. You can read our article on the 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗿 here: lnkd.in/eh6H8rry.

You may not be in a position to fight the American Gestapo but you can take video of them, wave your middle finger at them, and show that Americans will not meekly surrender to them.

EXCLUSIVE: The memo obtained by NPR says troops would be used in activities, including in "night operations and rural interdiction," as well as "guard duty and riot control" inside detention facilities.

Because none of this is messy enough, let's put a privacy nightmare into the pile

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Republicans have gotten a *lot* more regressive on gender in a very short period of time. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/o...

In general any history of trans medicine needs to start from the fact that, for most of its history, psychiatry believed gender conformity was itself a measure of health. This fueled a long history of institutionalization and medical violence against women, intersex people, and queer people.
