I read obsessively. I read everything. Not in the hope of becoming an expert on anything, just hoping I come away understanding a little more than what I entered with header from The Vine-first internet platform I joined way back when

BREAKING: California AG files motion to restrain use of U.S. troops in L.A.

"Trump Always Wanted To Use the Military To Attack Opponents. Now He’s Doing It" In this short explainer video, with receipts!, I unpack the president's autocratic love for violence against protesters as he escalates in LA, including his praise for China after Tiananmen Square. zeteo.com/subscribe

I love the beautiful nature trails that go for many miles behind my house. They come with being part of my neighborhood, and they keep them in good condition. There's a beautiful brook and it's filled with animals. I think it lowers my blood pressure lol

LAPD radio chatter about "protesters arming themselves with shields" and I will point out "arming" only applies to weapons, not PPE

Funny how there’s always more outrage in the media when a shop window gets broken than when people get kidnapped & sent to a gulag.

🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨 CHIRLA along with our faith leaders gather in prayer as we hold each other in love and offer support to the families who have had loved ones ripped apart from them because of these vile ICE raids. 🕯️ #WeBelongHere #ICEOutofLA

A car tried to ram and run over anti ICE protesters in Chicago.

Karen Bass says curfew for part of downtown area will take effect from 8pm local time (03:00 GMT Wednesday).

Okay the march started again and things got intense. At least one arrest. Things are escalating.

A milestone: the first electric aircraft has landed at JFK. "...the flight from the airport in East Hampton to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport took 45 minutes with a pilot and four people" and cost ... $8 worth of electricity.

“This is who Trump is. This is what he said he would do if he returned to office.” Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social unpack Trump’s autocratic love for violence against protesters after he sent troops to L.A. where protests are ongoing in response to ICE raids across the city

ICE Out of New York march in Greenwich Village today.

Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon. They ate wet sandwiches without iced tea. They were two close friends sitting alone together.

Police Violently Crack Down on Los Angeles Protests My latest video report for @capitalandmain.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BCS...

Wowwwww

“We love this country. We want this country to love us back.” #WeBelongHere #ICEOutOfLA

True words from Rachel Maddow.

80,000+ live here. It's a massively dense spot and home to hotels, the convention center, sporting arenas, city government and major shipping hubs. This is nuts.

How is this even remotely enforceable?

anyone who says protesters are the ones starting violence at protests is a cop

Add the Smithsonian to the list of the country's cultural institutions undergoing a MAGA-style overhaul as President Donald Trump moves to purge what he called "anti-American ideology" from exhibits across its 21 museums and the National Zoo.

This is pure fascism and if people don't rise up to go stop this, democracy will be lost permanently. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Just because you aren’t the particular “enemy” being targeted today, doesn’t mean you won’t be tomorrow’s enemy. You turn a blind eye at your peril.

yeah no shit. that's the point

oh crazy, it is as if protests have consistently hurt trump since 2017

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

I just went to a super informative ICE watch training from @ifnotnowmovement.org @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @neveragainactn.bsky.social So appreciative of all the expertise that was shared, I feel equipped not just to do ICE watch myself & report to @dcmigrantmutualaid.org but also to tell friends how.

ICE, the LAPD, and the National Guard are in full collusion to arrest and disappear people who have no criminal record and pose no danger to society. I knew it was going to end up like this as soon as Trump ordered the National Guard to LA. But still. Damn.

Pepe are still marching on Michigan. I’m just trying to hoof it out of the area and I keep running into people who are still protesting.

no one knows what’s going to happen next, but we know there is only so much ICE is capable of without local police working with (for) them

Gotta say @governor.ca.gov is killing it on MSNBC in his state wide address All gas no brakes. Keep it up Gov.

It seems that Arlo is finally having his very demure moment

BREAKING: LA Mayor Karen Bass has announced a curfew for a small part of downtown amid protests against President Trump’s immigration crackdown aje.io/lxdbdw

"Tear gas is banned in international warfare, but it is classified as a 'riot control agent' that law enforcement can use for crowd control."

Newsom: Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?
