Oh, also! My dad once installed ceiling fans for Bob "Boots" Williams, who was a locally famous car salesman in Kansas City who was known for wearing a barrel in his commercials. I was along to help and was introduced as if I was meeting a movie star.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I often think of Mayor Lucano, ever since reading about him. Mayor of a dying southern Italian town of 500 people, who rescued it by giving migrants a home in the many empty homes and abandoned buildings, which the right wing Italian government treated as a crime. time.com/6104836/dome...

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, & disappears people into death camps—NRA is silent. Know why? Because NRA was never about firearm protection—but about white supremacy protection. As long as ICE targets mostly Black & brown people, NRA is happy

Ah yes it's time for the annual summer camp trend piece that fails to engage with the fact that kids being home requires the presence of a parent [mom] & that lists the amounts of money involved purely as a lifestyle marker instead of a symptom of total systemic failure & the need for class war 🤗

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, and lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it.

One thing I saw a lot this afternoon was individual cops just getting annoyed by an individual and then suddenly clubbing or shooting rubber bullets at them. With all sorts of LAPD superiors, hundreds with phones and media present. Like they can just go off in public if they're feeling pestered.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence: 1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating. 2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights. 3. Their goals are bigger than today. /1

If protesters fire """non-lethal""" rounds at the police, what words would the police and the media use to describe it? Because some people are hand-wringing about calling it "firing on" protesters when, if reversed, they would call it lethal force or some other BS in service of copaganda
