I would expect we start to see a wave of peaceful protest and broken windows accounts show up to try and demotivate people from acting out against the accelerating attacks by governmental forces in LA here very shortly.

Peaceful protest doesn't negate the need for tactical protective gear. Highly recommend protesters and potential protesters get what you may need now. Head gear, eye protection, body armor, etc.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

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."

Don't wear goggles to a protest unless they're rated shatter resistant. You're better off with NO eye protection than eyewear that will send shards of plastic into your eye. If you can't find shatterproof goggles, get lacrosse goggles. Cheap and effective eye protection from larger munitions.

This is excellent news! Hopefully universities are investing in their liberal arts departments to meet this demand. But before I check, let me take this big sip of water.

yeah, and this goes well beyond health. the govt told a lot of people they could live here legally and it's now incarcerating them. last year, the fbi told the public it didn't need warrants for a surveillance program that wiretaps americans b/c it was policing itself. and it just fired the police.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND YOUR SOULMATE ON A DATING APP! You need to run away from home chasing rumors of your martyred sister, only to get captured by slavers, until the most feared pirate queen of the south sea raids the ship, and together you feed the slavers to the sea 🌊🙌🏽🔥

Trump and MAGA knew the Democrats were weak fucks and would bow to any sort of "norms" conversation in the press because they're marks and not cut out to represent the people of this country. They are soft, selfish, old dicks.

Whew. The progressive DA candidate won his primary. He was running against a more conservative candidate who brought in a bunch of money from outside Philly. He was supported by trade unions and the more conservative ward leaders (including my ward leader, yuck!). Relieved at this result!

We can’t fully fight Trump because a lot of people like him because they think “immigrants/ Blacks / LGBTQ+” got too much And are enjoying the way Trump resets expectations

Yup. I continue to say that AI is for those who fetishize THE IDEA and dismiss THE WORK. It's for those people who come up to writers and say, "I got a great idea for a book, I'll give it to you, you write it, and we'll split the profits 50/50," as if the idea is the hardest and most important part.

This is actually the nut of it: Leadership (elected or otherwise) is not about YOU - it's about your goals and your team. It's about them. Too many have forgotten that.

Straight-up misogyny is the explanation for 2024 that accords best with the actual vote shifts. But for some reason if you mention it a ton of people rush out of the woodwork to go “no no no! it’s inflation and Harris’s policy choices! Which for some reason only men cared about!”

"Revolt" is an odd choice to describe a peaceful boycott led by black ministers. We're consumers, not subjects or employees. Target has never had a right to our dollar.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Infuriating to see over and over that being a Democratic president, member of Congress, or Supreme Court justice are the only jobs in America where it’s considered gauche to suggest that it might be good for everyone if an elderly and/or sick person were to retire

Strongly urging folks not to accept the "Air Force One" framing on this. Air Force One is a government plane, owned by the taxpayers and available to whoever the president is. Trump's Qatari sky palace will be outfitted at taxpayer's expense, used by him and then transferred to his ownership.
