Even MSNBC has broadcast footage showing this to be true. This is quite in character for the LASD. Not to say the LAPD are angels. They're not. But LASD is worse.

where's national guard? where are the marines???

oh, no! "low energy"! SAD!

I wish I had a high vantage point, so I could show you the thousands of peaceful, joyous, angry protesters lining both sides of Torrance Boulevard and the side streets. The only police I see so far are doing traffic control. Here are some of the people, and some of the great signs. And me.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "flat earth theory" of earth's shape instead of the widely accepted "round earth theory," which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

WACO! 🙂‍↕️✋ @dexanderson.com

The LA crowd is huge, but then you consider there's also Santa Monica, Long Beach, etc...

until the 1960s same-sex relationships were illegal and considered deviant in the US and UK, while some South American countries had legalized homosexuality in 1831 (Brazil) and 1887 (Argentina). 📖DK Heads Up Sociology

The weird sang-froid with which @NPR states this is a problem. This is as if RFK Jr. was talking about little green men on Mars. "Ancient miasma theory" isn't another viewpoint my dear NPR editors. It's the sun-revolves-around-the-earth stuff. What are you doing?

all will be missed in the mist.

The leader of the so called “constitutional sheriff” effort - who has spent the last 15 years organizing county sheriffs in resistance to the federal government - came on CNN a week after Oklahoma City to defend the militia movement. This all has been festering for too long.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

If a fool falls in the forest & no one hears him??? SAD!

also will piss him off more tbh...

Call Sean Spicer, STAT!

This is how you do it.

there are more ppl in Waterloo, Iowa to protest Trump today than there are ppl in DC to watch Trump's soviet bday parade

Not sure why the band's playing "Tequila Sunrise" but there's a nice-sized No Kings crowd in Baltimore today

Oregon represents!

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

The conceptual model that voter attitudes are relatively fixed, rather than malleable as a result of strategic messaging, has been a constant underlying DECADES of failed Democratic Party campaigns. It reflects the complete absence of two levels of party organization: www.salon.com/2025/05/10/w...

Look, it’s quite simple: if your coalition does not very prominently include Ladies Of A Certain Age Who Organize Things At Their Church then you don’t have a winning coalition, you have a sparkling book club See also: Librarians

Interessant artikel!

2,000+years of data says, "Yes it totally IS about the economy" in the long run. But of course proximal mediators are surely important to understand.

Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Boelter seems to be associated with the authoritarian, charismatic Christian right. 2 months ago, The Christ for The Nations Institute (CFNI) honored Cindy Jacobs, a top apostle and prophet in the theocratic New Apostolic Reformation movement.

Because saying that the victims are Dems would be a national security threat & thus grounds for their d̸e̸p̸o̸r̸t̸a̸t̸i̸o̸n̸ rendition.

Looks like there is a march around Logan Circle in DC. I am heading there now
