A white moderate's idea of protesting is always the goofiest, most ineffectual fucking thing you've ever heard. Useless, meaningless symbolism done exactly once, for the duration of a brunch.

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be the most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

LAPD said in the summer of 2020 that they can handle one large protest of 10k but they cannot handle ten protests of 1k. Do with that information accordingly

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

For a fun time check out how the new York times talked about protest and resistance against the Vichy.

The reason Bluesky, unlike Twitter, hasn't become the proverbial 'Nazi Bar', is because when a Nazi tries to worm their way in here, we all pick up our bats and tell them to get the fuck out.

Lifehack: you can pronounce "central" as "sensual" and no one will notice. Sensual Pennsylvania, sensual processing unit, sensual park, etc

THIS. Also, to just be horrified at the idea of the “Department of Homeland Security”. I literally said the word “Nazis” at the time. People born this century, there didn’t used to be a Department of Homeland Security.

“Listen dahling, if you adopt me, I will require a nightly lobster frittata. If this is not available, I will accept a Strangozzi al Tartufo Nero made with truffles found on the ridge of Lake Titicaca, a place I visit frequently. People only seem to find humor in its name, and I think that’s tragic”

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."

Can't help but think that if Trump deploys the military against American citizens in Los Angeles, his little military parade in a week will take on completely different optics. And at this point, I can't tell if that's what he wants or if he doesn't realize.

Greater Los Angeles is about the size of the entire state of Delaware. There are about 18.5 million of us. We burn cars and wreck shit when the Lakers win. What do you think we’re gonna do now?

Exactly this. Go to TikTok. Look at the lives. It’s 400 people OUTSIDE LA, standing outside an ICE facility and they are making the ruling class shake. This is a sign of weakness on the part of the ruler: they are afraid and they can be stopped.

Absolutely wild that LA has deployed LAPD, DHS has deployed both ICE and CBP, now the white house is calling in the national guard. You'd think the wildest riot in history was going down in LA right now, but it's actually just a bunch of protestors mostly just standing around holding signs.

Yup. And if you haven't seen Dark Fate, it's anti-ICE. And a decent fun movie. Really got shortchanged at the theater.

Cops signed up to crack American skulls in their own neighborhoods. That's the job. Reservists didn't. And I can only imagine what happens when they run into a friend or family member in the protests.

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

I am floored at how many posts I've seen from people asking if LAPD would get involved to stop or de-escalate things with ICE. The LAPD couldn't de-escalate finding some illegal fireworks at a guy's house before a long weekend and blew up a city block. They're not going to de-escalate a thing.

Allowing myself to be bad at violin has been a hell of a journey, but one of my favorite parts was when I laughed as I realized there is absolutely no fucking way to google search and theory yourself into being good at it. The only way out is through.
