not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

A favorite Molly Ivins quote, because this video embodies what she was encouraging: fighting for what's right should be a joyful thing. The rest of the quote: "And when you get through celebrating the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was!”"

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” Without invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

if you're not tuned into US politics you may see "LA County Sheriffs Department" and think that's just what they call their normal police but they are actually a network of violent organized white supremacist gangs with tattoos, a code of silence, initiation rites that require police brutality, etc

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.

Posting for @acatwithnews.bsky.social, who is out in Paramount, CA, where federal agents reportedly are conducting ICE raids, and have completely gassed out the neighborhood Photos from Sean, who understandably cannot post updates right away.

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

THIS IS AMAZING! Researchers have made a SIGNIFICANT breakthrough in the quest for an HIV cure. By developing a method that enables the delivery of an mRNA-based therapy to make the virus VISIBLE WITHIN white blood cells, this approach paves the way to FULLY CLEAR the virus from the body. 🧪🧵⬇️
