"Police Riot" really is a phrase that should be used more often these days www.thenation.com/article/acti...

"White." He means he'll make LA white again.

Well, we all saw this bs coming.

<thread> Hegseth expands Guard's orders dramatically today Declaration by California Military Department (CMD) Deputy GC: "CMD was informed ... Guard units would be providing support for counter-immigration operations across Los Angeles, in communities during immigration enforcement operations..."

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

The president has declared that any Americans exercising their right to protest — not committing violence, just voicing their opinion — will be met with a “very heavy force”

Mfw I say "both sides suck" but only when it's the GOP being criticized and I'm dead silent or in agreement when the Dems are being criticized.

Its because 99% of the time "I'm not very political" is code for "I got some extremely conservative views, but I don't want to upset my liberal audience."

Either there is equality for all or there is equality for none.

"A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles" That's the America I was raised to believe in. That's the America worth fighting to save.

Andor Season 2 came out at a great time.

THESE MOTHERFUCKERS

I presume this is next Monday? Otherwise, I missed another chance to head down to Detroit it seems.

guys will be like "these people are ruining america" and it'll be a picture of the coolest guys ever

I can’t believe Ukraine is fighting a dirty war by hitting bombers with bombs in a sneaky way while Russia fights so cleanly

Decades of militarization of domestic law enforcement and the general fetishization of martial culture coming home to roost.

I miss Joe

one thing i think about is how a lot of the post-Nazi german accountability stuff we think about wasn't pushed by the generation that survived the war, but their children

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Thoughts and prayers for the MAGA warriors who are being personally traumatized by this scene

To Trump and Co., the fact that LA gradually became a majority-minority city constitues an invasion. Because nothing done by people of color, women, queerfolk or transfolk is ever legitimate to them. Trump wants America to be a Herrenvolk state.

It is amazing that everything is so baked in at this point that the nearly 80 year old president tripping up the stairs while his scheming vizers get his signature to federalize NG troops for a non-existent protest is met by the media with a collective 🤷🏻‍♂️

"The continued and inexplicable Ghorman resistance to Imperial norms..."

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

This can only end so well

Wow...and people wonder why there's not much trust in authority these days.

LONG HOT SUMMER HELL YEAH WOOOOOOOO

Time to bring back the Democrats roots!...Minus the racism bits.

Great video, particularly relevant in our day and age. youtu.be/aHkGrsX3akE

What are the odds Roof Koreans make a return?

Wherever there are pigs trying to scare you, there are Punks telling them to fuck off and die. Sure as the tides.

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

Godspeed to the gallant people of Los Angeles. I pray that all people who know what the right thing to do is, especially myself, find themselves with the courage to do it when they need to.

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

Took POTUS Hoover 4 years to have veterans rise up against his opposition to their benefits. The second Trump presidency has its own Bonus March within half a year because he's firing 80k VA workers and contemplating privatization. No patriot can support this administration

This is the social media equivalent of Maoist China's Three Loyalties: "Loyalty to President Trump, Loyalty to Trump Thought, Loyalty to President Trump's Revolution Line"
