The landmark hit "The Weight" by The Band is a song about trying to find a pet sitter when you're going out of town.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

This is a watershed moment. Senator Padilla getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Trump admitting his mass deportations are targeting hard-working people that are contributing vitally to the US economy. Trump sending troops into a US city that even local law enforcement didn't ask for. 1/

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

If California, 4th largest economy in the world, is socialist, then socialism works.

Holy fuck

Double.

In addition to how arrogant it is, it's also plainly naive and stupid to think you could do this without a response.

Guys, weed is legal in California

Newsom weirdly sucks at this. It's such a layup and he's fumbling it.

what you are seeing here is an attempt for the president to cultivate personal loyalty amongst special operations forces members directly to him by playing on neofascist sympathies via othering american citizens. i wonder why someone would paint an entire city as full of nonpersons. curious

Ugh god this is sickening

One of my programming rules is, for classical languages, don't pass arguments to instance methods. It makes the logic hard to follow later on.

the overall crime rate in Los Angeles last year was 3,115. in South Dakota it was 3,083.

Mayor Bass could have been better on MSNBC. I'm glad she's talking but could have been better through this whole affair.

She murdered her dog.

Really hard to understate how detached from reality the president is on this

They're playing into the King's hands with all these continental flags and such

One thing about this guy is he is too chickenshit to put his name on things that might fail.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Good statement, gotta hand it to her

the nytimes doesn't get LA and never will

Finally, good job @governor.ca.gov get down here and out on the streets bsky.app/profile/atru...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
