YOU - I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore.

hmm sorry friend, i would've loved to jerk off to this but sadly the characterization is a bit off and i can't stop focusing on it. yes it's important to me. you don't get it

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Newsom: The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.

we have almost a hundred years of comic book superheroes with secret identities. we should be able to figure this out. if you know who that skater punk is, no you don't.

You know how the hero who punched Richard Spencer on camera was never found? And how great that was? Leave the skater punk alone. Let him become an archetype.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

If you are going to attend an ICE protest, or any, ANY protest~ MASK UP. Cover any tattoos. No specific clothing. People have been caught. Don’t be one of em.

remember the person who punched Richard Spencer is free because no one said shit about shit.

Not everyone is or can be an on the streets type protestor. That doesn't mean you can't do stuff. Do what you can where you can, but do it. www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

Reminder that tear gas is a chemical weapon that is illegal to deploy in warfare, yet cops are allowed to blanket civilians in clouds of the stuff.

I was an immigration lawyer for about fifteen years. The people I met… the way they wanted to give their absolute best to this country, and then DID. Skills, ideas, beauty, culture… that’s what they bring. America is a nation of immigrants, and immigration is what made America.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

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."

Gassing neighborhoods full of children

Please PLEASE don't try to figure out who the skateboard kid is PLEASE if you're gonna make them a meme please leave the actualperson the fuck alone cops murdered visible protestors from Ferguson and 'fun' internet sleuthing is policing

What is the city but the people?

This is the only meme you need.

All of this. Any given protestor is Everybody and Nobody at the same time. You don't know who they are, you don't CARE who they are. They are your neighbor even if they're on the opposite side of the planet.

boundless admiration for the people out in the streets in LA right now. just incredible. if you've made a single ICE agent even a little bit more afraid, it's done a universe of good

It wasn't a warzone until cops armed for an invasion of Baghdad showed up

Totalitarian far-right government issues threat to deploy National Guard to repress political dissidents in Los Angeles, major United States city This comes after peaceful protests against racially-targeted brutality by federal security forces against disfavored ethnic groups

LA residents, please be aware:

This is @melbuer.bsky.social on Sean’s account, posting here since it’s his video: the moment that Sean and @ryannemena.bsky.social were injured by what may have been a tear gas canister fired from a line of HSI officers in Paramount, CA.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

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.

I’m so done with being told that I need to “think of the feelings of fascists” as if those are more important than human lives… Abolish ICE!

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.

i think most white americans who have never been Policed don’t realize that you are always already a criminal. the second anyone with institutional power believes you to be, needs you to be, or wants you to be a criminal you are and always have been.

On the East Coast NYPD are starting a brutal crackdown on an ice protests by civilians in the city

Sounds like the LA Sheriff’s department is experiencing some issues with gangs right now. Google “Los Angeles Sheriff Gangs” for more information

Didn’t expect this from Scientific American but here we are. (Article from 2020 but everything still relevant including COVID precautions)

briefly put on the "green games showcase" and was immediately hit with an ad for a game filled with ai art from a developer with a big page about their crypto integration. and people wonder why i remain skeptical of this style of 'games can save the world' rhetoric.

🎶 if he’ll drive you to the crime then he’s a fed if he’ll drive you to the crime then he’s a fed If he’ll drive you to the crime, you’re gonna do the time if he’ll drive you to the crime then he’s a fed 🎶

“you’re making the gestapo sad” is a hell of an argument

for those saying don't escalate you'll give them an excuse

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Oh uhhhhh I think #FutureGamesShow could avoid going to an LAPD station 😬

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water

Read the thread. This is happening in my country, in my city. I hope the ghouls responsible never know a moment's peace.
