In other news it’s absolutely gorgeous out in LA

It's bad reporting. Plain and simple. So many articles open with "Property Damaged!!!" "Force Used!" "Cops Attacked!" and you have to wait until half-way through the article to hear why the protests are happening in the first place. Really shoddy sensationalist, pro-authoritarian journalism.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

What’s most disturbing to me is how utterly complicit in anti-protest/er and pro-cop propaganda our news sources are. Utterly rejecting the validity of any aggression from protesters, making up lies to paint protesters as more violent, erasing any culpability of cops, ignoring protest context…

"First person to market wins. And while you can hope they're really thinking about the ethics behind this I also think there's an incentive... to push things out and gloss over some of the dangers." "I think not only is my ex-husband a test subject... We're all test subjects in this AI experiment."

Deploying the military on U.S. soil against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. This was always their plan, and people voted for it anyway. America failed an open book test.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

submitted 1 day ago • 103 comments

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.

Also, ICYMI: Trump and Hegseth have both threatened to deploy the Marines. Everyone, if you're not in CA and looking for a way to help? Demand your electeds call this out. Call them. Do it now. I'll defer to the lawyers, but deploying Marines => using the Insurrection Act.

I actually think that ridiculing fascists by being cool and doing silly things despite their efforts to look tough is a viable and effective strategy. You can win the propaganda war by flooding media with images like this.

Trying to take care of myself by… playing tetris, doing stretches and p/rehab for my QL, “greasing the groove” on pull ups- might give my lower back a recovery day from kettlebells.

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

You must swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

mass protest is not the right way to oppose fascism. the right way to oppose fascism is to shake your head and say “no thank you” whenever a fascist offers you some fascism
