Every time RFK is in the news for doing something horrific (example: firing the entire vaccine safety board), I become increasingly more disgusted with Olivia Nuzzi. What a gross weirdo.

They've been trying to numb us for a long time. Fascism. Oppression. Genocide. All on display. They want us desensitized, to think it's just the way the world works when deep down we know it is unnatural. Don't let them take away the feeling from you. It's uncomfortable because you're human.

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

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.

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE. He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously attempting to shape how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

The deployment of Marines to Los Angeles was uncalled for, rushed, and potentially dangerous for everyone involved. We’re demanding answers from Sec. Hegseth. This isn't just a California problem. What Trump does in Los Angeles could become the authoritarian blueprint elsewhere in the country.

I look forward to Stephen Miller being tried for his crimes against humanity--along with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem--and receiving the most severe penalties allowed by law.

when I see the Little Tokyo looting and the burning waymos pumped to the very front of youtube, instagram and facebook on my normie, non-political burner accounts I get the impression we're speed-running BLM 2020.

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

DOGE was never about better government. It was about using government to serve the self-interests of the wealthy and billionaires—not veterans, not families, and not democracy. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/what-mu...

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

We do not and have never had an immigration "problem" or an immigration "crisis" in this country. We do, however, have a xenophobia and racism problem, and it's getting worse.

Rep. Aguilar: "U.S. code...cites 3 examples and circumstances for the guard...invasion...rebellion...or the president is unable to execute the laws of the U.S." Hegseth: "I don't know...Sounds like all three to me." Rep. Aguilar: "You think the president is unable to execute the laws of the U.S.?"

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

I think because some part of me wanted to feel better about our own situation, I've been reading Mao's Last Revolution, about the Cultural Revolution. At one level, boy yes, a reminder of how much much much worse politics can get, but also more than a few moments of recognition that are discomfiting

I'ma tell you all what I tell my clients. You feel bad because it is bad. You are unmotivated to go to work because the world is on fire & the government is sending people to kidnap children and adults & maiming people who try to stop them. You are having a normal reaction to obscene circumstances.

1. When Trump ran for office, he pledged to "restore free speech." Then, as president, he deployed the military against people protesting his immigration policies. This wasn't an isolated incident It is part of an attack on freedom of speech, targeting anyone who does not share Trump’s ideology

Sharing this piece from 2020 with my LA reporter friends. Now is a good time to be asking about weapons use policies for less lethal munitions. My good friend @jlevinson.bsky.social did so back during Portland's big protests and there were plenty of misuses happening.
