Embarrassing for every reporter who has daily access to republicans and asks "what do you think about ____" instead of the most basic factual fucking shit

Good question.

L.A. Taco has confirmed with the family of 20yr old Adrian Andrew Martinez, who was taken by ICE while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is a US citizen who was speaking up for his coworker that was detained. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

REMINDER: When you see violence done by ICE agents or police keep in mind that they aren’t new hires. They weren’t just hired months ago. They were already there but knew they couldn’t act like this. Correction: They acted like this. But now they feel like they don’t have to restrain themselves.

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

They are saying that Lander (seen here being assaulted) assaulted the DHS officers. An unaccountable state reserves the right to both brutalize you and punish you for being brutalized.

A Black woman in a wheelchair found herself trapped among protesters. A line cook heading home feom work was caught in a cloud of tear gas, and an unhoused woman sitting on a bench was grabbed and shoved towards protesters. Read the full report by @shoton35mm.bsky.social lataco.com/homeless-get...

I want to list "Artificial Inteligence" in my bio, but I am not sure people would get it. Comedy is hard.

No Kings marches: * Over 2,000 marches * One day (so far) * ~11 million participants 👍🏿 Black Lives Matter marches: * Over 7,700 marches * Multiple days * ~26 million participants 👍🏿 Whoever told you 3.5% of the people protesting is some magic number for social change, lied to you.

Message to our members about the lawsuit we have filed over LAPD attacking press. Among reminders: "Above all, we hope you and your colleagues are OK. Some of you are not. Please take time for self care, your health and safety are more important than any story. " lapressclub.org/la-press-clu...

He is going golfing, y’all. Bet.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

Seeing the Club World Cup playing on turf is incredibly embarrassing. Seeing the players slide around, someone is going to get injured in Atlanta. The world’s game deserves better.

40 percent of the Dodgers fan base is Latino. The club has remained silent as brown-skinned people are targeted across Los Angeles. Dylan Hernández eviscerates the Dodgers clubhouse for its cowardice. www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

People forget about the “Obama phone.” The term was coined by conservatives who believed the administration was giving minorities free phones. What a different reality we live in. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Obama_p...

NYT last year: We're no longer going to endorse in local races. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/12/b... NYT as soon as a candidate they don't like has a shot at winning:

The Saudi tyrant that so many American oligarchs, sports professionals, and politicians are sucking up to has just murdered another journalist.

Expect this photo and this man to be made a hero by weird little guys who will follow in his footsteps like the previous weird little guys that are a certain demographic, support a certain political party and voted for a certain candidate yet are still called lone wolves.

Vance Boelter was an anti-transgender Christian Nationalist who delivered anti-queer sermons in the DRC, in case anyone was confused as to his political slant.

Imagine it’s your birthday and you throw a HUGE party for yourself, and barely anyone shows up. And those that do look bored. And then imagine that on your same birthday hundreds of thousands of people gather for parties in cities across the country because they hate you. A lot. Bummer for you.

🚨 Angel City has made the “Immigrant City Football Club” t-shirt available for sale. 🚨

Democracy dies in the open.

a great newspaper has never been destroyed from within faster

Your cops just tear gassed a bunch of elderly people and journalists

[email protected] just made me tear up. They are giving away these t-shirts at tonight’s game. Thank you. Mil gracias.

Wow, check out this thread. Like the first inauguration, the crowd size is undeniably small.

The ones turning to violence tends to be a certain demographic that aligns with a certain political party and voted for a certain candidate. It keeps happening with the same type of weird little guys. This isn’t just this year or eight years ago but this has been happening for decades.

The man who tried to assassinate Trump was a gun-loving Trump supporter who later turned on him. Right-wing media blamed Democrats, because of course. The alleged Minnesota shooter is an anti-abortion Christian nationalist w/ a list with other Dems as targets. They're still blaming liberals.

They are actively arresting peaceful protesters for wearing medical masks at the protests. Now if you are wondering how police are treating nonviolent protesters. Have a feeling this is going to turn into a thread of actions today

Nature IS healing

Hey! @lanacioncom.bsky.social did a mini profile on me and some of my work... and I love the headline: “MacGyver fue mi primera escuela de innovación” Translation: “MacGyver was my first school of innovation” www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/neg...

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it đź‘€

Minnesota has exceptional local news. @mprnews.org and @startribune.com know their communities and will steer you right.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Listening to Walz, and even though I've known and been warning for years now that this is where we were headed, political-violence-wise, I'm still just in shock. This whole week needs to be a wake-up call for all of us. We're in the fight of our lives here.

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.
