So I got real mad and went to town in somebody else's comments last night (not at them) but I think it's a topic that deserves more attention so here we go: Why I talk so much shit about cops in general but LA-area cops in particular and openly cast doubt on their claims every chance I get

Seventeen people were killed by "non-lethal"/"less than lethal" weapons like rubber bullets during the conflict in Northern Ireland, including a 10-year-old boy. We've known these weapons can kill since the 1970s. www.patfinucanecentre.org/state-violen...

One of the memes on the left is about how cops can contain one 1000 person march but not ten 100 person marches and honestly just having two marches in the same city a small distance away from each other can debilitate a police force

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

I hate that we've been pushed to this point, but we might be forced to leave Washington and move back to Oklahoma if we can't get this handled. Please, if you're able to help out, or even simply share this, that would make a tremendous difference for my wife and me.

This is actually smart. ICE can't do anything about protesters in cyberteucks or else they'll finally be labeled as terrorists.

As of 2021 there were 900,000 law enforcement officers in the US and about 1.5 million in the US military. Assuming every single one of them cooperates with anything Trump asks (which they won't), that still puts them about a half-million behind the number of folks who attended Hands Off.

A few years back, @idothethinking.bsky.social and @muhammadspeaks.bsky.social wrote a piece about how California is the least-welcoming state in the U.S. when it comes to immigrants -- because of our housing policies. That's still true today. While we're protesting. For immigrants' rights.

I took my 90 year old grandmother to tea at the Huntington. Then my kids and I went to a Taiwanese bakery. There are no riots.

And as I always harp on when this comes up— not just cervical cancer! HPV causes penile cancer, anal cancer, head and neck cancers. It is important for people of every gender to get the vaccine, and in the US you can get it up to age 45

This is still one of the best ways to limit deportations. Stop collaborations between ICE, local police departments, sheriffs, and county jails.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

"Working people everywhere should see this as an attack on working-class people, and they should all unite in solidarity to repel these attacks against our community. And so, again, we’ve proven time and time again, when we organize ourselves, we can defend ourselves." -Ron Gochez, Unión del Barrio

Kennedy's massacre of the ACIP panel is a continuation of the Trump Regime's eugenics — they are trying to kill disabled, immunocompromised and chronically ill Americans; that's the outcome they want because they do not view us as fully human. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...
