This whole 🧵.

The gunman no doubt thought of himself as a good person, as someone who was pro-life, but his ideology brought him to a place where he shot 17 bullets into a couple who got into politics to help get health insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida.

See, if the cops wanted to not be seen as the bad guys, they could just arrest that guy on the horse.

Wait, Bass said there were only 30k people out today? So often I wonder what city she is actually in.

Watching this old British spy show and the CIA guy is ranting about how the FBI had to have killed King and JFK and y'know...

Open conflict between the Republicans and the Catholics would be a scene

You absolutely can care about and fight for Palestine and trans rights and racial justice and environmental justice and land back and abolition and reparations and intersectional feminism and economic justice and healthcare and housing and education for everyone. It's actually all the same fight.

Ok if someone asks you how to prep for No Kings, don't warn them about kettles and tear gas, warn them about the literal sun. "Bring a hat, sunscreen, snacks, twice as much water as you think you need, and flag/sign of your choice. Wear comfy shoes. If your phone is old bring a battery pack."

the modal protestor is going to be a retired elementary school teacher in a big sun hat who wears her little-old-ladydom like armor. it is true that there are risks but the risks are not especially large.

“document of limitations” is a good phrase. i think about this whenever the fbi complains warrants burden investigations. like, yeah, that’s what they’re supposed to do.

The pastor “said at least five men dressed in plain clothes with faces covered and bullet-proof vests swarmed a man in the parking lot. The pastor said he came out of his office and tried to find out what was happening when one agent drew a weapon and refused to identify themselves.”

Starting to really appreciate typos in documents because it suggests my co-workers actually thought about and wrote the draft of what I'm reviewing

I deny their credentials as whales; and have presented them with their passports to quit the Kingdom of Cetology.

I love LA they put a trader joes across the street from trader joes

If New York elects a good mayor I'm going to be so jealous.

Tonight in so called riot torn downtown los Angeles I went to a launch party for a literary criticism tabloid paper at an art gallery and had a few complimentary beverages in the courtyard while the sunset turned the sky pretty colors and authors read snippets of their work.

1000 dollars in crypto lmao

Might have to go wave a sign outside the rose bowl for the games there.

make ice homeless so gavin does something about it

AI companies really just leaning into the what if we didn't have facts or truth but just enough vibes instead. I'm watching this old spy show and they keep decrying safe decisions made by committee so no one is to blame. They overlap

Yo, that's not a joke. It's a documentary.

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

We feed you. They hunt us.

Los Angeles FC crowd chants, "Fuck ICE."

Revisiting the classic album 10,000 Gecs and it is even better than I remember.

One reason I haven't given NYC a chance is that their government is always the worst, and I can get that in my favorite northwest cities. If they elect this socialist guy though I'm in. I think Paris has shown what real leadership can do for a metropolis. It doesn't have to be like this

My sense is that these aren't Trump centered protests, despite what everyone elsewhere seems to want. These are stop trying to kidnap our kids, friends and neighbors protests. And I'm not sure we want to see the level of repression that gets people to accept their kids being kidnapped by the state

When you think of it, sexual orientation is puritanical and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper Calvinist movement should seek to abolish it.

Diana Teran worked for years to root out misconduct in the LA Sheriff’s Department, but now she faces charges from the state AG related to that work. Critics worry it could chill local efforts to ‘police the police.’ boltsmag.org/the-cur...

The wizard is teaching a cantrip class at the library. They are learning prestidigitation today. It seems to be going badly.

Really not sure about the whole LA city budget going to cops and then using that to tear gas people objecting to their neighbors being abducted by the feds.
