So all of Downtown Los Angeles is now under curfew from 8pm to 6am. As a resident, I'm somehow exempt though I don't know how I'm supposed to prove it. Despite that, I'm going to get a beer at 8:30 wherever is open because I refuse to modify my life to support Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: "Congress is nowhere to be found." "Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility. The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don."

The Democratic Party is actually pretty effective under strict institutional norms and rules. They whip votes and submit to leaders despite a big tent and diverse base When the norms and rules don’t apply (like now), the Democratic Party is a deer in the headlights

If you have made more posts about state property / vehicle destruction in LA than the genocide in Palestine you should probably pull off all your toes with pliers

So like, between the workwear guy, the LA scanner, Canary mission and the Palestine arrests, we gonna start admitting that posting on twitter is a severe threat to your own safety or are we in denial about that? Like Nazi bar yes but c'mon now this is self-preservation

“This is not our fight” is a naive position that reveals small-minded, homogenizing ideas of Black people as a whole, as well as Black history. Nearly every fight has been a Black fight because of internal diversity and because we don't have the luxury of not being targeted in every way possible.

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

This seems flatly indistinguishable from having them perform ordinary law-enforcement functions, which is (wait for it) illegal. Absent an invocation of the Insurrection Act, military cannot enforce domestic law against civilians.

This is why many of us on the academic side said that if troops get deployed in to blue cities, they will be used for anything The federal government wants them to do no matter what and they will never leave once stationed in a blue city, it’s an occupation of what they see as enemy territory.

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon. Win-win.

1. This is very bad "you should talk to your lawyer and shut up and especially don't go publicly say this" behavior. 2. There is absolutely nothing illegal in sharing the location of ICE or any other law enforcement activity. Not just it's constitutionally protected, there's no statute against it.

I have no problem with police showing up to a protest but their use of violence is undermining their legitimacy :/

I had a flash bang blow up in my face on Friday (rocked my shit) and got shot with a "less lethal" last night. I'll be good & it's nothing compared to the violence others are facing. Stay in the streets. Defend your neighbors. It's up to us and only us. Protect yourself. Look out for one another.
