I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

chat when should I go to sleep? 🔘 now 🔘 now

Someone did Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar over Canada’s national anthem beat and I apologize Canada I didn’t know your game like that with nice beats

Amen.

The two choices in every election.

trans cultural production is popping off rn more or less bc we all love working for free or almost nothing

there are cats older than ICE

Happy birthday Judy Garland! 🎉 Born on June 10, 1922 Judy is best known for her portrayal of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz film. She started acting at only age 2 and signed a contract with production company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at 13, later nom’d for an Academy Award for “A Star is Born” (1953). 🌟

twitter is NOT SAFE

True strength isn’t about individual might—it’s about the bonds we build. Because no force, no empire, no tyrant stands a chance against people who stand together.

The Lord of the Rings films are older than ICE. The Matrix is older than ICE. Legally Blonde is older than ICE. We're not talking about a venerable American institution. We're talking about post-9/11 Patriot Act overreach. Claw that power back. Destroy ICE.

I know there's a lot going on right now and one thing that's going on is the Trump admin is trying to roll back rules for making new buildings accessible. There are six days left to make comments about it.

Calling on the Marines is CRAZY. Full stop.

sending 500 marines to a county of nearly 10 million people to stand around holding their dicks with nowhere to sleep is not actually the sign of a successful declaration of martial law

It is not sticking your head in the sand about fascism to think that the guys who didn’t think about where 2,000 people would sleep are maybe not operating from a position of strength

gavin newsom going super saiyan after hearing there are people sleeping outdoors

i personally do not think the administration is actually prepared for what happens if they are facing mass protests in every major city in the country

Anti-ICE protest in DTLA 6/6/25. For @calmatters.org

why are we asking rapists how to make democrats more attractive to them?

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!!

the thing about this is that these guys don’t actually want blunt talk; blunt talk would be things like “you’re a sexist and a bigot whose contributions to culture have been overwhelmingly negative, and you frequently respond to mild criticism like a child”

Congress: You can and should impeach Trump - now.

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

The most dangerous moment of any abusive relationship is the part where you’re preparing to leave. That’s when the violence escalates, that’s when the stakes get ramped up. That’s where we are with ICE.

What's going on in LA should be a real wakeup call for folks who don't already know that a fully liberal government can still wind up a police state and without some major change to the way we talk about the militarization of policing, nothing will get better

The fascists are waging war. They see the fight in those terms. Liberals and progressives do not.

In addition to what Kelly correctly points out, adding "peaceful" in front of shit isn't doing the work you think under fascism and please get it through your heads that you are living under fascism. Adjust accordingly.

los angeles, we are about to be in for a BRUTAL few months but on the other side is a much, much better world

I love los angeles Fuck ICE

How? This happened while Obama was president.

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

The basic fallacy in chasing votes by being "tough on immigration" is that the modal American's position on the issue is "Deport the Bad ones and keep the Good ones," and they alone know who is which, and that simply does not translate into workable policy. So this kind of gestapo stuff (1/2)

They are the 'protest the right way people' who never actually protest anything. Good to ignore them.

Full solidarity with Los Angeles as they fight an invasion of gestapo and the long-standing fascist occupying force that is the LAPD.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.
