To look for my happiness in the happiness of others, for my own worth in the worth of all those around me, to be free in the freedom of others — that is my whole faith, the aspiration of my whole life.

Inevitable response to sending HSI Special Response Team armored vehicles into a community, swarming the area with masked agents and flying a DHS/CBP helicopter over a neighborhood of hardworking families.

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...

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Cool ranch diplomacy

Trump wants nihilism to triumph - that's why they are trying to break LA - to criminalize solidarity. In the face of the collapse of this civilization, we have to find the strength to come together and build something new, without the dead weight of the ruling class and their economy of death.

The true nihilists of our age are not those who abandon institutions, fight police, & don't vote, but those who remain invested in a society where cruelty, suffering, insecurity, & death are the norm. If any meaning survives it can only be found in the abolition of such a society.

you feel like a big man, shooting an unarmed woman from behind? you fucking dickless cur. i hope you drown in your own piss.

SEIU California President David Huerta has apparently been charged with a federal crime--conspiracy to impede an officer. This is a felony that carries a sentence of six years in federal prison.

El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido motherfuckers Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Going to make the conscious decision to become a hurling fan

Hang in there Los Angeles.

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection. They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

They should have thrown Richard Milhous Nixon in prison pour encourager les autres. And Trump should have been put away for life at 12:01 pm on January 20, 2021.

Made it to the stands early for Irish batting practice at the hurling match.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

Leader of @seiuca.bsky.social was almost murdered by ICE. He now faces charges. The union, one of the largest in the US, is calling for a demonstration on Monday.
