Cops signed up to crack American skulls in their own neighborhoods. That's the job. Reservists didn't. And I can only imagine what happens when they run into a friend or family member in the protests.

My half brother was born in Germany, and became a US citizen at 18. He was pulled over for speeding recently in TN. The police officer asked if he was a citizen because he noticed an accent. My brother noticed the officer had an ICE badge on the back of his bullet proof vest.

Don’t play into this dude’s game. You will never, ever oppose fascism in the perfectly appropriate way to please him. This is the same guy who made fun of pro-choice protesters because he thought they were overreacting since Roe would obviously never be overturned.

you cannot impose martial law on the us even with armed police unless the citizenry feels like it. they are too heavily armed. the police would instantly lose any actual conflict the citizenry wasnt fully obliging them in peaceful protest.

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.

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

A slippery slope that actually matters! Once you start calculating someone’s value to measure their belongingness, you begin to lose sight of basic human dignity everyone deserves.

Head’s up. The Insurrection Act has not been invoked. This is against the will of the State of California #NationalGuard #USArmedForces

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care

My country is invading my state and that feels incredibly bizarre and sad to articulate

Bad shit happens when the military comes into to a volatile situation. This reminds me of a story from the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, to which some Marines deployed. I knew one of them and he told this story I also saw elsewhere — absent his telling it I would have assumed it was apocryphal. /1

there's no point!

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

I truly believe part of the reason this is happening in LA right now is because they want to scare us into not protesting for no Kings day. DT is actually worried he’s gonna lose the news cycle so he wants to make sure everyone is too scared. 1/2

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

In a democracy, law enforcement is accountable to the people — visible, named, and answerable. When ICE agents wear masks and conceal their identities, they’re not protecting themselves — they’re shielding abuse from public scrutiny. That’s not law enforcement. That’s fascism.

i was referred to as a solo dev frequently when bloodborne psx launched & it made me uncomfortable as it downplayed the amount of effort @art-mino.bsky.social, @thenobledemon.bsky.social & @funnywes.bsky.social so every interview i did i made sure to mention them to push away from this narrative

Why sheriff Taylor doesn't carry a gun. Clip from 'The Andy Griffith Show', season 5, episode 23. Broadcast on March 1st, 1965.

“i feel so helpless” dutch girls used to seduce german soldiers and stab them in the neck. you dont have to do that but you are not helpless.

Portland, Oregon 3 brothers are missing.

I feel like we aren’t making a big enough deal about how insane this is

Honestly, Internal Affairs (1990) is a great movie that deserves rediscovery to understand what's going on right now, as it doesn't bat an eye at presenting the LAPD as the organized crime outfit it is, with Richard Gere as a manveolent force of nature at the center of it.

seen some people complaining like "yet another Mass Effect wannabe" after the Expanse game announcement and like....I don't really think we actually got a surge of good Mass Effect-like games to the point where I got sick of them. Quite the opposite!

We've spent a good portion of the last decade with a lot to be angry about. It's ok to be angry. I think it's important to remember to put some good out there once in a while to counter all the bad. Don't let the Ugly stop you from sharing your Art. We need it more than ever.

Honestly, if you're in a battle and your side's wizard comes out to fight the other side's wizard, you should all just stop and watch the light show, because once those beardy fucks start chucking meteors at each other you're really not the deciding factor here anymore.

This but for Queer and Trans people (context in alt text)

I hope you all understand that in conjunction with US support of the genocide in Palestine, all signs point toward the current activities of ICE being the beginning of ethnic cleansing in the US.

elon musk deleted this and every post calling donald trump a pedophile 💔

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

they took a detour to rescue a boat full of migrants yesterday. this right here should be more popular than the goddamn stuck shipping vessel thing, this should be everyone's page-refreshing major event right now

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water

I am so sick of anyone saying that rising fascism is the fault of leftists, like have you not considered that it is the fault of your numerous family members, friends, colleagues, and neighbors who fundamentally hate other people and wish suffering upon anyone they deem lesser than themselves?

FUCK ICE

LAPD tear gassed, pepper balled and assaulted protesters to clear the way for ICE to conduct these raids. LAPD claiming it wasn’t involved is like a safecracker saying he didn’t rob the bank, he just opened the vault.

Reports that ICE ran a barricade and hit protesters in LA

it's pouring rain so he's making biscuits

“Human males are hardwired to be attracted to teen girls” is such a bizarre sentence to me because it suggests a teen girl is a discrete and easily identifiable being which is far from the case

Muttering ‘ ᶠᵘᶜᵏⁱⁿᵍ ᶜʰʳⁱˢᵗ ‘ to yourself but you keep drawing anyway is actually so important to the artistic process

oh it gets even funnier/better the author of FFT himself saw the memes and said, "damn, that sounds like me, wish I had actually written it into the game"

okay after so long online it's rare i encounter a totally new type of person flaming out in my mentions but "lady insulting me for being blonde when i am trying to find a job" is a new one on me

Blood libel is the classic antisemitic monstrously false claim that Jews use the blood of Christian children, and has been an excuse for pogroms and persecution for more than a thousand years. Cynical, dishonest, and dishonorable people try to redefine it as “criticizing Israel’s policies.”

"Don't murder Greta Thunberg and half a dozen other people in cold blood with US made weapons" gets a whopping 11 signatures in the House

FUCK. even though I think the loop is a bit bland at times, I have really enjoyed the jurassic world games. i won't touch this shit with a ten foot pole. not even sure I'd touch it if i got it in a humble monthly
