America is so fucking good at propaganda you have no clue how good we do that shit. The best to ever do it

This sums it for me “Baudrillard: Even if there were no Americans living in the United States, there would still be America. France is just a country; America is a concept. Deborah Solomon: Are you saying that America represents the ideal of democracy? Baudrillard: No, the simulation of power.”

This thread is a work of art. Ot fashion, I guess.

Holy … shit

Now would be a good time to Read "In Defense of Looting" by Vicky Osterweil

honestly inject this shit right into my veins

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

The psychosexual politics of trumpism remains under discusssed

so true queen 🫴🍎

To shock and horrify people? Do they think this will make them look justified?

The only upside is I have gotten a few texts from people in the 0-1 to 0-3 range that are shitting their pants and very much understand the implications…

the norms of civ-mil relations in the US are dead. They were wobbly before Trump, but he has killed them. He is dragging the US military into partisan politics, and yeah ....

it really speaks to how trump does not see himself as a steward of the white house or the presidency but as its owner. he will do with it as he pleases.

imagine having so little honor for your profession that you just take this

"What we are witnessing in Los Angeles is not only a protest; it is self-defense." Fuck yeah, @melissagiragrant.com. Read and share this. newrepublic.com/article/1963...

Lol I'm old enough to remember seeing a bunch of people say the military was gonna save us

This is *really* bad. These are the people Trump is going to order to shoot protesters. Looks like many of them will do it gladly.

Listen to the cheers.

ICE appears to confirm that California National Guard are being used to provide security to ICE officers during immigration arrest operations.

This directly correlates to the restaurants that have staying power. Getting a 4 star review in the paper is great for a quick buck from the trendy set, but being a neighborhood joint where locals come in 3 times a week for your beef stew means you'll live forever.

It’s actually not even close. California provides $83B more in taxes than it gets back annually. The next closest state is New Jersey, with a $28.9B tax deficit. www.cbsnews.com/news/califor...

this keeps getting more and more deranged. good luck in court, naziferatu

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

WATCH: after we got shot last night, our comrade/lawyer @shakeer.bsky.social went over to ask for the pigs badge # & name. LAPD pig Rick Linton then told (& did) Shakeer that he was going to shoot if he kept asking questions. This is unhinged behavior! @mayor.lacity.gov has completely ok’d this!

With anti-ICE protests happening across LA and nationwide, protecting yourself from surveillance has never been more critical. Here are steps you can take to protect yourself and others before, during, and after protests. Access the full toolkit here: www.stopspying.org/protest

State and local munis should start deputizing targeted communities, giving them the means and legal cover to detain masked unidentified persons claiming to be ICE on kidnapping and false imprisonment charges.

"The transfers to Guantanamo could start as soon as Wednesday..."

He can’t wait to start killing protesters. He’s been wanting to do this for years.

they illegally fired all the Dem FTC commissioners so they could do shit like this instead of their actual jobs

This is exactly what I mean when I mention my ancestor's service in the United States Colored Troop during the Civil War. People mistake that shit for patriotism and that ain't it at all.

Los Angeles, 2025 📸 afpphoto

i think it's not great, actually, that eight-figure executives keep their salaries and their stock options by making 13-year old boy promises to destroy the entire fabric of civilization to their boards and stakeholders

Incredibly chaotic scene Los Angeles as LAPD is pushing forward a skirmish line and violently arresting anti-ICE protesters. You can also hear me grunt when police shoot me in the abdomen with some kind of projectile.
