“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

There’s been a lot written about the reactionary backlash to the 2020 protests but not enough about how much of Trump’s current shtick is driven by that night he got scared and had to hide in the basement.

always struck by how everyone who screams “we’re full” citing the strain on services is also viciously opposed to the safety net

I still think it's pretty wild that corrupt oligarchs destroyed the entirety of U.S. consumer protection and corporate oversight and it's barely written about by journalists or policy folks just not really of any serious interest

It’s the 2020s, we don’t have to engage with anybody who thinks this is a marketplace of ideas and you owe them a debate, when the reality is that they are a total stranger to whom you owe nothing, who is either bored at work or lonely at home.

day laborers who stand outside the Home Depot are the only men on this planet a woman alone will roll up to, invite to get in her car, tell them she has cash, and drive them to her house, feeling perfectly safe the entire time, and LA is never ever gonna let Feds fuck with them

Both Q-Anon and Anti-vax are, at their core, new forms of anti-semitic blood libel.

RIP to Sly Stone. Calling someone a genius has mostly lost meaning, except when you apply it to Sly. I'm glad Questlove gave him a revealing and rewarding documentary with SLY LIVES (AKA THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS). I wrote about it for @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

1) You can’t make a bigot money and still call yourself and ally. 2) The fact that WB is cranking out these “this actor is cool! Separate the art from the artist” weekly PR pieces means that Rowling funding the assault on trans rights is hurting their bottom line.

NEW: the LAPD reportedly used a helicopter unit to tell protestors they were on camera and “I’m going to come to your house.” The ACLU and EFF both say the statement is chilling: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously attempting to shape how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

As you watch ICE terrorize Los Angeles, remember: private prison companies are going to get very, very rich off Trump's cruelty.

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.

If you're a disabled person whose mobility devices are damaged at anti-ICE protests by the police etc and you have evidence of it, I'm always interested in you contacting me for a potential @motherjones.com story at [email protected] or signal: juliametraux.49.

Once again: in Trump's mind, no protest against him or his policies is peaceful and no acts committed on his behalf can be construed as violent.

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.
