The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

As I have written many times, Hollywood is the most ruthless center of American capitalism you can imagine, where every TV show is a startup with a burn rate in the millions per week and SIX WEEKS to prove it can succeed. Until private equity moved in to pillage it, it was cold-bloodedly pragmatic.

The head of ICE enforcement and removal HAS RESIGNED rather than sanction the unethical demands of the administration.

If you get hit in the head with a projectile (bean-bag round, blunt baton round, tear gas projectile, etc.) you need to get out of the fight. Even if you feel ok. Even if you were wearing a helmet. You need to go to a hospital and get checked out.

Texas, yes that Texas, is at 50% power generation from renewables. The only way out of a clean energy future now is government intervention on behalf of the fossil fuel crime syndicate, because free markets are carrying the transition now.

Solnit - « Behind these stories [blaming sexual assault victims, blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion, blaming liberals for the misdeeds of the Trump regime] is the assumption that some people matter more than other people, and that we who matter less have to pander to those who matter more. »

What separates journalism from stenography is independent reporting, verification and context. Trump calls in the National Guard for LA — note he did not do so for the insurrection. He says no one will spit on law enforcement, note he pardoned those who physically assaulted law enforcement Jan 6.

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

public support for interracial marriage only broke 50 percent in the mid-1990s. when my parents were born it polled at 4 percent among white people, now it polls at 93 percent among white people.

That Democrats, even now, insist on focusing on and blaming the progressive wing of their party for Trump is exactly how we entered the Nadir a century ago. White Americans and those who wanted to politically ascend abandoned Black people and oppressed groups to reunite politically with each other.

The arrest of union leader David Huerta is galvanizing a new element—solidarity: “Right now, just in the last 14 hours, labor unions are joining together from far and wide, communities are reaching out in ways I’ve never seen,” Orr told me. “Something is different.” www.latimes.com/california/s...
