there was more civil unrest after the Eagles won the Super Bowl and you didn't see any Marines getting mobilized

I think about this at least twice a week

Always remember:

There are millions and millions more of us than there are of them. Remember this

Look at my opposition party dawg

only six months in and we're already deploying the national guard on the american people, jesus

If Andor was written by liberals, it would be a whole bunch of liberal pretentious "peaceful protest" nonsense, where they aren't portraying real resistance to imperialism, militarism, and fascism, but dramatising and glorifying the resistance. Kinda the way they did in that Hunger Games nonsense.

no

they should consider suicide

The U.S. military has been ordered to attack Los Angeles. That's where we are now.

Update from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition: "🚨🚨🚨 Connection has been lost on the ‘Madleen’. Israeli army have boarded the vessel. Around 2:30 EEST Sunday 9 June- Prior to the illegal boarding by Israel."

They’d find nothing, drive around confused and wind up throwing a confusing tantrum in the Van Nuys In N Out drive through like OC and IE chuds always do when people ignore them and nothing pops

Jewish Physician and infant holocaust survivor, Gabor Mate, reaffirms his support for the Gaza Freedom Flotilla — @freedomflotilla.bsky.social. Speaking from Poland near the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising memorial, Mate sends a message to the crew of The Madleen.

Wait till you get to the answer!

we’ve been in a constitutional crisis for a while now

So what I think, generally, about the calls to activate President Obama: A lot of people are still mourning the collapse of the Obama public administration coalition. It should have built careers, new power alliances, etc. But, well, a lot happened. Not least of which - he wasn’t interested.

American liberals will say shit like: "Yeah, I'm part of the Left (which isn't true cos Leftists are socialists and communists)!" And then condemn any semblance of resistance to capitalism, white supremacy, and imperialism. We're probably going to see more of this with the ICE riots...

The greta video

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

It is pathetic how easily network news executives let right wingers manipulate them. Terry Moran rightly calls Stephen Miller a hater driven by bile, and ABC News accepts the idea that this is “unhinged” behavior. Critiquing people abusing their power is the JOB of journalism.

when henry viii died they didn’t want anyone to know it yet (for political reasons) so they kept up appearances by having meals delivered to his room to make it look like he was still alive. so, ya know, just keep that in mind for the future.

the pigs never seem to run out of munitions but it's definitely impossible for us to feed the poor

Using this to break ACAB down for anyone who still doesn’t understand. Let’s agree the shooter is a bastard. The others should have prevented him from firing, and after he fired he should have immediately been taken out. He felt comfortable enough to fire because he knows he will get away with it.

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

We've been declared to be in a state of rebellion. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

We were bamboozled by Republicans’ cunning strategy of advertising to Spanish speakers in Spanish.

if you care about a couple insured waymos you are exceptionally stupid

Cannot express how big the disconnect is between what Angelenos are seeing/saying to each other right now and what delusional rabid conservatives are barking online. I know it's par for the course, but this is another level.

I'm sorry but expecting civilians to follow the law when law enforcement is out openly committing crimes left and right is a joke. Either we have a system here or we don't. Pick one.

More straight up illegality by ICE. This is crime.

Outside observers are hoping that the United States of America will look to the western nations like Mexico and adopt strong democratic institutions with checks on police power and their presidential executive

The ruling class doesn't care in the slightest about the human cost of their actions, but will lose their minds at the destruction of property. I've once seen a wealthy person furiously scold their house cleaner for breaking a vase. They treated that vase better than they did the house cleaner.

Thoughts and prayers for the MAGA warriors who are being personally traumatized by this scene

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

That’s what the radio free programs sponsored by the cia used to always tell the people in communist countries . Right guys?

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

I try not to quote dunk — but this is too important. These are *protests* being violently suppressed. And telling people not to protest for fear of right-wing backlash has a long history in the US — and it doesn’t look good in retrospect.

Cram it, lady.

They are not doing this because they need to. They are doing this because they want to. They manufactured a (pretty pathetic) excuse to do this, but deep down they are doing this because they relish treating blue states and cosmopolitan cities as conquered territories.
