Feeling a lot like I did in early days of the pandemic these days. It is so clear what’s coming: The people that will die because of cuts in global health, because of cuts to research, because of the concerted anti-vaccine push. It’s clear what’s coming, but we will have to wait to count the dead.🧪

Pretty much all of us covering the protests over the last week have gotten targeted by police in some manner: Shot at with "less-lethals", illegal searches, harassment, forced to disperse despite penal code 409.7, detainment, etc.

Too bad there is no organized opposition party that could in one clear voice support the protesters.

LAPD appears to have kettled protesters around 7:45pm to prevent them from leaving, waited for the 8pm curfew to kick in and then mass-arrested them for curfew violations.

I was at a car wash in Culver City today that was raided twice last weekend by ICE. 25 car wash workers and 1 customer have been kidnapped over the past several days, and the whereabouts of most of them is unknown. I spoke to families of the kidnap victims: prospect.org/justice/2025...

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

It is pretty darn rare that the APA comes out with a statement like this, nevermind 2 months ago before things felt this dire. Judge Reyes said it best when she inquired, "You do understand, don't you?" These are facts whether or not you believe them.

Sending in the military against the wishes of the people and their governor isn't law and order, it's an invasion.

a lot of the people who will chastise you for criticizing Dems instead of focusing on Trump are surprisingly willing to criticize protestors instead of focusing on Trump

What are the odds that Trump and the DUI hire he put in charge at DOD are going to do something incredibly stupid to distract from their unpopular authoritarian moves in California?

There seems to be an idea that political pundits care about public polling. They do not. They care about disciplining the Lefts. The polls they uplift are in service of this.

It’s unbelievable that a lot of news organisations keep reporting as if Trump is popular. He is not. His administration and his agenda are not.

Miller says he wants to demographically cleanse "huge parts" of Los Angeles until everyone in the city knows each other, and it's not a "society of strangers" anymore. We are talking about dystopian nightmare here. He's the apocalyptic prophet with an army.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Here's the plan, and it's genius: First, I send in ICE. Then, I send in the National Guard to protect ICE. Finally, I send in the Marines to protect the National Guard.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...
