one big reason beltway journalists shouldn’t buy white house spin about los angeles is that the actual public opinion info we have doesn’t suggest the president has a winning hand here

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

I hate flag worship as a part of my disgust in nationalism. BUT Tactically, the optics of police and military assaulting people flying the stars and stripes hits different. And it can't be whitewashed by the media as easily. So 🇺🇸 it is.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

what i like about this post is it is an illustration of one of the most distinctive qualities of williams' work and mainstream punditry in general, which is a belief that history began a decade ago

This is really important context because folks are really underestimating how much the normalization of raids and slow genocide against the unhoused has been part of making ICE blackbagging and kidnapping seem more normal. They've normalized huge violent police actions on our streets

A few days ago people were saying that the LA protests were a bad look for the left and now you have A-list celebrities who were signaling their support for Trump/Musk a few months ago condemning ICE on their Instagram Stories. Funny how that works

During the Obama years, the national Democratic Party just basically ceded the statehouses to the GOP (which was exacerbated by certain structural issues) and those chickens are coming home to roost. www.npr.org/2016/03/04/4...

And it accomplishes NOTHING. Apple's "liquid glass design language" is an extreme case in form over function. It's comically bad. There is no logic behind it. How does making it look like your spilled water on your phone improve the UX of that toggle?! Apple has truly jumped the shark.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I really really did not like that but also it was telling how closely cropped the shot was, and how white the troops shown were. So I'm at least entertaining the possibility that the excitement there was staged
