Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

I want to know why police are intentionally damaging their own vehicles #immigrationprotests

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Authoritarians count on fear and confusion. Be prepared. Stay calm, stay safe, & stay informed. This ACLU guide is essential for every protester. Share it. Print it. Carry it. Power comes from knowing where you stand.

Double.

What we’re actually seeing is much worse: An attempt to end politics as we know it, to deploy force to suppress dissent. Not eventually, but right now

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Welcome to authoritarianism. 🇺🇸

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial form of bleach used for things like bleaching lumber. “Wellness” freaks use it as a miracle cure to “remove parasites,” which is usually the lining of the intestines sloughing off from industrial bleach exposure. They give it to kids, too, usually to “cure” autism.

A cheer for Rosa here!

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

NYC and Dallas, Texas have entered the chat!! Resistance MELTS ICE!

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

“My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement.” Will someone please tell him these things aren’t happening in LA?

Is there no way t counteract this?

a military assault on the people of Los Angeles is not a "distraction." Trump can do more than 1 bad thing at once. Can we please cut it out with this "distraction" bullshit? It's confused, wrong-headed, & insulting to the people who r actually being targeted right now for kidnapping and violence.

the cops are not in fact 'out of control.' this is US policing.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

This!

Newsom: California will sue the federal government over the deployment of the National Guard to L.A.

For anyone who doesn’t live in Los Angeles or understand the geography of the city, the area is actually quite small where police are currently rioting.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

"We are sad that the journalist didn't dodge the projectile that chose to go towards her" said her employer. Read more: chaser.com.au/general-news...

Let's speak plainly: The violent theatre of the ICE raids - with federal agents masked to hide their identities as they train lethal weapons on U.S. citizens & immigrants alike - & the stated plan to dispatch National Guard to Los Angeles all speak of a regime thirsty for blood.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

"They had Mexican flags!!! People should only be allowed to to have the Stars and Stripes, not flags of a countries we were once at war with!!! They should be arrested for this!!!"

Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

This would not make the news on Halloween in Dublin, even. You've got to burn down a structure or a park for that.

We’re heading toward armed confrontation. Everybody ready?

Here are some nice mushrooms

Things on my wish list.

Nice analysis

A bouquet of little mushrooms 🍄🌿🥰 #nature #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography

Or consider making a donation to a veterans organization that helps with PTSD. Please consider doing this. It doesn't have to be an either or thing, one could do both fireworks and donate. .

Elon posting on X that Trump “is in the Epstein files” was definitely not on our bingo card.

If any marginalized group has to fight for equal rights…then our systems and laws are NOT equal. Read that again. Take all the time you need.
