Newsom is a fucking monster 100%.

It's remarkable how the liberal take on the protests is a demonstration of the why of their inaction. Literally "don't do anything daddy doesn't like because then he'll be forced to hit us with the belt again" never realizing that the mfer hits you whenever he wants.

Tapping the sign

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

I feel like maybe the framing of Trump sending the military to put down protests as a "feud" between Trump and Newsom is a little weird?

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

Marines are being deployed to LA now; DOD lawyers are talking about working out the “rules pf engagement.” Think about what that language means. Because it’s very very very bad.

The random people at the spontaneous protest that popped off because they saw the busboy at their neighborhood restaurant being kidnapped by ICE should have planned the optics better

Americans need Maidan. There is no turning back and there is no easy way out of this.

This song feels prescient... except maybe we'll see them eventually in Mississipoli. youtu.be/HHhZF66C1Dc?...

los angeles looking up and seeing other cities joining the fight

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Oh dang. Did an AR-15 get a cis dude to delete a bad take? 🥺

If you people start rehabilitating Gavin Newsom over this I will speak the seven secret names of God and end the world

People be like "President Trump launching nuclear missiles to give us the sweet release of death via vaporization is a distraction from his other scandals and terrible policies. Don't fall for it."

A truly cowardly way to say zionist occupation forces kidnapped a boat full of aid workers Zionism will fall and Palestine will be free

crimethinc.com/2025/01/28/i... "If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you. Give them nothing without a fight."

True story bro.

If I speak...

Thinking of Greta Thunberg (and co) and those being attacked by ICE in LA. Lot of horrible stuff going on right now but also A LOT of people standing up for what's right.

I think Greta Thunberg is the best example of how there is no way of protesting that will satisfy the scolds. It'll either be called too aggressive or a self-serving publicity stunt.

Every member of law-enforcement is complicit in what they are and what they have always been, which is a white supremacist wealth protection racket. If you want American fascism to never be an issue again, we can never have police in this country based on slave catching and wealth preservation.

People keep saying that Trump's authoritarian actions are backfiring on him. At the same time, people say this is what he wants. I think he /does/ want his crackdown, and the answer isn't to not give him what he wants. The answer is...

fantastic thread. this is what radicals mean by diversity of tactics - employing them in specific, calculated situations, and not because your favorite liberal influencers feel scared when the word "violence" is uttered.

I just got temporally bulled. Clearing out some old stuff of mine that I forgot I even owned and apparently someone wrote on the back of a folder of mine. "Fucking fag" Bullying well over a decade in the making. lmfao

So I just found a book I didn't know I owned: "chronicles of the great rebellion, 1864". Irony of ironies that it would return to me so close to a potential new civil war.

child me: I can't wait to see what the future holds 2025 me: there are endless robots but they suck so much that wanting to date or be friends with one is a huge red flag child me: ok but it sounds like you're doing a bit to avoid telling me something worse 2025 me: yeah... yeah we'll do that a lot

The corporate democrats and their mouthpieces are starting to panic as they lose what remained of their ability to lie about the fact they are doing nothing to stop fascism and reality is outstripping their pr machines ability to blame the left and others instead of themselves.

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

Absolutely wild that LA has deployed LAPD, DHS has deployed both ICE and CBP, now the white house is calling in the national guard. You'd think the wildest riot in history was going down in LA right now, but it's actually just a bunch of protestors mostly just standing around holding signs.

nearly the entire SS got off scot free from Nuremberg. most of the Einsatzgruppe were allowed to live peaceful lives. our grandparents fucked up the peace. don't make the same mistakes.

LA Pride is today. 🏳️‍🌈✊
