Wow almost like the statement we were upset about that she made revealed a fundamental misunderstanding of the issues and shows she at least to some extent agrees that trans inclusion is an “problem“ to solve

Newsom is literally sending cops from around the state to come brutalize us in LA. He was *literally* throwing poor people’s belongings away with his own hands. Fuck Gavin Newsom.

Karen Bass is such a spineless little worm. How the fuck does Gavin come off looking better than her. Way to say nothing of substance beyond playing into the narrative. Gods, they're all so fucking stupid.

This is right out of the dystopian scifi we've long had. It was predicted by experts, art, activists, anyone who gave a damn. It was predictable because it was already present in existing forms of surveillance and control going all the way back (and beyond) to things like the Fugitive Slave Act.

It’s tempting to think things like, “Well, at least these fascist authoritarians are incompetent clowns. Imagine if they were as efficient as the Nazis?” Except that the sadistic brutality of their tactics often obscures the actual history — that the Nazis were often shocking incompetent clowns.

Trump wants nihilism to triumph - that's why they are trying to break LA - to criminalize solidarity. In the face of the collapse of this civilization, we have to find the strength to come together and build something new, without the dead weight of the ruling class and their economy of death.

Nuremburg Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

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.

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?...

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.
