During the George Floyd protests i wrote about the media's bias against left wing protest and man has it aged well

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

Really begging news agencies to simply state who is escalating violence in this case.

Today would be a good day to mute radiofreetom once and for all

The people standing up to those Nazi fucks in LA are heroes.

Very close to reaching the goal!

The California legislature and city & county governments should file injunctions and draft emergency legislation prohibiting the quartering of now-federalized troops on private property including hotels under the Third Amendment. Make the Guard bivouac on the ground on federal property.

The information environment is about to get absolutely destroyed in the coming hours and days, especially if government forces and civilians get into protracted, kinetic or semi kinetic contact. Make sure you sharing factual information from good sources that are trusted. Share only facts etc.

The arrest of union leader David Huerta is galvanizing a new element—solidarity: “Right now, just in the last 14 hours, labor unions are joining together from far and wide, communities are reaching out in ways I’ve never seen,” Orr told me. “Something is different.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

Please help Eslam feed her siblings. She is a caring sister

Please help Ruaa and her family. Let them one day rebuild after such destruction

Please help Saeed and his family survive as food is still restricted and any available is outrageously expensive.

Please help adorable Miela and her loving family get the food they desperately need.

Please help Saeed and his family survive and one day rebuild their lives.

Please help Sahar provide food and treatment for Odai and his siblings. Let them one day celebrate their birthdays surrounded by friends and family without fear or hunger

Please help Hamam and his family survive. Let them hold on until they can walk under peaceful skies gofund.me/1735ef1

Please help Karam and his family survive

“Squared off”

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

This is the second day in a row that federal agents shot us both

It wasn't a warzone until cops armed for an invasion of Baghdad showed up

it appears to be official that for the first time in decades the president has federalized national guard troops and is sending them in to Los Angeles this evening. This is the statement from the White House It’s about to get very, very scary now. Be safe y’all. Fight for one another.

Of all the places to hold a law enforcement show of force, and you pick Los Angeles

Reporters @acatwithnews.bsky.social and @ryannemena.bsky.social were both just hit in the head with less lethals and tear gassed at the anti-ICE protests in Paramount, CA. Both seem to be mostly uninjured, if a little battered, checking in now. @adamrose.bsky.social

Both of these people were just doing their job and were not there to participate in the protest. These are journalists. Journalism is not a crime.

Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

immigrants belong in our community. ICE doesn't.

The administration at all of these lib institutions was offering up stories to the press about how proud they were to be cracking student skulls for sitting on the goddamn lawn which is like 90% of college tbh

I think we the people of the United States can and should stop funding the troops that are waging war against we the people of the United States.

It is because it is practical, clear, everyone knows what it means and the action you are demanding, and it's the basement re what has to happen.

Anyway solidarity with everyone in the streets today in LA and NYC.

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water

What I’m hearing is that @rokhanna.bsky.social is working to bring Nazis into the Democratic Party Go. Fuck. Yourself.

Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now. "Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

The cops don’t answer to the citizens. Moreover, they don’t even answer to mayors or other public officials. Through their phony “unions,” they follow only themselves as a separate entity with its own political interests and power. California law, for instance, means nothing to the LAPD.

abolish ICE and lock these agents in a dungeon.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

Do any of the authors dealing with the Unbound/Boundless situation have any horror short stories (<6000 words) in their catalogue anywhere, whether directly linked to Unbound or not? If so, please get in touch! Please share! 🦑

A poll-driven view of politics [and as a Data Person I often fall in that trap] can blind you to the basic human (*and* strategic) fact that the assertion of strength can *increase* strength. The 2nd paragraph is IMHO the perfect tone for organizational messaging today. via @aaronsojourner.org

Just been a very fascinating labor market story over the last 25 years around computer programming: 1) Dotcom bust and trend towards outsourcing craters job markets for programmers in 2001 2) Pipeline of college grads in computer science starts drying up as no entry level jobs are available...

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.
