Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

This is the first act of violence I have seen today and, it is LAPD against an elderly man.

Guy just did for parades what he did for steaks, airlines, and casinos.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

You’re laughing. DOGE fired the guy who oils the squeaky tanks & you’re laughing.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Here we see the Washington Post once again being a pathetic boot-licking shadow of their former well-respected self.

Is there a soundtrack to the current resistance? 60s and 70s have such a distinct collection of music, as Fortunate Son reminds. Haven't yet heard a sound for the current time but I hope it emerges.

#NoKingsDay

It seemed like the event was designed to be gloomy, drab, and deflated. Such poor production values for a TV event. It's very on brand for a short-fingered vulgarian, though.

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired

Drop your favorite protest sign

This is Austin, where protesters are being kettled and gassed. Guess who the Austin city manager is: T.C. Broadnax. In Dallas, during the 2020 George Floyd protests, protesters were kettled, gassed and shot with rubber bullets. Guess who the Dallas city manager was: T.C. Broadnax.

Check out @uzzamodea.bsky.social account for reporting on the Portland #NoKings protest.

President Trump’s decision to pause most immigration raids targeting farms and hospitality workers took many inside the White House by surprise. It came after intensive lobbying by his agriculture secretary.

Enjoying watching Trump's military parade on BBC and France 24 because it is a wonderful embarrassment for Trump. As the French commentators point out, the American sodiers don't know how to march & don't seem enthusiastic about doing so for Trump. /1

Scenes from earlier as police attack protesters during No Kings in downtown L.A. @chopemdownfilms.bsky.social

Following today's massive "No Kings" march in Portland, federal agents have begun firing tear gas and less-lethal munitions at a crowd of roughly 500 people at the ICE facility on Macadam Avenue. Stay tuned to the Mercury for the latest.

Dang it pays even less than Spotify

Protesters from No Kings Day are jumping fences to avoid being kettled and arrested by police in downtown L.A. One older woman in a wheelchair has been surrounded by police. ~ @shoton35mm.bsky.social

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Am I stupid or does this mean, for all intents and purposes, the end of these stupid mass deportations? How do you round up people if they can just say, "Sorry man, I'm a critical avocado picker?" And if he's carving out exemptions for farmworkers, hotel workers, why not for everybody else?

“Brian Wilson: At My Piano" was originally released in 2021, so listening to this now after his death adds a poignancy to the experience. It's his greatest songs stripped down to just the piano, and confirms the genius of his melodies. www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/at_m...
