sending 500 marines to a county of nearly 10 million people to stand around holding their dicks with nowhere to sleep is not actually the sign of a successful declaration of martial law

Absolutely. This is the message. Not only make it clear to those who didn’t expect it, force those who WANT this to defend it

Also, apropos of nothing in particular, if anyone tries to tell you that the protests in LA are a distraction from the budget bill, kindly remind them that the bill will MASSIVELY expand ICE’s budget, so the two things are very much related.

I encourage people who hold the overall correct view that protests have better optics when the protesters are carrying American flags to Be The Change and bring big American flags to protests themselves.

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

Was wondering what the Highway Patrol was doing there and then saw, oh, they're literally on the highway.

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

Shocked that all it took was a fascist stunt for Trump to get Elon kissing his ring again.

Wonderful thread about my city.

Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

Hey look at that someone read the statute! Just to put a sharper point in it, this means everything that’s going on with the national guard right now in Cali is illegal as well as horrifically unnecessary and harmful

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

From what I gather, Californians are supposed to shut up and take it because our beliefs and values are upsetting to Americans who don't like Latinos. Nobody needs to hear our point of view. Shhhhhhh.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

i don't give a flying fuck if Bluesky is an "echo chamber." i'm on here to shitpost and be self-absorbed and weird, not to earn a Boy Scout badge for "most meritorious use of social media" or whatever the hell these goofballs are on about.

I want to be clear on this: the reason for the unrest in LA is these are LEGAL immigrants who are doing EXACTLY what they are supposed to by going to ICE check ins that many have been doing for years, and seeing them getting rounded up including at naturalization preparations.

The illegitimate, lawless, and authoritarian regime in control of the government of the United States is at war with the people of the United States.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

Stephen Miller got caught repeatedly trafficking in white nationalist rhetoric and conspiracy theories and an ABC News reporter got suspended for calling Miller hateful

Came up in a different context....okay, maybe not that much of a different context....but in any case, someone else posted I Love L.A., so here's some other native sons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZvT...

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Trump's stumble on the steps up to Air Force One highlights the extent of Joe Biden's physical decline. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

Every accusation is a confession

ICE is raiding Home Depots in LA because nothing says “national security” like cracking down on people buying mulch.

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

It’s difficult to think of a less controversial thing to say than “Stephen Miller is a world-class hater.” “What day is it?” and “What year were you born?” and “Is Stephen Miller a world-class hater?” are the questions you ask to check if someone has a concussion.

The most lawless administration claiming the law and order mantle is just nuclear level chutzpah.

This is utter bullshit ABC News. You’re the free press, you don’t do what the authoritarian in the White House tells you to do. Thank you @terrymoranabc.bsky.social for having the courage to speak the truth.

Tiananman Squaring

There was reporting that the other week Stephen Miller went ape on Tom Homan for weak numbers, and now we have a panicked large ICE mobilization in Miller's childhood SoCal... seems pretty A-B.

This is why *none* of his nominees should have been approved by Dem senators. An absolute abomination.

Nothing like getting sanctimonious law and order lectures from Republicans who refused to vote convict Trump after 1/6.

1/3 *** RAPID RESPONSE ALERT! Breaking updates: Call to Action Sun Jun 8th 12:00 pm, Camp Pendalton, protesting threating use of Camp Pendalton Marines on protestors *** CALL TO ACTION WHO: All San Diegans WHAT: A peaceful demonstration at the Camp Pendelton South Gate

At the risk of being labeled a "shitlib" or a "genocide enabler," it's honestly difficult to imagine Kamala sending the National Guard and the Marines to Los Angeles to suppress people peacefully protesting ICE kidnapping immigrants without due process.

Quite the week in California.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

[whichever DHS ghoul shows up on Fox News tomorrow] "Look, the voters clearly said they wanted an invading army to tear gas their local Home Depot into shutting down for the day"

Yes, I am going to say it. If you didn't vote for Harris because [any issue at all], have you learned your lesson yet? I've been dumb, too. I don't hate you. Just LEARN.
