Thank you @jimmykimmel.com for making it plain: the media is helping to push lies about what's happening in Los Angeles when literally ... almost NOTHING is happening in Los Angeles, EXCEPT for where ICE shows up and kidnaps people.

We already had many of these things! THERE ARE ALREADY FREE FOOD FARMER’S MARKETS AT THE PUBLIC HOUSING COMPLEXES and LOW COST GROCERIES WITH VEGGIES. The USDA is cutting all that. We simply do not need to cut shit like NIH to get things we already had. What we have now is pure destruction.

Scoop: Threat intelligence reports obtained by WIRED and @propertyofthepeople.org show military and state-run fusion centers are tracking civilian-made ICE encounter maps, while others distribute "threat" alerts about tomorrow's "No Kings" protests. By me @wired.com (free to read):

Honestly I cannot tell you how nice it has been to have Walz just reaffirm what so many of us have been saying. “The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re over reacting” at least one official in the party understands and can articulate the reality of the threat we face.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

STFU Friday is every day, as soon as you've said these 29 words, as necessary: -Why'd you pull me over? -I'm not discussing my day. -Am I being detained or am I free to go? -I invoke the Fifth -I WANT MY LAWYER Why is "I WANT MY LAWYER" is so important? ⬇️

Soldiers are things to Trump and his cronies, like non-player characters. Nobody is real except them and only some of them even believe anyone but themselves exists.

He’s a tricky figure because as a physical manifestation of all that is wrong with America, his old-man looks and creepy facial expressions make him subject to insults that are absolutely antisemitic tropes that many people today don’t realize were used by Nazis and generations of Americans.

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

For my money, the wildest under-the-radar story in politics right now is that Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's official position is that they are about to raise FIFTY TRILLION DOLLARS in easy revenue by selling 10 million Trump "gold cards" at $5 million apiece

There’s a growing trend of big “left wing” influencers/journalists mocking BlueSky for talking too much about ableism, attacking disabled activists, etc. It’s extremely reactionary and insidious to do as eugenics is being full on normalized and our healthcare/public health is being dismantled
