Seeing this really brings home for me that Trump is more of a symptom than anything else. We have the most militarized police in the world. And they are all fans of fascism. That's why cops love Trump, and they will love the next fascist who takes his place. I don't know how we solve this problem.

I live in a sleepy bedroom community in the East Bay of San Francisco. Thousands of people turned out, lining both sides of the main thoroughfare. I was shocked and amazed. Trump is historically unpopular, regardless of what the gatekeepers of the news will tell you.

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.

"why the left hates them" is the key here. They hate liberals more than they hate that actual fascist, Nazis, and white supremacists who are destroying the country. As "they lose", both parties take turns winning and losing. There are lots of factors as to why, including leftists voting 3rd party.

So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights. This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

We do need mass movement but I gotta say this. Folks who just got energized need to make space for the resentment of folks who have been shouting this whole time, including the left & Black people. People who are part of this collective who have legitimate bitterness at how they've been treated.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

This is what I needed to see today.

tbh the hot take death of nuance kills me: * Russia’s Ukraine invasion is evil * Israel seems to be going for the war crime WR * Iran’s regime is horrific * Hamas steals food aid from its citizens Russia’s allied with Hamas + Iran vs Israel (and Ukraine) w/ the U.S. as a wild card IT’S NOT BINARY

Kiss me, I’m a liberal (complimentary).

Strength in numbers.

Amazing stuff.

What Trump's admin is doing actually fits the definition of "lawfare" - "the strategic use of legal proceedings to intimidate or hinder an opponent" - which is what they constantly accuse Democrats of doing. Projection, as always.

Was waiting to be seated for brunch at the Seal Rock Inn in San Francisco, and standing a few feet away was Carlos Santana and his son. I tried to introduce myself and tell him I was a big fan, but I was so nervous the words came out all garbled. They were seated near us. Carlos smiled and waved.

Can't help thinking about Jurrassic Park: "Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should"

Get a load of Bull Connor II over here. Florida...man.

AOC: “They’re making people undocumented by removing LEGAL status, then having the audacity to call them illegal… correct?” @govpritzker.illinois.gov: “Taking their legal right to be here away.” @aoc.bsky.social: “The Republican majority is anti-LEGAL immigration, I want to make that very clear.”
