Vance Boelter assassinating Minnesota lawmakers is just a slightly more direct version of what Kristi Noem is threatening to do by 'liberating' California and I think it's important that people understand that

Yeah the flag scolds sucked but they did make this photo happen

ok maybe the American flag scolds had a point, this photo goes hard

Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

not to lib out but when was the last time a news reporter was on the ground, on national television, and directly attributed blame to the police for violence and brutality

How many more examples before people understand that transphobia is violence

God I wish the simmer burner on my stove still worked

Andor and Brueggemann is the very specific nerd crossover tailor made for me and like 6 other guys I didn't know I needed today

Ferguson was really an eye opener for me. I was watching live streams on Twitter seeing multiple people from multiple angles document something in real time and then in the news the next day it would say the complete opposite of what I saw. truly rewrote my lifelong neural pathways

this is grim in the particulars because innocent people are getting hurt and killed but ticky tack, scattered and disorganized violence against 3% of the country protesting in the streets does not look to me like a winning hand

they are gonna break upon us

Two things are happening. The extreme right is doubling down on terrifying violence. And a democratic coalition for life and decency is mobilizing at a massive scale. Whatever else happens in the US this weekend, the No Kings rallies show where the most powerful political energy is surging.

If nothing else I hope today we can put to bed the idea that Trumpism is a popular or widespread ideology

@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

We need paintings like this but instead of manufacturing is should be of knowledge workers. This would radicalize the masses for good.

i remember watching the ferguson protest live and seeing cops deliberately escalate when the crowd was entirely peaceful. told a friend; they couldn't believe it. hope people see and believe their own eyes now.

Anyway, these are the folks who run the jails (it’s bad)

MSNBC reporter on ground in LA right now saying that from what he has seen the protestors have been peaceful but the LA Sheriff’s Dept in particular has been off the chain, quick to use tear gas and rubber bullets in an exceedingly aggressive manner

Hey anyone remember that time we warned against the Patriot Act, saying that the Department of Homeland Security was a really bad idea? Starting with the name 'Homeland'? Are we allowed to feel vindicated now?

if u see someone protesting in this shirt, no u didn't

One good thing about today in Los Angeles is that the mainstream media was onsite *before* the police started rioting. So many news crews saying "the crowd here in LA is totally peaceful" right before LAPD and LA Sheriff started shooting and trampling people

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

As we get ready to celebrate #FathersDay, let's think of the farm worker fathers who works so hard to bring food to our tables. Many are currently living in fear due to raids by immigration enforcement. #WeFeedYou

From small towns to big cities, we've got a Reconstruction coalition cookin up

We have friends everywhere

Remember, my radical friends, diversity of tactics means supporting the normies

Billy Shakes is cooking today

There’s millions

Go in and cheer the King, he rages, none Dare come about him.

NEVER STOP ANDOR POSTING

What we are seeing in Los Angeles right now with #NoKings is after several hours of a massive protest that was 100%, law enforcement—abruptly and without provocation—began firing tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls at protesters. It was broadcast live on air. “Unrest” is on them.

Sorry am I his numbers are so few

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

No Kings Day should probably just be a regular American holiday. Take over Flag Day but turn it (literally) upside down like the medieval Feast of Fools. And add burning effigies

That stupid rock music - and the announcer is using the exact same voice one would use for a show involving a trained sea lion at the aquarium
