ffs

no words

tasted like fascism

artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Ok, this fucking rocks. Everyone should be able to use the bathroom when they're out and about.

"Bluesky is dead." Meanwhile, on Bluesky...

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

Perfect 🤣

This is Javier Calzada, a Denver resident who immigrated from Mexico 27 years ago. He walked the line between riot cops and protesters throughout the night, urging people to keep the peace. "We don't support the attacks on our community," he told me. "We're here to protect ourselves."

Trump has wanted a police state with himself sitting at the top as its undisputed boss since his first administration. The standoff in L.A. shows how truly eager he is to turn America’s vast warmaking powers inward on his domestic foes and critics. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

lol

Moran got fired for telling the truth.

speaking truth to power IS what journalists are supposed to do

this is not of, by, or for, the people. our government is out of control.

we don’t need NG or marines. lapd got this.

my senator

less lethal

the fascist state

Large amount of brand new, like within the last 45 min new, accounts showing up to try and troll for Trump and the fascists. You know the rules here.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Elon Musk perfectly laying out the case against privatization in a single tweet

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

elmo please use the spaceship. go!

This is the flip side of discussions about non-violence as a technique: people who aren’t there will always try and pin the violent actions of the state enforcers on protestors. This is why it takes a lot of discipline to carry off! That’s me being professional. If I may be personal: fuck OFF, man

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

If you know anyone in the National Guard, send this video to them. They do not have to follow orders that will hurt their fellow countrymen. They can fight this legally. Please remember, the National Guard takes the same pledge to our Constitution as the rest of our military. #SheShed #LosAngeles

much better to be honest and directly express your disgust

So, since bad history is damaging: when the civil rights movement talked about "nonviolence" they meant a set of tactics. They planned actions for maximum disruption and intentionally defied police and laws. This is very different from how "peaceful protest" is meant by many using it today.

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

Abolish ICE is the moderate position.
