According to the authoritarian wannabe dictator who deployed these men, “LA is burning”. It’s not. He's the one rubbing two sticks together to try start a fire. Don't believe the narrative. Remain clear-eyed and share the truth. 🌸🌺🌻 ❤️&🙏🏼 for LA This moment of ☮️ by 🎥 @saroal on TT

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

First 300 tacos are on me if an LA taco truck shows up for these guys. I’m 100% serious. Yes, soldiers have a duty to disobey illegal orders, but these are still Americans and their so-called commander in chief isn’t handling logistics for them.

I would love to see a line of protest signs by the @dropout.tv folks. Comedy is one of the most important tools to defang a dictator and show people that normal everyday people are as sick of this shit as they are. See also: Blueprint for Revolution, Popovic 2015

Thinking of Greta Thunberg (and co) and those being attacked by ICE in LA. Lot of horrible stuff going on right now but also A LOT of people standing up for what's right.

@blumineck.bsky.social does one of my favorite Internet tropes: I know more than you on this. I can school you on the physics or the history. But I won’t, cuz this is just cool and you’re not being a dick about it.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Official statement from the California Highway Patrol regarding Los Angeles.

Via "One First," my quick write-up of President Trump's "Presidential Memorandum" purporting to federalize 2000 California National Guard troops; the relevant legal authorities for doing so; and how the move is both a modest and dangerous escalation of what's going on in and around Los Angeles:

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

US citizen apologises to migrant abducted by ICE. "I'm sorry Trump's an asshole and I'm sorry they voted for this fucking asshole." He proceeds to ask ICE "when people start fighting back then what are you going to do? are you going shoot every American?" you can hear a "yeah" in the background.

Today we're launching DuckLake, an integrated data lake and catalog format powered by SQL. DuckLake unlocks next-generation data warehousing where compute is local, consistency central, and storage scales till infinity. ⁠ducklake is an open standard and we implemented it in the "ducklake" extension.
