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.

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.

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.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.
