Uggh, yeah, this makes me want to go on a rant, but I'm not actually industry savvy enough to do it (Robert's right though, we think people connected to Hollywood have way more money than they actually do)

The problem with libertarianism is that it starts to fall apart completely the more civic understanding you gain. Those who are humble enough to learn along the way end up as pretty normal libs. Those who stick relentlessly to their way of thinking end up getting negatively polarized into Nazis.

I would like to point out, that it is something that America had more than a million peaceful protesters on a day when a small little man held a military parade. So far I've only heard of police escalating situations. Invoking any sort of confrontations would've been the wrong move.

God, I've never seen this thing we've all experienced to some degree articulated so perfectly.

When Trump & followers express loathing toward immigrants,women,veterans, scientists,media, and when electeds doing their jobs are even being body slammed and arrested, worse violence is not far behind. No kings. End the shameful arrogance.This is America.

Huge congratulations to the organizers and, especially, the many many many people who attended their first ever protest.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

A couple people responded to my earlier post about the shoddy WSJ article to say “well it’s true that Democrats aren’t supporting the protests!” At my best count, 75 elected Democrats (Congresspeople, governors) attended protests today. Another 27 encouraged people to go.

Forcing people to work for no pay is very on brand for the president. The thousands of National Guardsmen President Trump sent to Los Angeles in an authoritarian power play are working for free. https://trib.al/MZ7JPyY

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

“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.” @msnbc.com reporter #nokings

This has been a standard online right wing MO for many years now: loudly claim that any and all assassins and mass shooters are "leftists" (and trans, often times). Musk is just amplifying it dramatically on the site he owns.

The people running the team know better, too. But they’ve made a decision to bury their heads in the sand and hope that all of this passes before ICE raids the Dodger Stadium parking lot.

A totally peaceful day in DTLA and suddenly they’ve declared unlawful assembly because the cops got bored and started tear gassing people. Disgusting.

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

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

look man i am also getting whiplash from posting things like "tobey macguire's first arachnid movie was the spider house rules" right alongside the most depraved actions of the US and Israel, but that is just life right now ok

see this is why dictators normally force people to be at their rallies. if no one shows up to your fascism parade you just look like a loser who couldn't even graduate from bozo college. authoritarianism 101 really

One of the difficulties in confronting Christian extremism is that less extreme Christians’ brains shut down as soon as they hear “Christian.” It’s such a big part of their identity that seeing it as bad would mean seeing themselves as bad.

The most broken thing the #BrokenTimes doesn't do today: It doesn't cover the NoKings protests on its home page (can you find it?). There is a link to a 6/11 story about other protests. There is plenty of coverage of Trump's fascist parade. The rest of us? No.
