ICE raided a popular restaurant in a San Diego neighborhood. About 3 dozen agents, some in full tactical gear, arrested restaurant workers while patrons were enjoying dinner. The ICE agents didn't expect a resounding rejection by neighbors & patrons. The community spontaneously protested.

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Tell me: if these dudes show up with guns in an unmarked van to grab someone, why don’t the Second Amendment fans think they should be shot?

If you scan a winning scratch card on the texas lottery app it makes a “woohoo” sound but if you scratch a losing ticket. It makes no sound Today I am proposing legislation to require the app to play the sound of a guy saying “fuck! I’m ruined” and then a gunshot and a thud if you have a losing card

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

A reply to JD Vance from a far right influencer. They absolutely want to do this if they can get away with it.

A lot of delusion happening in that Schumer NYT interview, but this gets to the heart of it: he believes his Republican colleagues will come around and everything will be ok. Absolutely delusional. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/m...

If you think the lesson of Jewish history is “it’s good for a far-right authoritarian to disappear political opponents without due process,” then you’re a fucking moron. Chuck Schumer is a fucking moron.

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one. shatterzone.substack.com/p/we-failed-...

If you’re human you’re frightened for L.A. If you’ve read Stephen Markley’s The Deluge, which imagines the fire this could become, or @johnvaillant.bsky.social’s Fire Weather, which reports on such a fire in Canada, you’re terrified. Is this it? Or just awful portent of worse to come?

open.spotify.com/playlist/6AJ... This year I added a song a day to a playlist. It's interesting to go back through it and associate experiences with a particular song. Probably interesting to only me, but a fun exercise.
