I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

NEW: we talked to a bunch of people who say their family and loved ones became obsessed with ChatGPT and spiraled into severe delusions, convinced that they'd unlocked omniscient entities in the AI that were revealing prophecies, human trafficking rings, and much more futurism.com/chatgpt-ment...

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

In case you were wondering why all the head JAG officers were fired by Hegseth earlier this year - it's because they didn't want anyone to tell them no when this day came.

If you really believed an area with approximately the population of Portugal had suffered a catastrophic breakdown of law and order requiring extraordinary military force, you'd send more than a handful of part-time reservists to sleep on the floor of the local federal building.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

I need y’all to come to terms with the fact that this isn’t going to be pretty. It’s not going to be permitted protests and pussy hats. This is a war against a violent fascist regime. And if everyone’s biggest concern is the property damage, we’re going to lose.

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously attempting to shape how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

This is still one of the best ways to limit deportations. Stop collaborations between ICE, local police departments, sheriffs, and county jails.

Reporters should not be described as (or self-describe as) being “caught in the crossfire” in LA. 1. Reporters are being targeted by the government 2. Only one side is firing
