You can't call your protest safe for disabled people or the elderly if you are actively criminalizing the wearing of masks. You can't call your protest safe for disabled people or the elderly if you are not mandating the wearing of masks.

And when you consider there was a similar large turnout across the bay in San Francisco at the same time…

Glad they accurately reported the turnout — usual media tendency is to low-ball — but the violence was two incidents of people running their cars into protesters.😡

A classic example of "yes, there has been an administrative change that allows this, and there would have been other such advisories historically" AND "yes, in addition, climate change has also increased summer temperatures in Alaska and made anomalous heat events more likely/more intense."

SCOOP: Details about Saturday’s “No Kings” protest are under watch by domestic intelligence centers, where analysts regularly distribute speculative threat assessments among federal, state, and local agencies, according to an internal alert obtained by WIRED. UNPAYWALLED:

Adding a couple more things: If you plan not to be arrested, keep track of where the police are and your potential exits from the scene. This will help avoid getting caught up in a mass arrest. If you do need to get away from the scene, walk fast, it's safer than running, for you and the crowd.

The article is from 2019. It's still great advice.

Bad indeed. Regardless of what you think about PSL specifically, this is a threat to any group that helps organize & support protests. You can’t — & shouldn’t — control every agitator who shows up.

It's easy to have principles for white cis people. In a couple days trans people will effectively be erased from existence. Trans kids are already dying. Trans women have been killed in men's jail. You're not owed our deaths for your principles. We will fight how we see fit.

Padilla says he was not arrested & not detained — not a surprise, since he didn’t commit a crime. Clearly they’re doing it all for show.

Don't think the hardware stores are selling much in Southern California today. Pretty much a ghost town at one of mine, in a town that has not (yet) been raided. The suburbanites don't want to get caught in the middle of a raid, contractors (legal or not) don't want to be snatched by ICE... I […]

As protesters hit the streets here Tuesday for a fifth straight day, President Trump intensified his rhetoric, calling the Angelenos “animals” and “a foreign enemy.”

There's no way to recover it to read it? "White House communications director Steven Cheung responded to the news of Moran’s exit by writing on X, 'Talk sh*t, get hit.' It was a twist on a threatening slogan that Trump has been using in relation to the protests in Los Angeles: 'They spit, we hit.'"

Three hours ago, an immigrant was arrested in Manzanita, OR, and he is supposedly being held in ICE detention in Portland. His name is Luis Rodriguez. Here is a photo of the vehicle that was used to abduct him.

Three immigrants were arrested by plainclothes ICE agents at San Francisco’s immigration court Tuesday. Protesters rushed to the scene and attempted to block the arrests. By 1:30 p.m., demonstrators were told the courthouse had been shut down. eltecolote.org/content/en/s...

Do not rely on generative AI or on assistants/agents that use it, for anything that requires accuracy. Especially do not rely on it when doing verification or fact-checking. Even more especially, do not rely on it when checking information about current events.

OK, my two cents' worth: If the actors, writers, directors, etc. on this show get together and pool their funds and put more money into trans rights work than JK puts into her transphobic crap, and they keep doing it, and they use their platform to continually speak out, good. Otherwise: NOPE.

Dems should introduce a bill banning all federal agents from wearing masks or obscuring a visible ID, in any situation. And they should press the issue publicly.
