“ICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that it’s safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapper” is a hell of an argument

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

I would like to be Chrisjen Avasarala: impeccably-dressed, running things, swearing like a sailor. But I am Camina Drummer: barely keeping it together, sort of in charge, with a lot of complicated relationships and a strong eyeliner game.

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one. That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

We watched the post rally street party for about 45 minutes. Still going strong when we left. #nokings most of the cars were honking and waving.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

#nokings in Sacramento. Large, friendly crowd, completely peaceful.

@kcranews.bsky.social I know you're trying to get video of the rally but your helicopter is so loud it's making it hard for us to hear the speakers.

Our State Police have now decided that American flags on poles aren't allowed at the very peaceful rally today because they are potential weapons. WTF

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

Fuck ICE

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

There's no organized immigrant resistance to ICE. One of the most alarming things about these fash assholes playing military dress-up is that they're not doing it to arrest immigrants, they're armed up because they're expecting to fight American citizens... violently.

This post right here is what's wrong with the NYT. This administration will never make any of that explicit. So if the NYT wants to lawyer about terms, they should choose words that are both accurate AND convey the reality of what's going on. "Potential corruption" ain't it.
