Dem senator: Please, protestors, there are better ways to oppose the president Voters: Like not voting for his nominees? Dem senator: haha no no no. No. What I mean is we are writing a rap

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Vital post from @erikaishii.bsky.social for all my L.A. buds www.facebook.com/reel/2281167...

JOURNALISTS IN LA or COVERING FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT: Press rights groups are trying to coordinate responses to unlawful attacks by federal officers against journalists during protests. If you can help ID individuals in charge of operations (incident commander, etc.) & contact info please LMK.

The protests will stop when the kidnappings stop.

As they did to Portland, now to LA. I suspect LA, being larger, louder, and more media savvy will have something to say about this.

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.

I already don't drink Coors because it tastes awful but this is good to know

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

At the moment there are exactly 3 types of posts: - Fuck fascist ICE - Israel commandeered Greta Thunberg’s aid ship - THE TONYS!!!

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

you mean violence from ICE, the National Guard, and Border Patrol, right? because that’s the violence we’re seeing right now

It is really infuriatingly remarkable. The evidence of police department lying is miles high, but their accounts are STILL treated as “just the facts” and taken at face value. It’s such a toxic, but reflexive, habit in how the press treats them.

this is accurate. all the best bbq places in texas serve plain wonder bread along with the brisket. Also, you likely aren't getting a plate, it's on the tray with the parchment paper.

Rep. Maxine Waters was denied entry to the Metro Detention Center Los Angeles on Sunday, June 8, 2025, attempted to visit David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union California, who was detained by ICE agents on Friday following immigration raids in downtown Los Angeles

“Firing back”

Sinners joins RRR in the category of "incredible, masculine movies American men watched and loved only because nobody told them in advance they were musicals."

Watch this.

For some reason, Goldy Gopher, mascot of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, is the special guest star at this lesbian wedding I am at.

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

The Seattle playbook.

Tonight in LA, there are people hiding in garages, attics and basements because they're scared to be rounded up by ICE, denied due process, and transported to concentration camps. Sound familiar?

Just FYI to LA folks: If you see ICE in your community, call the LA Rapid Response Network Hotline at 1-888-624-4752 to report it.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

If jack Kirby were alive this would be the origin of a character he'd already have 30 issues planned for

underrated part of being an independent journalist: you can rightfully call tom homan a bitch and not lose your job.

“Anyone” here means anyone besides the rightwing extremists and rioters who attacked cops while overrunning the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

The fourteen words are very explicit about this. The way white genocide or great replacement shit combines with immigrant "criminals" and "rapists" makes it very clear. White children are a resource to be protected to white supremacist patriarchy, not people who can be harmed.

Holy shit

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water

not my screenshot but literally actually this

one reason for this is how few US newsrooms are willing to interview and hire immigrant and international journalists due to legal costs for work visas, and how often non-white immigrant perspectives are considered 'bias' instead of expertise
