Eyes on the prize: to ensure our children stand a chance of ANY future, a viable biosphere is paramount. The technofascists in ascendency know full well the dangers ahead, and are consolidating power for that reason. They don’t have a viable plan.

Funny how there’s always more outrage in the media when a shop window gets broken than when people get kidnapped & sent to a gulag.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

This is good, and I hope it spreads exponentially. No borrowed holding facilities, no hotels to stay in (keep it up Pasadena), no restaurants in which to eat. There is no need to make unconstitutional kidnappers welcome in OUR state.

Every report from LA is like "small and mostly peaceful protests continued through the evening and into the next day" and yet to here the administration and some commentators describe it it's like...mass violence on a scale we've never seen before.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

“Especially at a time when we feel that the entire world has turned its back on us and accepted the genocide. To know that there are those out there who are not only speaking out for us, but willing to take a risk to break the siege, is beyond words.”

On the White House lawn when talking to reporters, Trump just said that if he were Tom Homan, he would arrest Gavin Newsom. He also falsely called LA protestors "insurrectionists," clearly trying to lay the groundwork to invoke the Insurrection Act. Blatant authoritarianism.

Call it what it is: fascism.

This is blatant fascism. Attack the press to intimidate them. Then kill them if they dont submit. Also, see my previous post on journalist hit in the eye during “race riots” who is now dying.

Reposting for the ascii art. I miss those days.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Melvin is a US Marine Corps Veteran who was stationed at Camp Pendleton. He’s also sounding the alarm about Hegseth’s threat to deploy Marines in LA.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

-> Cops are rioting <-

Hello from downtown LA, where the helicopters are circling and sayimg they got the protesters surrounded. Flash bang echoes. They're pushing protesters back There won't be a lot of pictures today for reasons I assume are obvious Let's do this 🧵

This sounds so familiar - it reminds me of something happening in the US, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…

My friend just matched with $15—who’s next? Can we get two more? Three? Let’s feed my little siblings today, together. chuffed.org/project/1282...

It’s so plainly and obviously righteous to resist mass deportations with force that I think the people who want to convince us to be more afraid of the protestors than of ICE must imagine their audiences to be very stupid.

An image of the Zeitgeist.

🦋 Representative talks to National Guard at LA anti-ICE protest Maxine Waters represents CA-43 which includes Compton in Los Angeles county, site of yesterday's car fire. She has represented her district for 34 years. "This is wrong & I hope that none of you will use those guns to shoot anybody" 🦋
