This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

There are no ways to not let this become the story. The media & the moneyed-yet-mediocre who are in bed with fascists will not stop calling any space that does not welcome fascists an echo chamber until they do. It is a rhetorical trap designed convince people to welcome foxes into the hen house.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

Reposting for more accuracy: I just witnessed community members chase Border Patrol out of a retail center in Thousand Oaks. Thousand Oaks is not near the border with Mexico and is in Ventura County. But according to the ACLU it counts as border area due to the Pacific Ocean.

A big change, a historic first according to our Capitan Don Gluts. This small team of L.A. loving journalists is adapting L.A. TACO to bring you crucial information in the quickest rather than in the most traditional way. “We’re out there just raw dogging the streets,” ~ @theglutster.bsky.social

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

PSA if you're thinking of going to one of the protests tomorrow and the one closest to you has a private address that you need to RSVP to get, do not go to that one, you will end up on a list that the Feds can subpoena only go to protests that list a public address and don't RSVP for them either

this year’s summer game fest took place against the backdrop of LA’s anti-ICE protests, which proved impossible to ignore. this forced a reckoning for many in attendance: what is the point of the show, and as american society crumbles, what is the point of games?

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

I'm just gonna say it, I don't think non-senators should get shoved and tackled for demanding answers from their government either! Like I think whether he identified himself as a senator or not is sort of beside the point!

THIS! And what makes it worse was the Hoyoverse community gave far right grifters this culture war on a silver platter. It's genuinely mindblowing how stupid all of this is.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
