Are people actually buying this shit? The national guard hasn’t done anything in LA yet. Trump is just using our military as pawns for his political games.

Millions are about to lose healthcare and other benefits, so surely people couldn’t be legitimately protesting that. It all has to be a communist plot. 🙄

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

everyone who’s spent years stockpiling weapons and screeching about “tyranny” and “government overreach” sure is fucking quiet right now

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The only people complaining about Bluesky are corporate media opinion columnists who have a 200,000 followers on X and 800 here. “Please go back to X!” No, fuck you lol.

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

In just two days, my twins will graduate high school and begin the rest of their lives. It’s a joyous time, but I’m also deeply concerned for the world they’ll inherit. I hope in their next 18 years, we can find common ground, acknowledge injustice, and move forward together. I believe in them.

The best place to get coverage of the protests in LA is from video from individuals on the scene. The totalitarian government is lying about them and the traditional media is largely unreliable — complicit or fatuously both-sidesey.

LA is really scary right now. The entire country feels like a tinderbox ready to ignite.

Thinking about that time Senators Warren and Blumenthal wrote a letter to Joe Biden asking him for policy to stop Trump from deploying the National Guard against Americans.

A reminder tonight: “Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.” Timothy Snyder “On Tyranny”

Dont F with California. Most populous state in the country and the world's 5th largest economy. MAGA is in for a surprise.

At the end of the day, the support for Trump is completely disingenuous. There isn’t a single behavior Donald Trump exhibits that would be tolerated by the Right if Clinton or Obama or Biden did them. Not a single one. And they know it.

The eggs aren’t any cheaper. Neither is the gas. Or the groceries, rent, or credit card bills. But at least we gutted the VA, Department of Education, and NOAA.

Garcia was picked to be made an example of to the rest of the country. The Trump administration gambled on him, thought no one would care, and the law would side with them. They were wrong. Together, we are strong. Let’s continue to be loud.

We all should prioritize people over party. But you can do that without leaving it.
