We’ll make Coyne antifa yet

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

The media caring so much about viewership has resulted in even reputable outlets overexaggerating what's happening in LA. There was one single car burned in the whole entire city of 4 million people yesterday, and just about every news outlet is using a photo of it as their headline image.

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.

Just think: if people could’ve brought themselves to vote for the smart black lady, we would all be posting dog pictures and talking about the Tonys right now instead of crying and wondering when our democracy will breathe its last breath

I think what most of the Protest Discourse is missing is that it's mostly inapplicable to spontaneous protest. You're criticizing random people who are almost certainly not the audience for your admonishments anyway

I understand and appreciate the sacred and near-magical power of calling “dibs” or calling “shotgun.” I respect the logic and authority of that. But I don’t respect the logic or authority of somebody trying to call “unlawful assembly.” I call shenanigans on that.

I personally don't think it's safe for Trump to go ahead with his military parade. What if his bone spurs act up

Well, threatening to unleash the US military against peaceful Americans in a dystopian flouting of law has gotten everyone to stop talking about Donald being on Jeffrey Epstein's list.

I'm sorry, what exactly does anyone think tanks in DC will do after the parade? Does no one understand how the military works? Or tanks? Or...anything?

this is something to keep in mind: the fascism playbook doesn’t say “bait your opposition into doing what you want so that you can do more of what you want” it says “do what you want, invent a justification when needed, blame it on your opposition if useful”

She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command. ... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed." The letter:

The result of the antivaxx movement is death for kids. Whooping cough can be fatal for young infants - it causes them to stop breathing. Kids can only be vaccinated at 6-8w of life. Before then, protection is provided by vaccinating mum during pregnancy.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious there is a blue dinosaur bumbling around in front of the National Guard at the LA "riots." Absolutely humiliate these fuckers please. Come and play the tuba.

Seems like yesterday governor Gavin Newsom invited Canadians to come down and enjoy California and ignore the overblown concerns about Trump. Thanks but no thanks. #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Same but with independent bookstore @mzspress.bsky.social and I were starting to get concerned over at Twitter that maybe just nobody cared anymore, but it was actually the algorithm choking engagement We moved over here and everything was cool again

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

yes, waving the American flag does indeed have a different meaning in the United States during a protest against the Trump regime than it might have in Hong Kong or Brazil really glad we could have this illuminating conversation

Just occurred to me that part of why Trump decided he wanted to incite chaos in LA is because he lives in an eternal early 1990s

‏Every time I call my father, I’m excited to hear his voice — but all I hear are bombs. The sound of war drowns him out. I don’t know what scares me more — the airstrikes, the hunger, or how terrified my little sisters are every time the sky shakes.

when eugenics is ascendant in a country, treating, curing, and preventing disease, disability, and death is indeed controversial. Those is power will say it’s “not worth the money” even if it costs very little.😕

Wait, are we doing the motivation thing again? They’re boring losers, and the paragraphs about them in the histories written with embarrassment about them will be boring. They are dedicated to making your life worse. They should not have power. Got it, good.
