The Wall Street editorial board calling for "common sense on both sides" lmao.

Haven't seen a single news story yet mention this is not an authorized use of this weapon. It not considered "less lethal," as they like to say, when misused. A butterknife is a less than lethal weapon until it's not.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

Journalism is not a crime www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ICE shot a reporter... "Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

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

Who gives a shit what he wants? He wants to occupy an American city? That’s fucking outrageous and it’s insane to pretend it’s a good strategy.

If BlueSky is a bubble and therefore irrelevant, why are so many powerful people complaining about it?

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Looked to me like Israeli drones sprayed the boat with some white paint-looking substance and then the IDF surrounded it, kidnapped the people on it and cut off their communications with the world. “Diverted” doing a lot of work here

Again folks, it’s very obviously illegal. There is no “but I’m a fascist dictator” legality button.

congratulations assholes, you’ve bullied Gavin into getting off his right wing podcast circuit and back to pretending to care about his constituents again that’s a hell of a fuckup on your part

Great advertising for the World Cup and Olympics.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

If you've been trying to put words to why all the "big tent" talk about "winning the middle" to defeat fascism that's coming from allegedly moderate alleged pragmatists seems like such wrong-minded nonsense, well I wrote all about that. www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

Great question! Right now, we need people flooding the Capitol’s phones. Folks need to call their House reps to demand impeachment. Takes less than 5 minutes. (202) 224-3121

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

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.

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.

Really feels like a fight they started. They didn’t even try to piggy back off some supposed incident of violence, they just activated a dragnet with no justification other than hatred.

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

Americans across races, backgrounds, and parties value our freedoms. But this MAGA regime of the bullies for the billionaires unleashed military & police on American families & turned our government into a weapon against our people.

If liberals are attacking me for demonstrating an obvious right-wing bias and conservatives are attacking me on the basis of some crazed conspiracy theory they read about on 8chan, then both sides are attacking me so I must be doing something right.

LAPD yesterday: Protests in the city have been peaceful… LAPD today: …and we’re here to fix that

So, if the LAPD admits the protests were peaceful, why do we need the Nat'l Guard? ICE brings violence wherever they go. ICE escalates violence, and brutalizes and terrorizes unarmed decent people in Tr*mp's America.

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection. They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

Impeachment now, please.

Trump's America is becoming the prime example of what happens when institutions become captured by disordered discourse.

It’s designed to play into a delusional fantasy held by people who not only have never been to LA, but loudly and performatively refuse to visit them because of “the crime.” It’s for people who treat Escape from LA as a documentary.

Here’s the thing about impeachment: All presidents *must* be reminded that it is doable. It is THE check on the executive branch. So all the rhetoric about it being a distraction or useless or any other fallacy used to discredit efforts to impeach? Yeah, that works to Trump’s benefit.

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

Ordinary Americans know high crimes and misdemeanors when we see them. It is time for all electeds to pressure the House to impeach. Governors cannot dodge advocacy for impeachment forever. ANY state is vulnerable to abuse of power. Governors, you are in a unique position. Use your influence.

"But absolutely do not ask me to stop voting yes on Trump's nominees."

Surrendering to Trump‘s framing on what’s going on in parts of LA County right now is malpractice. There’s been more violence after Dodgers games and when intersections get taken over for sideshows then what has been going on this weekend. And the Senator knows this.
