ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

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.

This book is available on Kindle Unlimited

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

These are adorable.

looks like an objective assessment to me

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

AND WHERE THE FECK DID IT GO? …Dammit, I just wrote a Sherlock Holmes story with this stuff on it. *How hard can it be to THINK about this beforehand?*

the first D 2028 contender to come out hard and reject the whole narrative about Los Angeles right now is going to put themselves in a fantastic position by the time the primary rolls around.

The Husband and I recently started book 3 of Dune (he's read em fiftyleven times, this is my first read) I really like them! Also, no one told me Dune was for the girlies It's hundreds of pages of scheming catty lil shits and all their dramarama

Zelenskyy: "Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."

When I say I'm proud to be American, this is what I mean ✊

beyond the thin veneer of concern behind all of these opeds is the much simpler truth that their authors desperately want to describe something that is very obviously their problem (fewer people want to post in the venues they like more) as though it were our problem

Union leaders are calling for a strike to shut down LA. 🔥

I just gonna go ahead and say that putting active duty United States Marines on the streets of an American city is, in fact, heavy handed.

This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.

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.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

The people of LA would really like to go about their day. Buy groceries, get their laundry done, spend time with family. Live their lives in peace. Kind of like all our immigrant friends and neighbors. It’s the feds and ICE that are making this impossible. They are creating the crisis.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Is anyone really that shocked to learn that NRA members didn’t really believe that “stand up to tyranny” stuff? And that the organization mainly exists to taunt victimized families and communities after mass shootings?

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Nothin but the facts

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission quietly removed the CREW Manual from their website and will no longer be updating this gold standard for library weeding. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Just a reminder that none of us are safe until all of us are safe. Same applies for freedom.

Few things take more chutzpah to say than "You are illegally on the land we stole."

Anyone able to actually help these folks? Our national guard could help with that and earn a lot of goodwill, but 47 would rather use them to try to piss on California and its governor. What a travesty.

Boosting the signal. Please repost to get the word out.

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

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Stuck in traffic because ICE stopped them in order to conduct a raid on businesses. Teargassed by ICE WHILE IN THEIR CARS. Had to get out of their cars, and that's when they started recording. And that's when ICE started targeting THEM.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

I am realizing that people think it was the speeches and not the court cases, political campaigns, votes, and riots that won rights and buddy I don't know where we go from here.

ABC obeys in advance. Cowards made the decision to suspend Terry Moran after the White House cried about his 100% accurate post. Stephen Miller doesn’t even have bellhop status. They just allow him to think he does.

It's interesting how quick "libs" are to blame protesters for violence rather than the thugs literally kidnapping people out of their homes, or the pigs shooting "less than lethal rounds at peoples heads. Who's side are yall on?

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

I welcome a world where ICE is destroyed and every person who worked for the agency is held accountable for the terror they created.

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.

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.
