NOW: Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in Downtown Los Angeles

"He is looking to deploy troops to the cities" he...he is doing it. That's the whole thing. Stop describing the things he is already doing as though they are in fact not done until the people are "provoked".

For those who struggle to understand connections across interconnected issues, here's something I shared in Dec2023 (among other similar posts), which may be useful to read since Greta is making the point more clearly now- like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Alt text your shit. It matters now.

58 years ago today, planes & boats barraged the USS Liberty for over an hour. 34 killed. 171 wounded. Deadliest attack on a US ship since WWII. And Israel did it. Survivors say the truth has been covered up. Indeed, US officials publicly absolved Israel — but privately, it was a different story:

It would be nice to just have baseline agreement on the left that retard and retarded are ableist slurs that shouldn’t be aimed at political opponents.

We always knew where this was going

There's a reason cops rarely live in the area they police if they can get away with it - they know their peers and families would be sickened by them.

Cops are cowards.

interesting to note that 400 protesters have monopolized all of LASD’s enforcement power because they tried to help ICE arrest half a dozen guys working at a Home Depot if you’re scoring on efficiency, the protesters are winning

Don't be mean to them They just volunteered for military service during an uprise of authoritarian violence They're just following orders

Cannot emphasize enough that the people who live in the city where stuff is happening will know stuff that the NYT opinion writers do not.

I… huh? What are the police firing back at

I am so sick of anyone saying that rising fascism is the fault of leftists, like have you not considered that it is the fault of your numerous family members, friends, colleagues, and neighbors who fundamentally hate other people and wish suffering upon anyone they deem lesser than themselves?

Gotta appreciate the irony of people with confederate flags in their bio being mad that protesters are waving Mexican flags. "They're celebrating a country they aren't even in!" Have i got some news for you.

Hey everyone! Handy reporting tip: Big flashy booms aren’t necessarily flash bangs. Flash bangs are a specific type of stun grenade. For instance: LASD mostly uses stinger grenades, which make a pop and are often loaded with CS gas (makes you cry and leak snot) and little balls that rain on you.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

The AP built a database of 1036 reported deaths (as well as many times that number of serious injuries) from 'less-than-lethal' police tactics, 2012-2021. Prone restraint, bean-bags, chemical weapons, rubber bullets, taser or stun-guns: all can be deadly, but are deployed as though they can't.

It's 🤯-ly fitting that @thunberggreta.bsky.social is approaching Gaza on a real ship i.e. a sailboat .. .. when as Andreas Malm 2023 pointed out, the very first rollout of fossil fuel combustion at scale was the UK's 1840 attack on Palestine with steam warships.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Please help Mona and her family! Donate if you can and share widely.

SEX WORKERS & KINKSTERS! the list of websites shadowdragon is surveilling to map relational networks between people includes chaturbate, eporner, fansly, fetlife, furaffinity, justforfans, onlyfans, pornhub, rule34, seneporno, xhamster, & xvideos

Boxing, but both people have their hands jammed into rotisserie chickens and instead of punching they are both trying to eat the other person's chickens first

Do NOT believe PissDrinker69's claim that he needs you to clean the tear gas out of his eyes by pissing on them, that is not true that is just his kink. He does this at every protest.

If educators want students to stop using AI, then they have to stop using it themselves

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Whenever there's a riot, it's always the pigs starting it Yesterday in Paramount, they did it again - people were just recording or sitting in their cars, and some hogfucking icehole shot a 13 year old girl child in the face with a can of tear gas www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjgjCXUd/

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

I'm confused by the white people who think the state needs an "excuse" to go after people.

Every time violence happens, a victim reports it or is killed, people go digging through the victim’s life like they’re on a scavenger hunt for flaws. Did they have a record? Were they loud? Did someone not like them? Did they fight back? Were they sweet enough, quiet enough, sober enough?

you can just go out there and be a big damn hero nowadays nothing is stopping you

Friends...it happened. My 10 yr old has become an 11 yr old. He's a bundle of kinetic fun, and is a smart, kind-hearted soul. To honor him, please enjoy his finest moment of social media fame:

they took a detour to rescue a boat full of migrants yesterday. this right here should be more popular than the goddamn stuck shipping vessel thing, this should be everyone's page-refreshing major event right now

as someone who lives in one of Alabama's most tornado prone stretches, every article like this terrifies me. if you do not live in a place where surprise death funnels drop not irregularly from the sky, it's hard to explain the weird bond you develop with the person who warns you about them!

LAPD, ICE, and other “security forces” are using military grade weapons on citizens protesting outside an ICE facility in LA. Perhaps if you’re arresting 2000 people a day and you have to attack protestors as if they’re an invading force that this is not what Americans want. #news #LA #ICE

Activists converged on Anderson, Indiana, to demand the release of two Black men who stood up to racist prison guards.

"Cowboys and Indians" are another settler construct of love/hate ambivalence that functions to intensify co-victimization "traditions" of colonizers.

An interesting thing about nicotine use is that it *increases* baseline anxiety. You are more stressed on it. Each hit of nicotine quickly creates a perceptible decrease in that increased stress level. This causes the perception that it has decreased anxiety and stress: the sense of control.
