Abolitionist Pooh sticks

this is always what they do. they hate reporters on the scene because reporters on the ground show everybody else what the fuck they're up to. and they don't want anybody average to know: what the fuck they're up to

I wish I could find images of the bruises my partner had the day after getting shot with "rubber" bullets. Bright purple rings the size of dinner plates. Just astonishing damage. The hematoma one of them left never healed. And that was fired from a distance of like 30 yards

Solidarity with the protesters, solidarity with the flotilla

Even the most radical leftists love to talk about fighting bigotry while defending the use of ableist slurs because at the end of the day we're the group that's always going to be left behind. Everyone wants our support but no one wants to listen when we ask them to change a few simple words

I'd like for just one single politician to say "yeah, good job LA, don't let those fascists take over your city" instead of this "violence isn't the answer, stop playing into their hands" bullshit

Polite request to please credit the photographers whose L.A. photos you’re sharing. They’re out there risking getting their shins exploded by police munitions to get those shots.

People flashing their lights always fucking gets me.

Just thinking about this for no particular reason. www.latimes.com/california/s...

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

greta thunberg is 22 years old and braver than every single one of the pigs in la rn

‘If you see this video, we are being intercepted and kidnapped’ #FreePalestine Greta Thunberg has shared a pre-recorded video appealing for international help.

Where do most USians live? CITIES.

If your 1st response to protest is to preach non-violence, and it is louder than your dissent to innocent people detained w/o due process, when children are imprisoned, or peaceful, unarmed protesters are attacked, you’re not advocating peace or justice. You’re enforcing order.

"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."

in so many videos out of LA i am seeing officers aiming rubber bullets right into crowds, this is filling me with a deep and anxious rage knowing what happens when they do that www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

they are using guns and tanks for one part of the country and choosing slow death for their rural supporters through policy.

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

Angry about the threat of fascism? We need to link up and organize. Here's some tips on how to get started from @crimethinc.com. crimethinc.com/2025/02/11/e...

Put another way, it took things generalizing outside of just a small set of hardcore militants. It became a broad, popular struggle. With frontline activists, medics, mutual aid organizers, journalists making media, and lots of people taking turns on the frontlines.

#madleen #gaza #flotilla

you really fuckin think so in a post covid society where asian aunties and grandmas were getting beat up by angry white folk bc “they brought it here from china”?

I came up on "no justice, no peace," so I for one am not big on demands for "peaceful" protest. "Peaceful" is not a synonym for nonviolent; it is a call for placidity. You can be nonviolent without being peaceful. THAT SAID.

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

the revolution will be delicious

Here’s a member of the Assembly showing up to the protests. A real display of leadership IMO.

ON THE GROUND IN LOS ANGELES - LAPD GETTING PUSHED BACK AND KETTLED BY CROWD! LA not fucking with ICE, DHS, or any of these pigs. FTP!!

This morning. LA residents cleaning up their streets of spent gas canisters, cartridges and the other military garbage left behind by ICE. Horrors. What a violent mob!

Social movements built around direct action and self-organization have been the vehicle that has mobilized masses of people - not the wet blanket of the pundit class and the control of political bureaucrats. itsgoingdown.org/what-anarchi...

full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

Regular liberal people must come to understand that there is no way you can appease Nazis and especially that there is no way that you can shrink yourself so they won't hurt you. Their main goal is to hurt you.

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

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.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Nothing more LA than this woman selling dirty dogs in between rubber bullets and tear gas

RUN PIGGIES RUN! LAPD getting pushed back by the crowd. Fuck ICE! FUCK LAPD!

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

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:
