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.

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.

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!!!

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

Gov Newsom just challenged Trump and the head of ICE to come and arrest him. The reporter paused and then said, "What do you think of all the toothless vitriol flying around?" (Not a direct quote but it was similar and perfect.)

Serious question. Why aren't y'all asking this of George W. Bush.

when i got married last month, i made a little joke in my wedding vows about how i fell in love the weekend i had to wash my hair with dish soap five times to get the pepper spray out of it. nobody laughed but hopefully they learned something - dawn really does cut through the oil in OC spray.

This happened during the first administration when it was saying Seattle was a war zone but I was in Seattle at the time and the most chaotic thing was a barista couldn’t get my name right on my Starbucks cup.

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

This should be understood as piracy— Israeli occupation army soldiers intercepted a humanitarian convoy which was in international waters en route to Palestinian lands.

Wait a second is that the AOL Instant Messenger little dude

Bears repeating that the SEIU California president is still in federal custody, and sitting members of Congress were illegally refused access to the facility to check on him.

IT'S PIKACHU!

"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."

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

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

And more to the point, he was *enforcing* a SCOTUS order, not launching an attack on a state while *defying* SCOTUS orders. Seems like an important detail.

I have a new exclamation

“you see police and protesters getting very physical there.” i saw a guy trying to kick a can of asphyxiating gas away from a crowd of people & some cops with nightclubs tackling him. what video feed are you watching?

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

There's a whole thread here.

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

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

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

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Never forget. Marion died in that hotel because she listened to a cop.

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.

“America is irredeemably cursed forever, but we should still save it I guess” is not a great approach to inspiring a mass popular uprising against American fascism

"I couldn't help but wonder: was that problem that Austria was landlocked and controlled by others, or that I needed to start my own resistance to authority? Maybe I needed to send Frau Schraeder to the frau shredder ...."

When cats do this

For month the big mystery in Korea was how President Yoon's tax-funded pleasure palace was using a city's worth of water every month. After impeaching him and touring the grounds, there's a theory... Dude installed a dog swimming pool and changed the water every time one of his dogs took a dip.

“Uprising” is not a synonym for “violence,” by the way.

Anyone making “strongly worded letter” jokes doesn’t understand how the legal process works. Seemingly useless steps like this are part of the process.

I'm honored to have lived through the peak of the American higher education system. It was fun while it lasted.
