Just in general, internal motivations like ego-dystonic strength issues are categorically more interesting than GRUDGE W MOST INTERESTING MAN IN WORLD

they invented the word mewling for this exact sort of twerpish post

they’re transvestigating jd vance

i edited this guys branding out of his image for privacy concerns

I'd rather face the reality than continue to deny it fully. That's the least I can do right now- to acknowledge that America was founded in genocide and also not whitewash the people who used the same agencies but exclusively against immigrants. Trump is a monster, but so are others.

I notice nobody is scolding DHS and the LAPD to practice nonviolence

Child vaccinations for deadly diseases slump to ten-year low www.thetimes.com/article/ba54...

speaking as a city dweller: the Democratic Party won 2020 behind months of daily protests -- sprinkled with a little looting -- the party cynically but successfully captured the nation's rage over racial terror

makes me sick that you insist on having emotions and an interior life

There is probably a fascinating study to be done about how much animosity towards Government and Local Government is driven by the underinvestment in infrastructure over the last four decades, to the point that not spending became the norm because it meant lower rates and taxation.

Trump is not overreacting. The protesters are responding the way we all should. Making their lives unlivable by monitoring them and physically fighting back is the only way to stop them and folks will do anything to pacify/recuperate the narrative for their own purposes to dissuade radical action.

[being asked to explain my tweets in court]: Actually, I believe in a little theory of literary analysis known as “The Death of the Author.”

Californians: remember to cover your faces and tattoos always. I know it’s hot, but if they get to be anonymous, so do you. Stay hydrated and take care of each other. We love you. #FUCKICE

None of this would be happening if prosecutor Harris was still alive.

Don’t play into this dude’s game. You will never, ever oppose fascism in the perfectly appropriate way to please him. This is the same guy who made fun of pro-choice protesters because he thought they were overreacting since Roe would obviously never be overturned.

H/t to @liberalvixen.bsky.social - I knew I was missing a channel. But this is the thing. If KTLA is playing Friends, I think we can pretty much say we're not openly rebelling. Fellow Californians + everyone else: *counter the Trump narrative*. Make it clear they're outright lying.

If you’re documenting the ICE atrocities, make sure to back up your data. Don’t assume it’s safe in the cloud or on social media. Keep a copy (or multiple copies). I also strongly recommend journaling what you witnessed by hand if possible. Tell your story. The world is watching.

just finished my application to become an ICE agent

Is it brain fog or bad faith? Cuz if you claim to be a radical and an organizer but youre repping non violence when the two most popular political moments of the last five years involved Luigi Mangione (>70% approval) and burning down the 3rd precinct (more popular than either pres. candidate)

I'm reminded of a Minneapolis man that was acquitted for shooting at cops. apnews.com/article/deat...

Anyone who’s like over 30 years in 2025 and still doing sheepdogging and/or schoolmarming about protests or public acts of resistance should have their phones taken away from them. What are we doing here

you guys are so right we should try being nicer to ICE and see if that makes them stop kidnapping children

Look, I support ICE's right to protest but when they devolve into violence? Once the assembled neighbors instruct them to go home, ICE needs to obey or else be detained. Tear gas is not speech, ok ?

are you okay?

listen, this is a public forum monitored by law enforcement. posting about ska might be fun but those ‘jokes’ could follow you forever.

"Some have even suggested that the fascist government is trying to get a reaction out of us so that it can declare martial law. The absurdity of such a position lies in the fact that an authoritarian regime doesn’t need the law, an excuse, or provocation to do what it wants to."

The color of the sky in Seattle is manatee #939a96

If the standard for "send in the National Guard" is 'ICE dipshits got pinned down in a parking lot by a few hundred people' then, by the end of this year, then that bar has been set too low. What will they do when it's 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000 on the streets? How exactly is that going to work.

A lot of the replies to this remind me of a media hit I did when I was at Cato, on a radio show. The host, surprised I'd offered a pretty standard libertarian line on a policy question—because he'd assumed I'd say something conservative—asked how long Cato had that view. "Since 1977," I said.

Last month, Gavin Newsom sucked up to right-wing podcasters. He embraced Trump's anti-trans policies whole-throatedly. He thought if he copied the bullies the bullies would be his friend. Now: 1. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p... 2. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... Yeah, this was forseeable.

W/alt; thanks to the commenter who provided it. A famous and important photo.

One way to fight back against ICE is to target the logistical companies that provide ICE with runways and fuel. Companies such as @signatureaviation.bsky.social, that just so happens to have a location at BWI Airport. #groundICE Follow @groundice.bsky.social for more info.

Horse Cave, KY is a place name that really has it all.

oh you’re an ICE agent? do you have documentation to prove it? no? you’re under arrest

get signal bitches im so tired od telling you
