Respectfully, these debates about spontaneity vs. organization are unnecessarily dichotomous. streets have their own ungovernable beautiful rhythm. and ecosystem of the streets is organized networks (like LA thru neighbourhood councils, wildfire mutual aid, student encampment, eviction defense..)

The great thing is it can’t be argued. Frankenstein is ground zero. I’m sure you can mention a more obscure older book. But can you name a book that more codified what we know now. It’s THE book. And it’s still a big deal to get a new movie.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Notice there's TENS OF THOUSANDS of people on the streets in LA. Nobody's hurting each other. It's one big party — until the cops show up. Police are the outside agitators.

i don't love the kid but this is hilarious. David Hogg wanted to become an DNC officer! The party once again twisted the rules to stop him! Now they're mad he's not acting like a DNC officer!

It’s day five in Occupied California, and people are engaging in dangerous behavior like walking their dogs and eating lunch. Thank goodness the marines are on their way to put a stop to this.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

rfk jr is a mass serial killer and that's how he should be described in headlines, not as "a vaccine skeptic" he's no skeptic, his plan is to murder millions of people for his eugenics fetish

All that Republicans really seem to want is to massacre their fellow citizens, and they seem to want it very much. I think it would be responsible for the public discourse to include this fact in every single story about pretty much any topic.

if you're into alliteration, rfk jr is also a batshit bear buggerer

I kinda stopped following tennis when I moved and stopped playing, which was also around the time Federer retired and Serena was almost done. But my two favorite young players won this weekend, so I'm happy for Coco and Carlos.

trump and crew are creating a crisis so we take our eyes off the abomination of a bill going through congress. This is what they do, they create a multitude of immediate crisis's to divert our attention. We can walk and chew gum at the same time, we can address them all! Keep strong LA!

Americans are taking to the streets and showing up in US cities by the thousands to protest a plethora of President Donald Trump’s second-term policies. In response? Tear gas deployed and protesters shot with rubber bullets in LA. A WIRED guide on how to protest safely:

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Most people know that you’re statistically more likely to be murdered by someone you know than a stranger. BUT, most people don’t know that if you are murdered by a stranger— there’s a 30% chance that stranger IS A COP.

I feel a bit bad for the scooters to be honest. Those scooters help get people from the dispensary to Trader Joe's. Meanwhile, a cop car never serves public good in any way whatsoever.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

If Karen Bass can't control the police force, then she needs to fire every single cop in the LAPD. If she does, crime rates will immediately go down.

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.
