Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Historically, protests are always unpopular, but always push things forward. Don't let the media obstruct the big picture.

If you consider yourself an American, democrat, or liberal, you should be obligated to read this book. #booksky #politics

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

🚨I’m here with @RepLuzRivas, @RepNormaTorres & @RepLouCorrea at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We are demanding answers.

That's so cool!!!!!!!

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Did you buy something? REVIEW IT. Everyone loves giving their opinions on stuff. And reviews are the exact dedicated place to do just that. Do you read reviews before you buy something? THAT COULD BE YOU for someone else! It doesn't have to be long/detailed, short/sweet works fine. It all helps :)

For all those saying these protests accomplish nothing

Remember these weapons aren't "less than lethal", they are just "less lethal". They can still, and have, killed. Solidarity with LA 🇲🇽 🇵🇸

I don't care if people damage property, and you're really not going to make me care about those things. I care when people are damaging people a whole lot.

You carefully avoid using the name Tiffany and it turns out some broad in the 1200s is named that but you accidentally use the word "okay" and they're coming to your house

My partner and I are cuddling while coughing and whining about being sick 😂😭

For the love of god, can people stop using Grammarly??

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Here's a baby otter to start your week.

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

I feel like I should have really annoying to remove stickers on hand in my car that say "I litter"... You know, just in case. 😡

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.

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

Once again, this is the exact situation the 2A people have been crying about for decades. The State is attacking its people. Where are they now?

You *must* swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

more from the Los Angeles reddit Stay safe, protect your neighbors

If it was about gangs, why are they going after workers? If it was about jobs, why aren’t they going after the employers?

thinking about this for no reason in particular

The more sewing videos I watch, the more I need y'all to either branch out your projects or make friends with crochet ami artists cuz throwing away all those scraps that are perfectly good stuffing material is just 😭 Quilted placemats, pet beds, plush toys, pillows, etc.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Guns and chemical weapons aimed at US citizens in peaceful American neighborhoods. The sounds are like a war zone with explosions and gunfire. Which neighborhood is next, yours or mine? Be brave, stand together! Call your representative. Demand this stops. "Warning shots" #ICE #Raids #Paramount

Do not back down! Ramp up! What’s happening in L.A. needs to be happening everywhere! Do not listen to people trying to discourage you with threats of Martial Law - they are going to do that anyway! You should have been preparing for that for months! #3E

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the internal solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

A huge reason any of these bad things are happening is that people were permitted to get away with obvious and public crimes with no consequences.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

If only there was a piece of media about people using technological advancement for financial benefit despite the risks to workers

My body is physically feeling better overall, but my coughing and sinuses are worse 🙃 wtf is this illness My partner now has it too ;o; nuuu

Here we have a senior golden living their best life and a young golden just trying to make it to the end of their shift. Both 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday
