notable that the poster child for morally empty ambition has finally figured out that there are gains to be reaped from opposing the administration's actions

3% lethal isn’t “less than lethal”?

This is your daily reminder that rubber bullets are lethal. As lethal as a standard bullet? No, but lethal none the less. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

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

I actually don't think this is true. If Bush came down from the mountaintop and said that this is not the way, white, centrist press especially would "ooh and ahh" at his leadership and forgive all of his sins. Again, the media would salivate over and make him a hero.

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.

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

Today is a good day for everyone to learn about ADS-B Exchange (which includes aircraft that you won’t see on FlightAware: globe.adsbexchange.com

Listen to our resident volcanologist here, people! 👇🌋

Fifth generation Angeleno here. I am not afraid of undocumented seamstresses reporting to work every day in the garment district. I’m terrified of secret police in tanks rolling down residential streets with machine guns disappearing people without due process. I hope this helps!

congratulations assholes, you’ve bullied Gavin into getting off his right wing podcast circuit and back to pretending to care about his constituents again that’s a hell of a fuckup on your part

😆

🌋 Important volcanology tip: the respirators we use for protection from acid gases on volcanoes are effective against inhaling tear gas, and available at your local Home Depot. 💪

GODZILLA CHASES CHIPMUNK 06/08/2025

Rainbow in downtown Denver for #Pride month 2025. 🌈

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

If you’ve been skipping over this in your feed, like I was, stop and watch it. This one’s important.

@amiberger.bsky.social In these chaotic times, a bit of good news.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

No. I understand the desire to disbelieve our federal agents are like this, but it is true. They used 9/11 to build up a federal force in immigration that is dependent upon this brutality. If these agents had to find a job outside of this that paid 100k/yr, they couldn’t do it.

BREAKING The administration of California Governor Gavin Newsom is asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind his order and return the National Guard to the control of the State of California.

1/ As a white person who has lived in CA for 20+ years can I explain a few basic facts to white people living elsewhere? A Chicano/Mexican accent doesn’t mean you’re undocumented or even an immigrant at all. Mexican flags at protests/events/businesses…it’s like the Irish flag or harp.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

This is a wild thing to read on a sunny Sunday afternoon watching my kid make friends on the playground.

Your periodic reminder that "Cali" is a large city in Colombia. TYVM. - native Californian

Almost verbatim, unbelievable

Sweet Jesus, @theatlantic.com! YHTBKMTS. 😡

"Gaines has publicly lobbied for Biles and Caitlin Clark to support her in her hate which, again, is a laughable idea to anyone who has followed Biles’ illustrious career." Great piece by the always fantastic @nrarmour.bsky.social. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Listen to Dolores Huerta. 👊

A nice day for walking the dogs at Sloan Lake, #Denver.

making films better imo: thread
