Local officials and news has been saying the line all day that local police doesn't work with immigration enforcement. Here they are, lined up military style, shooting less lethals into a crowd of peaceful protestors to protect ICE.

“Why are these police dressed like they’re going into combat” Cause we gave them the clothes and the gear. There was a very public discussion about it.

Maybe it’s not people speaking truth causing outrage…maybe it’s the actual outrageous tactics being used for mass deportation 🤔

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

For many decades in mainstream journalism, gay people and lesbians were seen as a "them"--a problem (societal, cultural, moral, municipal, religious) that needed to be solved by an "us" (straight people and publications) I don't mean hateful press--this was the approach of SYMPATHETIC publications.>

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

The most vital thing you can do right now is spread this message offline to normies. There is no "unrest", there's a protest. It has 400 people. LA does worse when the Lakers come in 3rd in a season.

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

If Andrew Cuomo, a craven politician desperate for power, is putting out statements about ICE like this, that’s both a sign that the Trump administration is losing on immigration and that the pundits who are arguing we need to take a harder stance on immigration to win are full of shit.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

California SB 98, passed in 2021, specifically allows journalists to remain in areas closed by law enforcement during public events. The law officers from assaulting, interfering with, or obstructing journalists. Nor can journalists be cited for failure to disperse. @knightcolumbia.org

I spent over a decade writing about such "common sense" reforms. They engender so much push-back, so much hateful backlash against those trying to support such reforms, and so many lies. And then, they do not work. This is how I got to abolition.

centrist dipshit genocide deniers were salivating at the prospect of Trump supporting an obviously more extreme act in Gaza/West Bank to make him the sineater, but Witkoff is just carrying on the Biden/Blinken/McGurk/Miller policies so they're just silent. Some of your faves!

Last December I wrote about an internal memo to liberal donors written by Seth London, proposing a new Democratic Leadership Council. (prospect.org/politics/202...) I was later told it was ghostwritten by Adam Jentleson. Now Jentleson's anti-woke think tank is out, in partnership with...Seth London.

More than that he also sent Blinken to convince the UK under both the Tory and Labour governments not to sanction Smotrich and Ben Gvir and to not suspend arm export licenses. Biden genuinely believed his job was to be Israel's lawyer.

The British journalist defending Rhodes and Musk in the NYT writes for the Daily Mail (for Americans, the Daily Mail championed Hitler—and hasn’t changed much since), campaigns against sex workers, trans people and pornography. This is all public knowledge. That’s why the NYT picked her!

My middle school kids take the subway to school. And I have no fears at all. My oldest started taking the MTA bus to school at 10. I don’t know how democracy can function when government officials can go on a news network with HUGE reach and just baldly lie, with no pushback.

This piece is exactly right and it is why all of us, many of whom have serious complaints about Harvard, need to be 100 percent behind Harvard in this battle. Trump is pushing his right to crush any opposition. He must be stopped.

So much is being normalised by Israel's impunity. I don't know of any other context where one side of negotiations is publicly asking for the destruction of the other side as a precondition for the negotiation. It's Orwellian in its twistedness. 🧵

“[That the] administration is handling the issue crudely doesn’t mean it’s not a real issue.” I imagine David Bell’s WASPy Princeton counterpart writing this in the 30s about the increasing number of Jews in college, many poor—like Bell’s dad Daniel, and uncle Alfred Kazin—but some quite wealthy.

I was gonna be nicer about this but I just can't. It's a tiktok style video in which Schumer advocates the US getting dragged into a hot war with Iran. The awkward attempts at wit only add to the absurdity. Potentially the worst video a Democratic leader has put out in the social media era.

When I look at some issue I tend to first ask myself, "would more generous income support solve this problem?" If not then it's not a well-functioning market. You might be able to fix that with (de)regulation but you might also want to consider alternatives to markets.
