Art vs Artist I promise I’m more feral, this was a headshot for a conference.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

my goal w the ucla student encampments was to show you how different the reality on the ground was from the way the media was framing it. the la protests are the same. it feels chaotic from afar. but the protesters are your neighbors. the threat is ice. the threat is the police.

Can anyone at The Atlantic have a good opinion?

the empirical evidence is pretty conclusive that the 2020 protests contributed to trump’s defeat. why did it take four years for the “calamitous imagery” of those protests to have a decisive electoral impact in trump’s favor, & what caused the political valence of that imagery to reverse entirely?

oof

“LAPD officers bull rush protesters and press, hitting them along the way indiscriminately.” @sergioolmos.bsky.social

“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

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

10 #pokemon ah ah ah

PRISON RIOT at Core Civic’s Trousdale Turner saw 2 guards taken hostage (now released) Another reminder private prisons are a problem. CC’s death rates are higher than state-run prisons… yet Republicans keep extending their contracts. www.wsmv.com/2025/06/09/h...

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

LAPD assisted by the Huntington Beach Police just came in full force firing munitions and with Horse support. Someone was trampled. Another has a serious head injury.

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social

do you ever think about how this is all happening for no reason at all?

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

I thought I would be safe if I positioned myself with all the cable news crews off to the side away from all of the protesters. But nope. I was wrong. The feds shot pepper balls at us, forcing us down Alameda Street with everyone else. @lataco.bsky.social

Why do we have illegal immigration to this country? Because the companies want it that way. Ppl in dire straits go where there are jobs and safety. Without a way to make a living, they aren't safe. Companies welcome their labor and silence. This is America.

Looking these photos of LA and it is in shambles. Oh shit. Sorry these are from after the Super Bowl. LA is actually just having a normal protest.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Quote with your fanart

Nothing more LA than this woman selling dirty dogs in between rubber bullets and tear gas

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

I just watched this go down. Police continue to be overly aggressive

June: The Dark Ages 👹💥💪☠️🖤

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

People don’t realize just how much damage this administration is doing to American science—and confidence in American science globally. Everyone I speak with inside is horrified…

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

Yoooo @nathangrayson.bsky.social

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

ACE cuts are gonna hurt not just the poorest folks but everyone in the working class this summer. Kids will have less places to go and less enrichment in their summer vacations unless they are wealthy.

*narrator* he did in fact come back.
