“This is indeed, in my view, pre-planned to be able to give the president justification to invoke the Insurrection Act....this is much, much bigger than Los Angeles.” Former Trump DHS official @milestaylor.bsky.social‬ on Trump’s move to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles protests.

The LAPD says there was no violence and they had things under control. The National Guard never even made it to their armories no matter clearing the streets. He’s declared victory and thinks he can dictate masks are illegal. This is a 2:41 AM lunatic post.

The best place to get coverage of the protests in LA is from video from individuals on the scene. The totalitarian government is lying about them and the traditional media is largely unreliable — complicit or fatuously both-sidesey.

Jessica Ramos’ deranged endorsement of Cuomo is great news for everyone who was interested in ranking Michael Blake but didn’t know who to bump from their top 5.

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social region9a.uaw.org/news/NYCMayo...

Bookish propaganda we’re not falling for (you can't fool us, sorry!): 🎧 “Listening on audio doesn't count as reading.” 📚 “Amazon is the best place to buy books.” 🎥 “The movie was better.” 🛍 “It's one or the other: libraries or indie bookshops.” ❌ “It's not book censorship.”

Quid pro Cuomo. "Many of the donations came after Mr. Cuomo made a rare appearance at the Real Estate Board of New York, where Politico reported that he expressed regret for signing rent reforms as governor that landlords bitterly opposed."

Few have fought the oligarchy and stood up for the working class quite like Shawn Fain and the men and women of UAW. Andrew Cuomo is for the billionaires. Our campaign is for you. Let's win this together.

This is Trooper. He was tied to a fence during a Florida hurricane and has since inspired "Trooper's Law," which protects pets during natural disasters. He now has a loving family of his own and a legacy of helping to prevent other dogs from facing the same abuse he experienced. 14/10

Over 11 MAS*H seasons, Loretta Swit turned Major Houlihan from a one-note movie character to one that was powerful and three-dimensional; watching her taught me a lot about writing. I got to tell her so a few years ago; she couldn't have been more charming. A terrible loss, but a tremendous life.

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT. Don’t let them spin it any other way.

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
