From Moore’s excellent Mother Jones article about America250 & how the nonpartisan event was taken over by MAGA loyalists : “an open-bar VIP party for America250 that featured women in cow onesies dancing to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.”

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

Cops being cops: “It boasted that the agency’s SWAT snipers have killed suspects during “dramatic and highly intense” hostage situations.” **”State police fought for months to keep from disclosing the most incendiary parts of the email, claiming it revealed confidential tactics.”**

Just dropped! “You're not a feminist, you're a stain on this earth Shut your stupid fucking mouth, you stupid fucking TERF!”

The woman recording this is a true hero & helper & it’s incredibly fucked that she needed to be.

“And I've been tryin' hard to find the people That I won't leave behind”

Hell Yeah

Kennedy's massacre of the ACIP panel is a continuation of the Trump Regime's eugenics — they are trying to kill disabled, immunocompromised and chronically ill Americans; that's the outcome they want because they do not view us as fully human. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

💖 Stand For the things you know are right It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight💖

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

What's fucking chilling is the cop SEES the reporter very clearly doing her journalistic duty, nonviolently. Stares right into the camera, aims, fires. This was an intentional assault on a visible member of the press.

Wendy Eisenberg is a Bass Goddess.

Indeed.

I'm actually super fucking mad that the Elon Musk era is gonna end because of narcissist infighting with a former reality TV show host, and not because even a single institution in American life made a serious effort to hold him responsible for a decade plus long crime spree

Today I gave away a small abstract painting I’d made to a sweet,older woman who had a viscerally positive reaction to it. She said it made her feel “peaceful” which felt pretty huge to me in these super fucked to times.

Portland,OR just had its first documented incident of ICE agents appearing at an Immigration Court hearing: “The lawyers say the woman, who is transgender, was seeking asylum in the U.S. several years after being abducted and raped by members of the Knights Templar drug cartel in Michoacán state.”
