what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

the problem with polls like this is that some will look at these numbers and assume average Americans arrived at these views by themselves and not because of decades of right wing anti immigrant propaganda

Portland proved this point. We didn't have to defund the police. We just stretched it's resources thin, and they ran out of money on their own. Multiple protests in multiple places over a certain length of time will do that. They didn't even have money for traffic cops after the protests were over.

I mean a) awesome but b) shit like this needs to be shared far and wide. Make it perfectly clear what the "violent protests" actually are. Good people protesting for others and the state enacting violence on them for it

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

"We can handle one 10,000-person protest, but ten 1000-person protests throughout the city will overwhelm us." -LAPD Chief Michel Moore in response to the 2020 uprising Decentralization is key. Elon Musk personally banned our Twitter account in 2022, but this post remains good advice today.

So, since bad history is damaging: when the civil rights movement talked about "nonviolence" they meant a set of tactics. They planned actions for maximum disruption and intentionally defied police and laws. This is very different from how "peaceful protest" is meant by many using it today.

This, and it's what's missing from all the violence/non-violence/optics conversations: we need to make these guys have an absolutely atrocious time, and you can do 99% of that just by being where they are when they get there. Make them see the enemy in everyone they drive past

While praising Greta Thunberg be sure not to forget Marama Davidsons fight for Gaza putting herself in harms way by joining a freedom flotilla in 2016 which led her to be kidnapped by the IDF (This is in no way to diminish what Greta Thunberg is doing, it's amazing what she is doing) #nzpol

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Shoutout to those fighting fascists by throwing stones at ICE and shoutout to those fighting fascists by trying to sail into Palestine with aid for genocide victims. So many inspiring heroes on the timeline today.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Reminder: jury nullification won't be in your jury instructions and is not something you're allowed to talk about in court. If you bring up jury nullification during jury selection, you WILL be thrown off the jury. Want to nullify? Just vote to acquit. That's all nullification is: a vote to acquit.

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”
