Greta Thunberg is in Israeli custody after sailing UNARMED to provide food to starving people on the West Bank. Article 54, AP I of the Geneva Convention states that interference of humanitarian aid is a war crime. Why do I need to defend the feeding of starving children?

even though LA is a sexy news story, neighbors have been protecting neighbors across the country all year and they will continue to. You have a community right outside your door. Care for it.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

what i don't get about the "bluesky doesn't tolerate anyone to the left of lenin" argument is that they all used to get yelled at and made fun of on twitter by the left too. they have the same ability to block, mute, and ignore their critics here as they did there. what is actually different

There are like five people who have actually read Marx and one of them is Bill Kristol. Vaguely left leaning low social trust people who get memed into hating Dems as much or more than Trump are a dime a dozen though…

I am regularly amazed by how Trump acts like a spectator to his own administration. You brought in the troops, mate. That's why things are looking really bad. You did that. You could undo it, or - more foolishly - do it more. You're the president, chief.

So when does Trump declare these scooters terrorist weapons and call for them to be banned?

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

It's certainly not, but it seems the definition of "crime enforcement" in the US right now is kinda ambiguous, as evinced by people following the rules being detained in basements right now w/o food or water. At a practical level, the system will punish whoever hurt this guy or it's nonfunctional.

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.

People need to understand the word “criminal” is the easiest weapon for an authoritarian to use and work on changing their emotional reactions to the word and recognize they’ve spent most of their lives being manipulated into vilifying allies to the delight of the wealthy.

desperately need the press to describe what is actually happening here in LA instead of accepting the Trump framing of riots this is a deliberately provocative assault on an American city by out of control state forces who are here to terrorize people

Keeping protests peaceful Is terribly difficult because a few people can screw up an otherwise overwhelmingly peaceful affair. But to say that these few can cancel out the 1st Amendment rights of everyone else makes no sense either.

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

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

this is TERMINALLY corny lib, however it would also: probably work and be really fucking effective. this is much to my annoyance, but it's where our culture is!! maybe not "do cosplay"? but if, nationwide, protesters starting blasting the fucking imperial march at the ICEtapo, the news would NOTICE

Nope, 80 bucks is just too much, it's a bridge too far. I can't bring myself to accept that price point and I play games as a career. AAA games were already an occasional thing for me, the only game I paid 70 for in recent years was Metaphor and that was a very special exception. I can't justify 80

Chess is an attempt to recreate emotions, the strategising, the brutal sacrifices of an ancient experience - leading a nation into war - into something that is experienced by a person on a little square board. How is it NOT art?

Using the American flag to symbolic effect at protests against the Musk/Trump regime isn’t appealing to fascism, and it is incredibly counterproductive and stupid to believe to is.
