nothing to do here but force the continuing escalation ig. see how badly the fed actually wants this, the admin has a pretty established pattern of backing down if they’re not unopposed

not a moment of peace for the rest of their miserable lives

Mass deportation and immigration enforcement in the interior requires a police state, and the more of that you want, the more obviously it will look and act like a police state. Roll paramilitary goons into people's neighborhoods and it isn't some abstract issue of "the border" anymore.

I feel like this is easier to ignore in some places than others, but American citizens have been at war with “their” police forces for decades and I don’t know how to get people to understand that a lethal occupying force has never and will never keep us safe

LAPD advancing on the crowd and firing less lethals for a minute straight. Watch the whole video. LAPD is unhinged right now. Fuck the pigs!

The Times is a big paper. There are many thoughtful writers there doing really good work. Unfortunately most of your subscription goes to paying for the people who soft-focus nazi pedophiles or write op-eds titled “I Personally Respect Trans People, Just A Little Less Than Dogs.” Cancel your sub

FEDS RUN OVER PROTESTER IN STREETS Live on ABC 7 - federal agents in a white van ran over a protester, leaving them injured in the streets, and sped away.

they took a detour to rescue a boat full of migrants yesterday. this right here should be more popular than the goddamn stuck shipping vessel thing, this should be everyone's page-refreshing major event right now

It's the people vs the pigs! Always. Never forget - there's more of us than there are of them.

FBI RIOT TEAM OUT IN STREETS OF LOS ANGELES (& GETTING PUSHED OUT BY COMMUNITY ON THE GROUND) Dozens of FBI, ATF, & DHS agents in camo fatigues with guns out. FUCK THESE GESTAPO PIGS! Angelenos are pushing the feds out!

Yes! It is very baffling to me that people seem to think there is a debate over the efficacy of masks. There isn't! Masks work at the individual level to prevent the spread of COVID. There's a debate about mask *mandates*, the efficacy of which mostly comes down to compliance.

Diana is the victim of a hate crime and needs our support. A group of youths threw acid on her at a train station in South Philly. Let's make sure she has everything she needs.

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.

Despicable. Jonathan Greenblatt is prejudging Mahmoud Khalil as guilty without due process of evidence. This is a betrayal of every liberal principle that has made the US a welcoming place for Jews. The ADL has made itself the enemy of those valiantly fighting Trump and his crackdown on due process.

Gavin Newsom is going to be the first governor to drone-strike a homeless camp

Lots of bad takes on X that Musk "admitted" he stole the election. He didn't. The left does not benefit from a stolen election cult. Trump won the 2024 election. We can either do the work to understand why, or hide in the comfortable conspiracy theory that Harris "actually" won.

Jesus fucking Christ a bunch of *children* committed an acid attack against a trans woman in Philly. this is what this fucking ever-escalating rhetoric gets us; children are radicalized before they can even conceptualize of the weight of their actions www.inquirer.com/crime/acid-a...

This is very good & speaks to the problem I have become obsessed with in the idea that it is good and strategic to ignore one of your constituents being illegally sent to a foreign prison by accident www.everythingishorrible.net/p/dont-scold...

I know at least one Regent was pretty critical of exploitation in college sports. Pretty remarkable to then be involved in hiring 'investigators' to surveil and reportedly even attempt to murder a student because he had the temerity to protest genocide.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

We got another update on Jonathan Joss’ murder in San Antonio. The SAPD are walkkng back on their statatement that his murder was not a hate crime. I’m glad the attention to this case is forcing the police department to investigate this as what it was. A hate crime. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

🚨BIG STORY: Senators put a line into the crypto bill requiring bankrupt banks to prioritize remunerating crypto investors over depositors. The provision could require banks to take cash from your savings account & use it to pay senators' crypto donors. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

On the whole "welcome Elon back to the Democrats" thing, I think people are overlooking how he is perhaps the most toxic high-profile political figure in America. He's permanently burned bridges with people across the spectrum. That's not going to go the way people think it will.

Keep track of any Democrat or commentator or personality who advocates for Musk to be welcomed back into the fold. These are people you cannot trust and should be kept as far away from the levers of power as humanly possible.

When you see any Democrat talk about welcoming Elon into their tent, remember the salute. You saw exactly what you saw, and they saw it too.

A major insight of the work of brilliant scholars as disparate as James Scott, C. Thi Nguyen, & @kjhealy.co is that we live in a society governed by metrics, simple countable vessels for making abstract values concrete. Maximizing metrics is something states can do very well, even unto catastrophe

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

Btw, Kat was warning everybody about rightwing Dem donors calling LGBTQ and non-white Americans "The Groups" — and using that term to start throwing marginalized people under the bus — THREE (3!) months ago! This was before she was running. It is crazy how prescient this is.

people broadly need to start thinking seriously about what they plan to do in various emergency situations that does not involve authorities because if someone marginalized is involved, they should get to opt out of being reported to the regime, at minimum
