I keep getting asked if I believe I was deliberately targeted by LASD with explosive munition. can be only 2 options: Either I was deliberately targeted because I was press, Or LASD are so incompetent when handling potentially lethal weapons & aiming that they should not be allowed near them.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

This evening, 18 Senate Democrats voted with GOPers to pass a bill to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins -- without anti-corruption rules to bar Trump and his family from continuing to profit from cryptocurrency.

The number of people arguing with this number because “Alt National Park Service said it was 11 million” is kind of staggering to me. Folks, Alt NPS is not real, okay? None of the “alt” accounts are. They don’t have special knowledge. They pulled that number out of thin air/their ass

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

what always bothered me about the "Trump 1.0 was better than George W. Bush" argument is that it was true in a vacuum but also just a function of circumstance. if Trump had been in office on 9/11 the response would have been absolutely insane.

As California lawmakers make a show of banning face masks for cops, they’re green-lighting a law that would roll back transparency for “undercover” officers’ misconduct files. My latest for @us.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

BREAKING: What you just witnessed was a state-sanctioned kidnapping. These people aren’t identifying themselves. Citizens can no longer distinguish between state authority & rogue violence. This is not a warning about what might come. We are not watching the start of something. We are living it.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

LAPD ruptured another man’s testicle at a protest. The last time was in 2020 and it ended up costing taxpayers $1.5-million. No amount of money can bring back a testicle or fix the health issues down the road. ktla.com/news/local-n...

How do cop supporters not seen how embarrassingly cowardly they are. Also, the only thing more skittish in an angry crowd than a cop is a horse, and neither of them belong there, and one has my sympathy.
