I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This is what unity looks like.

quote this with your reaction to gettin left behind during the rapture

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

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.

full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

California National Guard troops have arrived at the federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles. This is pure theater. It will never stop Angelenos from protesting ICE kidnappings occurring throughout the vast, 4,000-square mile area of Greater Los Angeles.

Just a reminder, it's only peaceful for as long as the police allow it to be. It is always the police who decide if a protest is going to be violent.

I know there was a lot going on in American politics today, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight how much I admire the work that Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla are doing. They're sailing an aid ship across the Mediterranean to Gaza right now, despite lacking Israeli permission.

There's nothing to do but make jokes. What else is there to say, other than: To EVERYONE in charge, EVERYONE in a position of power, EVERYONE with money, EVERYONE with influence: you are failing us, completely. We are terrorized, we are stressed, we are homeless, we are dying. You are failing us.

If you haven't checked in on covid info in a while, this is a great piece.

I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

Do we all still ultimately pay for their hubris and greed? Yes. Is the condemned man allowed to chortle when the approaching executioner slips on a banana peel? Also yes.

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Watching Trump and Elon fall out is like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera. Newsflash: it was both of y’all.

I can’t believe this is all going down right after SNL went on hiatus.

I know there’s a lot more important stuff to devote mental real estate to these days… but right now, I’m also wondering how —since original IP is still king— we can get a remake or stage adaptation of There’s No Business Like Show Business (1946) going.

Always so cool to get a shoutout from someone you like as a person AND as an artist! Thanks, Trav!!!

Anything they want, hide it or mislabel it. Anything they plug in, unplug it. Remove light bulbs. Move cubicles around so they hide some of the doors and when they leave the room move them again so they hide different doors. Play really loud music. Think like a cat and sabo tabby yourself a mess

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations. Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

Anyone got a "Watch Duty" style app that shows areas in LA where the industry is starting up again? Cause I'd love to get an alert that there's a four-alarm procedural heating up at CBS Radford.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Fix your hearts or die.

rough day. not much I can do. so here's a frog.

We are heartbroken to lose the indomitable force that is our former president, Cecile Richards. In her 12 devoted years of service to our org, she brought us to new heights in our health care, education, and advocacy work. She was the embodiment of “Care, no matter what.”

that moment when gender is definitely an unchangable biological truth so you have to enforce it via fascistic law

it's this www.latimes.com/lifestyle/st...

Dear MAGA, It would be just as terrible if Elon gave a "Roman" salute instead of a nazi one, because the Roman empire started out as a republic before becoming an imperial dictatorship. Also, that was a muthafucking nazi salute. Yours, A Sane Person

I am pissed off about just about everything right now, but one of the only bright spots is that I’ve discovered that #TheDiplomat is surprisingly friggin delightful.

this has always been my favorite picture set of david lynch

Sorry, but we’re already there—and it IS unchecked. While everyone’s been distracted by DEI outrage, CRT hysteria, and ending “woke,” our democracy’s been hijacked.

Lightly electrocuted myself trying to switch off my garbage disposal today and, considering how 2025 is going so far, that could’ve ended a whole lot worse.

There is a persistent myth that if you work in entertainment - if you've done something people have absolutely heard of or enjoyed - that you must be rich. Actors, writers, producers: rich. The sad truth is most of Hollywood is working class. So when you see a Go Fund Me, there's a reason it exists

Absolutely wild what some Republican officials feel comfortable saying about California while the LA fires are still burning. If Adam Schiff talked like this about Texas in the middle of a major disaster, he would be rightfully hounded into giving a groveling apology.

Hey. Can we stop doing the thing where y’all release a “season” of a TV show that’s clearly just half a season’s story arc with no resolution at all?
