Always pointing out that Elon Musk has deliberately murdered hundreds of thousands of people mostly in the global south and it is estimated that he will have murdered 14 million people via DOGE alone in the next 5 years.

Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors. This is being actively encouraged by the world’s richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

That is in fact their policy preference

The Olympics are going to cancel themselves

Councilmember Rick Cole was out all night in Pasadena and honestly is the only elected official who is properly expressing the outrage at the federal government felt by terrified constituents — in this case living across the street from where homes were burned in the Eaton Fire

Playing on their turf never ever wins, not morally, not politically. Here's a response: "this is a wedge issue targeting kids, getting into their doctors' decisions. Next, they'll come for your hysterectomy, your vasectomy. And it's because they can't talk about the economy." Say Fuck You back

It’s going great

It’s hard to overstate how hard the entire right wing establishment and the police unions were gunning for Eunisses, and for her to not just win but increase her margin by 7-8% is an absolute fuck you to their fearmongering bullshit

One year ago, Los Angeles bravely stood up to ICE, the police, and the National Guard. Remember—until then, many people said any kind of resistance would "give Trump what he wanted." In fact, the uprising helped to turn the tide against him. Fighting back works. crimethinc.com/LosAngelesJu...

Spencer Pratt's supposed momentum as a candidate was an entirely twitter-created invention, propelled by MAGA and the Murdochs who relentlessly promoted his candidacy. But he never had any organic support where it mattered in LA.

This is what Karen Bass did when ICE invaded LA

I often quote Israel's own leadership on here for two reasons 1) They publicly define their own parameters for success routinely, and they are completely different from what Western media claims them to be. 2) It's useful to reiterate to people that these goals are incompatible with negotiations.

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

C’mon, cmooooooooon

Happy election night! Don’t forget to put out milk and cookies for Dean Logan!

The people you are letting the cops beat up are literally your most engaged voter and activist base You are funding white supremacists to attack people who would otherwise do 20 hours a week for free to get your candidates elected

Of $2.5 billion of fire relief funds, $0 went to fire victims. $75 million went to the military. $14 million went to pay cops to tear gas civilians who were protesting against ICE. www.nbclosangeles.com/investigatio...

No one who actually cares about LA would ever say shit like this. We seem to recall a certain Andrew Cuomo saying something similar recently…

(did people really not pay attention at all to what Illinois State Police did in Broadview? Or California Highway Patrol did in LA? do we all genuinely have the memory of a goldfish that we have forgotten all of the previous fall and summer? everywhere ICE has been, there’s been local LEOs to help.)

Second night of Jersey cops attacking protesters who are there supporting hunger strikers inside a sadistic immigrant jail

Remember fam: when the story of Venice Dell is told, Karen Bass is a villain. She has helped obstruct this project and wasted your tax dollars on quixotic lawsuits to stop Public Housing on public land. There's many reasons I'm not voting for her, but this is one of the big ones.

Thread!

We're told that Trump's fund is terrible because money will go to people "who assaulted police officers." This is the frame of every single Democratic politician. It's the only legible critique they levy.

In fact, the ACTUAL relevant critique is that this fund will further fund white supremacist militia and paramilitary forces. Shouldn't that be the MAIN thing repeatedly hammered home to the public? Nope.

You have a moral obligation to steal *every* book, article, recording, film, mineograph, laserdisc, whatever, all of it, all of it. You have to steal it and you have to hide it. The more copies me make, the more we distribute the signal, the harder it will be fore them to kill our memory.

“On Wednesday morning, the Justice Department went to court to advance an argument that, if accepted, would all but erase the existence of transgender people in the law.” Read my report at Law Dork:

Trump's decision to allocate $1.8 billion to a fund that could reward those prosecuted for the January 6, 2021 uprising suggests that he is laying the groundwork for another attempt. Centrists have used the events of January 6 to discredit the very measures that *we* should be preparing to take.

see, e.g., www.curbed.com/2023/04/lapd... LAPD’s addiction to helicopters is part of how they are defunding LA with their bloated budget. they’ve been caught using them to ferry high-ups to golf tournaments and to use them unnecessarily and yet not change comes because they are above scrutiny

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

The challenge for Bass is that Bass has ALSO accepted the framing that encampments are crime and that LA is desperately in need of more cops and more criminalization. Bass can’t fight Pratt’s lies because Pratt’s lies are also hers!

More than a bit worrying that reality seems not to matter anymore. Like, whole political movements rise up out of disinformation campaigns pushed by algorithms and media narratives. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

when I say things like “this is downstream of Dems not believing in anything” people jump into my replies and say Dems believe in abortion, fighting racism, and LGBT rights, and the answer to that is: not according to the scoreboard

Mayor Bass wants you to get hit by a car.

So much of our public policy around prisons and policing is explicitly anti-science. We know how to make prisons safer, we know criminalizing homelessness doesn’t work, we know how to reduce violence with unarmed intervention. We just refuse to do the shit. It’s as absurd as climate denialism

"We asked Spencer if he has ever lived in the trailer, and he said no, adding, 'I have never told anyone I lived there.' However, in the campaign ad, he says squarely, "This is where I live" as he stood in front of the trailer." TMZ doing politics is good actually

Ending Reconstruction before hanging every Confederate was a mistake

These are career professionals in law enforcement doing the vast bulk of this.

I just don't think democracy is formally compatible with an apex court that views itself as unanswerable to its coordinate branches and which exercises its docket control so to hand down unreasoned judgments that reshape congressional elections in favor, consistently, of one party over the other.

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."
