“I am more scared in the last month than in the last 20 years. I thought they were gonna kick down the door and take me away.” @samanthamichaels.bsky.social hid out with an immigrant family in Memphis, where the onslaught of ICE has reshaped daily life, drawing comparisons to 1930s Germany.

They don't care that the cover-ups are clumsy. Their goal isn't to take over the news, it's to destroy it. To destroy our sense-making capacity. To destroy truth.

An embarrassing betrayal of labor

67 Senators could remove RFK Jr. today but there aren’t 67 Senators who care about Americans’ lives, health, or wellbeing. Babies will die. Our leaders hate us.

“The government is shutting down HUD systemically,” a housing lawyer told me. “It rolls back the clock to the pre-Civil Rights age.” www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Reagan funded and armed death squads, left Americans to die during the AIDS crisis, destroyed the economic tools that built the 20th century, his allies committed treason in 1980 (at the bare minimum, above that Reagan might have been involved) and pioneered "own the libs" politics.

No doubt bonding over their shared love for Epstein. Anyway, the Nazi games are truly underway.

Reminder: The man in charge of @la28games.bsky.social has been accused of having sex with subordinate workers, rode on the Epstein jet 10 times, and put his Twitter on private the day Epstein was arrested.

Wild to consider that if the FBI dropped the Englander indictment a few months earlier we’d have Lundquist instead of this asshole

City ethics enforcement officers are recommending LA Councilman John Lee pay $138K in penalties for 10 counts of alleged ethics violations, including for excess gifts & misusing his position: ethics.lacity.gov/pdf/agenda/2... The Ethics Commission is set to decide on this next Wednesday.

AGENDA UPDATE: this THURSDAY at 4 PM: Councilmember Tim McOsker (Council District 15) will now present to the Charter Reform Commission on Charter reforms for city policing, instead of CM Hernandez. 🚨 Don't forget: you can call in to comment at this meeting! More meeting info: bit.ly/FRLA26

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups. This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

Disgusting

Boeing is out there signing contracts to create “deportation fleet” for Trump, Miller and Noem’s DHS. Consequences of Trump’s dirty, ugly bloated bill. ↘️

THURSDAY (12/11), 4 PM @ City Hall, Room 350: CM Eunisses Hernandez, @catalystcalifornia.bsky.social, Black Lives Matter LA, & LAPD's Inspector General are on deck to share how changes to LA's Charter could reform city policing. 🚨 Participate remotely: call in to comment! More info: bit.ly/FRLA26

UPDATE — For those who want to help, there’s now a way to donate directly to the 7500 South Shore Tenants Union to help with emergency relocation costs as residents “vacate in one of the snowiest winters in Chicago’s history.” Details in our story. thetriibe.com/2025/12/judg...

Charter reform can include police reform! 👇🏼

The authoritarian takover of the state bureaucracy might not *sound* like a big deal. But SCOTUS giving Trump the ability to fire the federal government is a God-King power, and represents a failure of the American Revolution. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Another chapter in the ongoing gymnastics the City of LA will go through rather than upgrading our street infrastructure for safety. Upgrades that are mandated & we voted for AT LEAST 2x already

if you missed it—i want everyone to know about the extremely disturbing warrantless spying made possible by "Flock Safety," a policing surveillance startup that gives local cops (and even some corporations) an AI-enabled camera network, empowering them to follow individual drivers all around a city.

The 14th Amendment is as clearly and unambiguously written as any law on the books. Politically it was intended to suppress former Confederates and prevent the conditions that led to the Civil War. To attack it is to give comfort to their heirs and cut into the seams of our society.

🚨Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to “compile a list" of Americans who may be extremists, per signed memo leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-fbi-l...

Pardon power is not the problem. More people should be freed from this vicious system. Corruption and organized crime as governance are the problem. Shady pardons are just one symptom of the much larger clusterfuck we're in. If you zoom in too much on any detail as "the problem," you lose the plot.

The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan. Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities. Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Jeff Bezos showed up for the tenant worker march!

We are less than 6️⃣ months away from the election on June 2nd, and the stakes couldn’t be higher in our country and in our city. Just yesterday, my opponent voted against lowering the city’s rent cap for rent stabilized tenants.

This is stomach-turning, and giving Chinese Exclusion Act

👀

the elevation of “separation of powers” as the paramount value of the constitution is just rhetorical justification for presidential dictatorship, since that is what you have when the legislative branch cannot constrain the exercise of executive power through law.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

She did find time to gaslight us about the hundreds of millions of dollars the LAPD has cost the city in legal liability though
