Thank you Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez! CM Hernandez is the 1st City of LA elected official to offer their support for allowing "residents 16 and up to vote in LAUSD Board elections to allow for representation of the people most impacted by these elections."

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity. So pathetic and weak.

The 1st time we got gun control was when freed slaves armed themselves to resist the KKK & other militias intent on putting them back in chains in the 1870s. The 2nd time was when the Black Panthers armed themselves. I’m now seeing a lot of right wingers w/ a lot of very restrictive ideas about...

when they say that everyone should have a right to carry a weapon in public they mean only loyal Republicans have a right to carry a weapon in public. if you don't agree them politically and you carry a weapon then that's justification for them to shoot you dead.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

There will always be enough votes to beat us but never to feed us. There will always be enough votes to spy on us but never to give us healthcare. There will always be enough votes to pay for prisons but never tuition. The parties aren’t the same but at the end of the day whoever wins, we lose

SB 747, the No Kings Act, is stuck in committee and needs YOUR HELP to pass. Call your State Senator and say: "Pass SB 747 in full!" buff.ly/zpxEKyO

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

How fares the King

This is an excellent explainer. 👀 quote: “In rough terms, the workforce of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States.”

I wrote a long piece about Emily Dickinson's "Like Eyes that looked on wastes", Lacan, Toulouse-Lautrec, and self-imaging. hope someone out there is interested in reading that! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/emily-dick...

Read this excellent piece. Buckle is right. Liberalism is alive and well -- in fact, more popular & more activist than any time since Reagan. Liberals did not become fascists. Conservatives became fascists. Liberalism did not die. The center-right died so the far-right might live.

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

The scale and speed of state censorship of campus really is amazing. More than half of America's college students attend institutions in states that have passed laws censoring higher education since 2021. From @penamerica.bsky.social pen.org/report/ameri...

one year since David Lynch passed, happy friday and RIP big dawg

They’re calling it the most divorced anyone has ever been

is it normal for encyclopedias to include “skin tone” or just when they’re generated by a white nationalist’s ai?

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas. The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”" "“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

Just guessing here, but I suspect the White House is pushing so hard for wars of conquest on multiple fronts because they see their support collapsing ahead of the midterms and worry they won't get another shot. An example of how tyrants become more dangerous as they get weaker, not less.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Protester is 21 yrs old. ICE agent dragged him and held his head down in his own pool of blood, mocked him about losing his eye. They fired pepper pellets at the HEAD of a witness recording the incident.

Human activity helped make 2025 third-hottest year on record, experts say

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

Government accounts just post like this now and that’s how policy is made

YOU HOLD THE LINE BECAUSE YOU EXIST IN THE LINE: Trans People Migrants Muslims Haitians Somalis Liberal White Woman Better get onboard because you could be next.

When you go to protests you’re going to encounter some corny and cringe people you’re not fully aligned with in various ways and I think that’s OK and not something to get Yosemite Sam mad about.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

DHS has again tweeted literal nazi propaganda. "We Will Have Our Home Again" is a popular slogan used regularly within the white nationalist sphere, based on a song of the same title. In Portland 2022, now-defunct nazi group RCN hung a banner with the phrase. Antifascists repainted it the same day.

a government agent, who murdered a civilian for peacefully protesting, flying a dont-tread-on-me flag is such a perfect distillation of the maga ethos it almost feels fake

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

"obey the state and you get to keep your life" is probably the shortest possible description of fascism you can put together
