Thee Oh Sees started their 6 month residency in LA last night and I get to go to every gig. 🥰

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️ Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home. nycacc.app#/browse/225834

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

As long as immigration sweeps are happening in the communities that farm workers live in, farm workers will continue being detained and deported. Farm workers deserve REAL protections, so they can continue working without fear. www.npr.org/2025/06/16/n...

loser shit

RATM wrote a song 33 years ago about the government using the corporate media to brainwash you and shape your vision of the world around you. Thought it was worth noting…oh, and in other news LA still isn’t burning. youtu.be/kmZAsLMUuPw?...

Taqueros are starting to close because of ICE. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social reports.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Let’s give it up for my hometown. Not often am I proud to hail from there, but they’re really shining tonight.

If you want more American flags at protests, you are welcome to go to the protests and fly one. No one will stop you. You yourself can create that picture of tolerance and pluralism. But don't sit on the sidelines and tell a community under racist assault not to assert its right to exist.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Absolufuckinglutely perfect 👇

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

Trump is saving Los Angeles from big scary **checks notes** dancing flash mobs

Insane delusions and just so absolutely and completely disconnected from reality. Thanks for your attention to this matter

A scene from Andor for no reason in particular. No “fiction being inspired by history and then reflecting the present” to see here.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

If you inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature?

I don’t share this very often, but you guys deserve it.

After being reticent to watch Andor for some time it’s amazing how prescient it is in proximity to what we’re dealing with. Also spotlighting that even though it feels unique because it’s happening to us at home, it is all so predictable when systems fail and autocratic power begins its overreach.

Deafheaven last night in LA. They’re always such a brutal joy to see.

36k strong in downtown LA for Bernie and AOC. What a day

These people are not well.

Happy 3 year anniversary to Spike’s adoption day. You are a light in a darkening world.

Being kind is a great way to live. Learning dark magic is a great way to live. Getting advice from enchanted swords is a great way to live. Disappearing into the mossy forest and becoming a shambling legend of gloom is the best way to live.

The idea of American exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny were absolutely what created the brain rotted confidence that led us to this slow motion car crash

Carthasis of the week was Deaf Club at Zebulon last night. What a release. Justin Pearson is still the maniacal dervish he was 20 years ago.

Back in ‘16 after the first election I riffed on the idea of horror’s ability to make social commentary in a astute but metaphorical way in a series of paintings. The writing was on the wall about the right’s demonization of feminism and attacking their rights. This was 1 of them with it’s VHS print

What in the actual fuck

the authoritarianism is bad, but the loser energy is absolutely intolerable

Mickey 17 couldn’t have been more timely, topical and thematic for this moment in time.

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.
