Something to note about LA's response to ICE (still ongoing! 250+ days!) is that folks are in "marathon, not a sprint" mode, & have worked pretty hard trying to minimize burnout. Is it totally successful? No, but what is? h/e what looks on the outside like apathy is in fact focused & diverse work

Omar Alqam, an emergency operator with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, details the devastating call and life as a health care worker in the West Bank. progressive.org/latest/the-v...

This ban on Palestine Action was a fascist act meant to further a genocide by crushing opposition.

He whined that I called him a fed when I did not. I pointed out that he himself said that he is in contact with feds, has got into it with militants, is trying to force his way back into group chats he was kicked from, & is doing anti-Indigenous racism. Foul, and worthy of comment given his platform

Feds are always in online spaces, whether it's disclosed or not. DHS wants to make very sneaky spying legal. The tool is new and nasty. No me gusta. "Silo is like a digital mask." It allows them to browse from an 'air-gapped' remote server, masking govt IP addresses and spoofing hardware profiles.

He looks like gravy poured into a water balloon.

Behold, the genetic superiority of the master race. bsky.app/profile/chri...

See @whstancil.bsky.social, this is why OPSEC is important. You have to listen sometimes.

Why do these streamer fans nut ride like this. I swear it's cringe as fuck.

Not surprising ICE admires Russian fascism. This is very common on the far-right. Probably Proud Boys are some such thing.

This is not the end all be all, but it's something. Politicians should take note. Doing something is better than doing nothing. He should take this way further though. Arrest masked ICE agents, actually confront ICE. Make a database of known agents.

The line between TERF and fascist is non-existent. Julie Bindel claims she stands for women, but lunches with Heritage Foundation bigwigs. You know, the ones who helped destroy Roe with Project 2025.

This is the bullshit of all bullshit and it shows how corrupt the city of LA and the IOC are.

Lady Gaga was such a queen at the Superbowl. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DiR...

To my knowledge he was also a mercenary who joined after doing several tours, voluntarily, in a war he protested before joining. A lot of vets have been good comrades and turned on empire, but color me skeptical of the fash tats, Blackwater guy.

This is exactly why Democrats don't offer a path forward. Rhetorical opposition to the oligarchs while taking their money is what helped lead us on this road to perdition. The path forward is a completely new system.

Protesting can't just be walking in a circle anymore. We need to find a serious way to gum up the economy. We need mass civil disobedience and to work towards a general strike.

Apparently yeah, there's been a lot of accounts talking about it... bsky.app/profile/math...

We live in a dictatorship. Our last chance to save ourselves peacefully is a massive general strike.

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years thehill.com/homenews/med...

I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at [email protected] to let them know what you think of this.

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

I would t call it a theory so much as armchair speculation. God, can you imagine them moving the US capital there like Constantine? Trump can take the regal name Epstientine.

How can people not see that this fucker (s.ta-nci<l (he keyword searches to harass)) is a fash adjacent wrecker?

Another victory for Bari Weiss, lifelong McCarthyite and consigliere of the most openly Nazi presidency in the history of the U.S.

What a sad, pathetic man Pavlou is.

Interesting theory, but no because Israel will not rise with a U.S. implosion but fall spectacularly.

Politicians won't save you.

I was an Uber driver for years. I always kept one in my pocket and pepper spray in the door. It was so if anyone tried to grab my neck from behind I had a weapon of last resort. Easy to carry, take out, and far better in confined space like that than a firearm.

My newsletter is now in now in the congressional record 👇

Trump's Department of Justice was apparently monitoring members of Congress as they search through the newly-unredacted Epstein Files, tracking their search terms. Rep. Jamie Raskin calls it "Orwellian" and a "violation of the separation of powers." @premthakker.bsky.social

I don't think that's true, people are fighting back now, risking their lives and sometimes dying in that fight. People fought against segregation, the Red Scare, the Vietnam War, we've been fighting Trump since he first came on the scene.

I hope there is a minor-leaguer named Solé that the Dodgers could acquire to make it a Banda-Solé trade. www.truebluela.com/dodgers-link...

Pam Bondi is just treating the rest of America the way she treated trans Floridians. I keep saying it: if you want to know who the fascists are, and how they behave, look at who is going after trans people hardest. Same way the worst Nazis went after Jews, Sinti, gays, and the disabled.

This I can't stand from editors. Mocking & punching left for trying to make a living because you point out a white, male activist is engaging in toxic behaviors, so they try their best to dogpile, make fun, & make false accusations of threats (calling someone out with screenshots isn't a threat)

Dude, MLK was a leftist, so was Malcolm X. Big Bill Haywood was not a racist and welcomed Black folks into the IWW. You're just telling the same lies liberals always tell to try and coopt and control resistance and squash any idea of a different system.

Liberalism will not save us. Democrats will not save us. A new system from the ground up will. It's Socialism or barbarism.

There is and has always been an active American radical left including Communists and Anarchists. Said left was advocating for racial equality while liberals were cheering on Woodrow Wilson and his klan musings.

Will Stancil is not a journalist, and if you believe his skeets are journalism then the internet has cooked your brain. bsky.app/profile/pier...

One of the biggest lies emanating from liberals is that there have been no successful socialist projects. They also claim, falsely, all leftist movements are authoritarian. This is meant to serve power and crush any vision of a different system.

Sorry he can’t fail upwards into a cushy editor job and coast on 20k+ followers on lame ass name recognition how fuckin dare he

One thing I hate about centrist editors is they know how bad the media industry is. They know the lack of jobs, they pay the horrible freelance rates, and they'll mock the shit out of you for trying to make a living if you're left of Kamala Harris. This is why so many leave the profession.

Will Stancil wants to take out a restraining order against me because.....I posted screenshots of exactly what he said.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

I'm more black than red. But anticommunism leads to fascism, always.

The imperial boomerang swings back to Australia.
