FFS. This is photo is at least ~6 years old & is from Decatur, Georgia. The poseurs in the photo have zero r/ship to the Black Panther Party for Self-Defence & several are/were actors/models. Fuckin' Internet, man.

The notion that police “protect and serve” is copaganda and not an obligation. The motto was originally used by the LAPD, a department who’s responsible for making copaganda a large part of American culture.

I'm deeply sorry to the people of Venezuela. There is no opposition party in the United States to counter the fascist regime's actions and the population is easily demagogued.

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

Per the charging docs there’s a paid informant in the LA activist scene that’s provided intel to the feds since 2021.

ALL cops

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Under Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, the city conducted more sweeps of homeless encampments than under his four predecessors combined. Katie Wilson, who defeated him in his reelection bid, has pledged to curb these sweeps.

New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE. "Should serve as a warning of how it may be used in the future to suppress dissent." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

The west side is being hit hard today. Similar roving kidnapping operations seen in mid city & ktown last week. Cannot stress how much community defense is necessary and needed right now.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

The motion to formally oppose the gondola was passed 12-1 with only John Lee voting in favor of the project. Katy Yaroslavsky and Imelda Padilla abstained because they’re on the Metro board

You too can move on from electoral politics. Release the farce and play acting. Put your energies into helping each other and building new systems of care. I believe in the people, not politicians.

DSA-LA now pro-2028 Olympics, years after @nolympicsla.bsky.social started as a DSA working group. Wow. Slap in the face to so many organizers.

Of course @lataco.bsky.social @shoton35mm.bsky.social has the definitive account of what unfolded before and after Saturday’s victory — which illustrates over and over again how LA is completely unprepared to handle celebrating fans

🚨🚨🚨LOS ANGELES- This is a call for ALL HANDS ON DECK! Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors! Feds are targeting LA more aggressively than ever. THREAD with updates from @latenantsunion.bsky.social on feds escalating + changing tactics & how we fight back:

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

Mountain View encampment residents confronted a progressive council member's staffer on why he ordered a sweep that drew heavy police presence, why there wasn't shelter. Another told @thelareporter.bsky.social the sweep felt like a burglary. She said it was "heartbreaking, for no reason."

Newsom's very first guest was Charlie Kirk. Yes, that Charlie Kirk. They discussed trans people. By the end, Newsom said he "agreed with Kirk" on all trans issues.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

If the government shuts down, who will funnel our taxes to military contractors? Who will tap our phones, raid communities, and deport people? Unfortunately, the shutdown won't stop those. The real problem is that the shutdown doesn't go far enough. Make the shutdown comprehensive and permanent!

We made a reading list for you.

In the last two weeks these feds have choked & beaten protesters, broken bones, given people concussions from munitions, pointed their sidearms at people, tear gassed a neighborhood, shot reporters in the face, destroyed neighbors' property, threatened elected officials No National Guard necessary

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

LA Councilman Hugo Soto-Martínez said he would end sweeps, when he campaigned for office. Now, activists say he broke his promise. Read more about that @thelareporter.bsky.social: thelareporter.la/p/la-city-co...

He alleges officers have repeatedly interfered with his constitutional right to document sweeps of homeless encampments throughout the city.

New story @thelareporter.bsky.social: LA City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez went back on his word to end sweeps and repeal 41.18, a city law criminalizing homelessness, unhoused constituents and mutual aid groups say.

Hugo Soto-Martinez once compared 41.18--an LA law that criminalizes existing in public--to racial profiling. Hugo later admitted he wouldn't repeal his district's 41.18 zones but claimed he wouldn't enforce them. During his first year in office, 41.18 arrests went up 522% in Hugo’s district.

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.” Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

In a civilized society, a person who suggested murdering unhoused people would be forever shunned

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Groypers in my experience are Nazi trolls who believe that their job is to drive the mainstream right to adopt and embrace more explicitly Nazi views. Trump is someone they try to shift rightward. Kirk mostly tried to give Trump's existing positions an edgy gloss to make them far right-palatable

this is just a distraction from that orb what's invincible against missiles

imagine these being your last words. unbelievable

@bluesky moderation is suspending people for posting Kirk's own words which tells you everything you need to know.

CPD protecting the excavators.

Advocates tell me they had hopes that how the Park District works with the unhoused would change when progressive alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa was appointed as the new Parks CEO. They say that hasn’t happened.

look at this shit they could have built housing instead

Let's be clear what this image represents. Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders. THAT is the reference here.

Erazo also noted that tear gas was used at a time when parents were taking their kids to school and innocent bystanders were on their way to work. Details: lataco.com/westlake-hom... by @shoton35mm.bsky.social
