Once again, it is time to ROLL FOR DEMOCRACY! With DM @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, Rae and her merry band of adventurers will be at Dynasty Typewriter for a D&D one-shot that definitely probably likely won't at all have metaphors about capitalism! Limited Meet and Greet tickets! Links below:

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

What people want is for Newsom’s social media/comms person to run for office. That is a paid professional, not actually Gavin newsom

Folks get in trouble because they think they have to decide what will *resonate* with working-class people [always treated as a monolith, by the way]. Unless you are a political operative, you really don't have to do this and political operatives mostly aren't good at this either.

Some people get mad when I say that most people don't actually know what to do so you have to offer ideas for what people can do. But I remain right about this.

*protecting your personal peace* is not the important thing when your country is murdering people across the world. please be serious.

The US and Israel bomb multiple Iranian cities, including capital Tehran. Iran hits back, launching missiles at Israel.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

None of this stuff is going to be fast. It's a long-term struggle as it has always been.

It's not enough to tell people to be "outraged." What precisely is it that you want them to DO? This is where so much falls apart and where a number of people fall short. Part of it is that people do not actually know what they want people to do; the other part is that it's DIFFICULT to organize ppl

Melrose was supposed to undergo a complete streets makeover from Highland to Fairfax that would have installed stormwater gardens to mitigate flooding, among other critical safety improvements. The previous councilmember killed the project

I wonder if more people now understand that the "worst of the worst" rhetoric is part of how we got here re: ICE/CBP.

US President Donald Trump says that the first meeting of his newly created 'Board of Peace' will take place on Thursday.

The first month of President Trump’s immigration crackdown in Los Angeles put a dent in the area’s economy, costing business owners millions in lost revenue, according to a new county report. By @suhauna.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

The LAPD has one of the largest propaganda shops in town. Like totally out of step with every other part of government or organization.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Thanks to Trump's deportation agenda, immigration policing and detention now take up 13% of all government spending on the criminal legal system.

States are coming together to bring state charges against ICE agents. It's about freaking time! www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

"working with local authorities" seems like putting cards on the table

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Federal agents cosplaying in military uniforms murdered a man today who reportedly dedicated his life to saving critically ill Veterans. This cannot stand - we demand action.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

Happiness is... a steaming pile of mulch? Griffith Park has a newish mulch station where you can grab as much green waste as you want, this one more conveniently located in the northwest corner of the LA Zoo parking lot.

Her mother called 911 for help… and got turned into ICE instead. They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone. ICE didn’t want the community fighting for them. Mother & daughter have been deported to Honduras and the local police were complicit.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

"All you liberal, commie motherf*#@ers, keep your hands to yourself or you're going to get hurt today, alright? We executed one of you yesterday." Meet Jayden Scott, former CEO of health insurance Private Investment Group.

OK, I'm sorry. Still up and am LAUGHING MY ASS OFF. Good night for real. I needed a gut laugh.

More details on the shooting in MN tonight. l.smartnews.com/p-6YhGgGOI/t...

“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.” MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

"“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.”"

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

It's *good* that public people who lots of folks pay attention to wore anti-ICE pins to a swanky event. It has gotten coverage. People who do not closely follow politics might get curious and look for information. And under fascism, making public your ethical stance is important in and of itself.

Bombs overseas. ICE in our neighborhoods. It’s all about billionaire profit — not people. Chevron and Citgo benefit while our tax dollars fund violence instead of schools, healthcare, and good jobs. Jan 10, we take action nationwide. 👉 bit.ly/nowar4oil #MayDayStrong #NoICENoWar

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

ICE's use of force policy released under FOIA was almost completely redacted until it was accidentally released in court filing un-redacted. Read it here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

I'm in my mid-50s. I started organizing against the violence of policing when I was a teenager. I've heard ALL of the so-called "reform" proposals. They are the SAME ONES that liberals are offering in 2026. Cops have never killed more people in my lifetime. Gotta do something different.

Here it is: LA's proposed ordinance to broadly exempt Olympic and Paralympic projects from the city's planning and zoning requirements. This will be making its way through council in the upcoming weeks

One of the most powerful ways to limit ICE's reach is to rein in sheriffs and stop letting local police & jails collaborate with the federal agency. When states take a hard stance against ICE, communities are better off and more protected from the deportation agenda:

Portland police have urged calm as the shooting remains under investigation, amid heightened tensions over ICE actions.
