I gotta get off of here. I believe in you and I believe in us. Hopefully it won’t feel stupid to microblog Nuggets games this October. Take care of yourselves and fight for each other.
Media failing miserably
Cuz they won’t arrest the ICE agents causing it all
Fine print: *Offer doesn’t apply to Capitol Police
I thought I would be safe if I positioned myself with all the cable news crews off to the side away from all of the protesters. But nope. I was wrong. The feds shot pepper balls at us, forcing us down Alameda Street with everyone else. @lataco.bsky.social
Scary ass people really should shut the fuck up. You being scary as hell is “counterproductive”. You are not a coach - you calling ZERO plays.
Shutting up is the only option.
“Don’t care what it costs” communicates that ethno-nationalism is the only ideal they believe in
But even that is just legalism. What this and prior administrations have done to people is wrong
AFAIK, the word used in US code is “improper.” And semantics matter, especially if the 8th Amendment is to have any meaning.
Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.
He’s treating them like his employees. And we know how well that usually goes
“If the police decide to attack a group of protesters, they will claim to have been provoked, and the media will repeat whatever the police say, no matter how implausible, as the basic initial facts of what happened. This will happen whether or not anyone at the protest does anything that can be remotely described as violence. Many police claims will be obviously ridiculous but no matter how many times the police lie about such matters, the national media will still report their claims as true, and it will be up to protesters to provide evidence to the contrary. “ . - David Graeber
David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City.
Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles.

I’m sorry but this is a damning indictment of the American people

Especially on a weekend like this one
Hamilton wack. Sorry
notable that the poster child for morally empty ambition has finally figured out that there are gains to be reaped from opposing the administration's actions
Vandalism was seen during the protest.
Trump wants ICE arrested, NOW!
LAPD when they think nobody is watching

4. Their goals are an authoritarian uniparty system, free from the constraints of the rule of law.
5. This is their Reichstag fire.
Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence:
1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating.
2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights.
3. Their goals are bigger than today.

For the people who say they want to hear from Obama...
The Obama administration deported 3 million people-- a historic number.
What exactly do you want to hear from him about ICE right now? Or does it not matter because of his smooth voice?

Mark, we heard from the other side. What they said was incendiary and full of shit. So we came here.
If these mfs don’t do what they can to kill this bill now, shit is done
The logistical problems get harder with using the military, not easier

Los Angeles is not a war zone.
The media keeps cropping the same damn photo to make it look like it is.
There are plenty of live feeds going on right now that verify what is actually happening on the ground in real time.
Nothing.
The only unrest is coming from Trump & his thugs.
Peace on the plantation ass mfs
Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.
Dem senator: Please, protestors, there are better ways to oppose the president
Voters: Like not voting for his nominees?
Dem senator: haha no no no. No. What I mean is we are writing a rap
