MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers.
Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

“we follow the Constitution and the laws that have been passed by our Congress”
*immediately throws out member of Congress*
this is insane.

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

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.

It is truly unsettling how much the Los Angeles of right wing media does not reflect the city I have lived in almost 20 years.

i'm not on the ground today but if you are or plan to be, *please* do what you're able to protect your body and your identity. it scares me to think of folks out there with big hearts making rookie mistakes that could really hurt them or someone else.
hey don't forget to turn off biometric access to your phone and if you did happen to forget, in an emergency, pressing the power button 5 times on your iphone will lock it & it can't be unlocked again without the passcode even if you were silly & left face ID on 🙂

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Hey! Press covering Trump!
The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies.
He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.”
Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.
I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense
I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

We don’t just need activism to make it through this. We need joy. We need distractions. We need escape, and everyone needs a break from the chaos now and then.
Having fun in the face of fascism is a kind of rebellion. Please don’t scold anyone — including yourself — for doing it.

Dear everyone who rolls up in my comments when I’m talking about something that is not The Current Chaos, berating me that There Are More Important Things to Be Thinking About, please, and I say this with love, fuck all the way off into the sun, I will do as I please, unfollow me if it bothers you.
