The chief and cops that continue to shoot journalists and interfere with our work need to be held in contempt.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell released a statement about the dept’s opposition to the injunction that protects journalists at protests. Their biggest hang-up is not being able to freely use less-lethals on people to “de-escalate” protests.

DHS lies constantly, and this has been confirmed in court. There is no evidence that any shots were fired at federal agents. The fact that the claim has no known basis in fact should be out front here.
Department of Homeland Security agents were shot at during an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago Saturday, the agency said — as federal agents were also accused of using pepper spray and flash-bang grenades against protesters across the Chicago area.

No one who suggests this idea earnestly has ever had the unique displeasure of trying to get an insurance company to do something for them. These corporations could not care less about you and whatever they might give in ACA money will be nowhere near enough to cover even the basics.
I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

When I lived in a cultish community, they often used “unity” as a method to silence those who expressed disagreement or who were victimized by the system.
Same dynamic here. One sided “unity.” Unity for me, not for thee.

Replace “Dems” for “mainstream parties” and “GOP” for “far right” and you have West European politics.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
