I have no expertise, but I've been paying attention for a long time, does that count?

This is an unlawful order as given. Press cannot be ordered to disperse. They’re exempt.

Press CAN be told not to obstruct.

A “safe zone” (Crespo area) is always appreciated and in some cases required to provide. It is NEVER required for press to be in it (per law, policy and courts).
Los Angeles, CA -

LAPD telling journalists that a dispersal order is given, saying there’s a “safe zone” for them (that’s not how my understanding of PC409.7 is, nor is it how a judge has been consistently ruling).

@adamrose.bsky.social I’m sure can weigh in on this

Antisemitism is evil and I'm so angry that someone would do this to the Beth Israel synagogue.
Fire ripped through Jackson's only synagogue on Saturday, heavily damaging the historic house of worship in what authorities say was an act of arson.

Beth Israel synagogue, the largest in Mississippi, has long been a target of antisemites. It was the site of a Ku Klux Klan bombing in 1967.

They were *VERY* obviously here for content. That had dudes with cameras. Stopped anyone who was remotely brown. Those folks would show ID etc and walk away. Then they went into Target itself. But too many community members were there. So they left. Onto the next TikTok.

Fucking clowns, dude.

All art about Trump will end up being pro-Trump propaganda simply by virtue of writers and directors giving him more depth than he has. There really is nothing else there. He's just a mobster. He has *no* depth. Zero. None. He likes steak and blondes and gold. That's all there is to him.

Read the argument today that people should try to influence the narratives on the other website rather than abandon it.

I respect the view but - you're not influencing anyone.

Congress can force ICE to release documents like these at any time, but doesn't because they do not do their jobs
ICE's use of force policy released under FOIA was almost completely redacted until it was accidentally released in court filing un-redacted. Read the full document here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

Been thinking about this the last few days:

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

have overheard something similar in the smoking area at the industrial plant where i work today, also noticed the trump hat guy stopped wearing his trump hat this week
there are some very white working class dudes doing electrical work in the office next door and I just overheard one of them say “fucking paramilitary fucking shooting people in the street, did you see that shit?”

so I don’t think the PR is going over well

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
