the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Half my coworkers at Taco Bell are homeless. Some live in their cars. One guy literally lives under a bridge. Apartments around here start at $2000/mo but I could rent a dilapidated trailer with plastic sheeting for doors for $850/mo
People are homeless because they can’t afford rent.

Because capitalism wrings out every piece of productivity from people while just barely maintaining their survival so they can continue to work.

Because suffering on the streets is a threat to make you go clock in.

It’s not a personal failure.

Here's a news story covering Sean's comments & the subsequent retaliation. Judge for yourself, but to me, this is our LA public transit showing how, bit by bit, institutions let fascism take hold. This is a matter of democracy, not just a job. Please share widely: lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m...

attended a Stop the Bleed training today. very good information and skills to learn and *very hopefully* never use.
in a world where we are in danger of being shot by a right wing nut, we need to be ready to administer life-saving first aid.

The US prison population has declined from 1.6 M in 2009, years to about 1.2M in 2023 and was projected to fall as low as 600K in 10yrs

The escalation in ICE is designed to facilitate state repression, but it’s also a blank check to the prison industrial complex and private prisons.

SCOOP: Mamdani Identified as Asian and African American on College Application

I co-report for The New York Times: Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda. He doesn’t consider himself Black but said the application didn’t allow for the complexity of his background.

i should chill. embark’s still the best department of this city. but it’s also a symptom of the seeping cultural rot we’ve been experiencing in this city and state since the president was re-elected. these things connect. nothing happens in a vacuum.

jesús. chris west was an insurrectionist and is a sovereign sheriff believer. this is bad fucking news. they are coming for you.
It was an honor to be with Sheriffs from all over Oklahoma and across the country as Canadian County Sheriff Chris West was sworn in as President of the National Sheriffs’ Association last night. I am proud to stand with these fine officers of the law as they fight to promote public safety.
