Running over a person on the ground with a horse?!
Police brutality captured on ABC7-- as the police chief gives a press conference.
A fire breaks out, then cops brutally assault a protestor. They run him over with a horse and hit him with batons several times, despite the fact he does not pose any threat to the officers.
Cops are rioting.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

I've been watching lots of video footage of the LA protests. I see a ratio of 50+ cops to 1 protester, protesters waving flags, and police aggressively pushing and shooting flash bangs at the crowd. The only "violent mob" is the one wearing masks and military gear and working for the Trump regime.

Teens who supported Trump during his first term became less aware of systemic
#racism over time, while those who opposed him grew more conscious of racial inequalities. An adolescent development scholar explains: buff.ly/90Mue1j @wraylake.bsky.social, UCLA #polisky

Trump’s first term polarized teens’ views on racism and inequality
A social scientist tracking adolescents’ beliefs and behaviors over time was uniquely positioned to document changes in teens’ worldviews after Trump’s 2016 election.

It was disgusting and embarrassing to watch Trump and Vance yell at Zelenskyy, speak over him, say he's not grateful enough, and try to bully him. And I'm sure Trump handpicked the journalist who asked about what Zelenskyy was wearing. Just shameful.
Sickening that Zelensky had to sit thru this and listen to these clowns
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

With all of the threats to human welfare and authoritarian power plays Trump has rained down on us since taking office, I think it is time for us to stand up together and say NO TO ALL OF THIS.
