There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

the story of 2019-2024 was institutions from Silicon Valley to the police facing a modicum of accountability and radicalizing themselves into support of a leader and party who promised unaccountability
What we have here is an example of an incredibly effective political action by the police that is getting blamed on progressives by people who are looking for a reason to blame them. It's bad faith all the way down.

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

Politicians never issue this backhanded warning to the cops 🤔
Los Angeles — violence is never the answer. Assaulting law enforcement is never ok.
Indeed, doing so plays directly into the hands of those who seek to antagonize and weaponize the situation for their own gain.
Don’t let them succeed.

Even the Financial Times admits that Trump is building a police state.
This should give everyone a new perspective on the oh-so-controversial movement to abolish the police.
That movement was our best hope of countering the forces via which autocrats like Trump will impose fascism.
It still is.

I'd ignore RFK Jr, the active sex addict who drove his wife to suicide, ate a dog, claimed a brain worm to avoid alimony, is a lifelong shakedown artist/fake environmentalist, is an animal serial killer, & who shot so much dope it rotted his brain, & instead ask my autistic students about animals.

Mel Gibson is among the many antisemites in Trump's inner circles. Also this: bsky.app/profile/qasi...
Donald Trump proudly pardoned the Nazi who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt while storming the Capitol and beating cops to death.
Anyone who actually believes Trump's prosecuting Mahmoud Khalil because of "antisemitism and rule of law" is either lying to themselves or a closeted Nazi.
