Maybe Americans can finally admit the quiet part. Its only illegal if "someone" is gonna enforce it.

DAILY MEMO: Hundreds of New Agents Arrive in L.A. as Chief Bovino Prepares to Take “This Show” to Another City @eltragon.bsky.social
Dr. King left us with blueprints.
All landlords actually, everyone else enjoy your day
The genocidal language has seen an uptick and NOBODY sees it is terrifying.
I am not seeing "Constitutional amendment reversing Citizens United" on any of these New Reconstruction wishlists folks are circulating, and. Absent starting over from scratch, I don't see us establishing any semblance of democracy here without that plus Supreme Court expansion.
I hope people read these stories and are encouraged to take their own action: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/08/la-u...
It's a sign of the times that this is about the National Guard occupation but my first thought was "oh yeah I remember when armed men in uniform (cops) hid in the bushes surrounding a relative's house because the Nazis tried to SWAT me there"
Then they shouldn't be scabs. Its simple
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Maybe they should refuse to do the work of union labor. Dont be a scab
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Do L.A. people know that you have a photobooth museum in your city? www.photomatica.com/photo-booth-...
Fuck these people, truly.
Gee. Kinda like the Black Panthers were targeted. This is the playbook.
Unless DeSantis plans on having them watch the crosswalks 24/7, Orlando is gonna win this battle.
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Finally! The algorithm has self corrected.
I can
He's not going to resign Bernie, now what?
I caused this to happen.
I aspire.

Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.
The main people who got us here cannot get us out. That's what everyone is seeing in real time.
You have to organize. I don't know what else to tell people. And organizing is not sexy and it is difficult and it matters that you be persistent. We need long-distance runners right now.
Oh great. So not just a phase then? Thanks.
Is the youngest 5? My grandkids everything is butt or poop related.
What do you people have to say now? Still loving your boy?
Must agree, did not see that one coming
Well, this isn't good.
Cuz ring doorbells have worked out so well im guessing
I tried telling folks same shit about ring door bells & now ring basically gives the data to any agency who asks. Folks are crazy
Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
Traitor Air GmForce vet get honors, but trans Air Force vets that served honorably for 15+ years don’t get their retirement. Everything with this regime is a perversion of American institutions.
How bout a livestream option?
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

A small local ice cream shop just went all out on ther Facebook about the Nazi shit in the white house & its GOLD!!! Check out the Bank Street Creamery in Easton PA. That's how ta do it folks #icecream #bankstreet #easton #fuknazis #nazishit
Video shows a blanket knitted by Irish activists as a tribute to Palestinian children killed in Gaza. Each square of the blanket represents 10 of the nearly 19,000 children killed by Israeli forces in the besieged enclave.
As I say, fascism can only end two ways, at the barrel of a gun or at the end of a rope.
Finally something the two parties can agree on: not housing people www.commondreams.org/news/trump-n...
Today's delight: Tom Morello's *Fuck ICE* playlist - music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
They should show this clip in their recruitment videos. Maybe fewer kids brainwashed into enlisting
They'll do anything for overtime
Larry almost gets me in my feelings. Id vote for him.
My councilwoman @janeese4dc.bsky.social put out a plea to neighbors to not order food delivery because of law enforcement targeting delivery drivers.
Somehow Henry Kissinger was even more evil than I thought, which is really saying something
What a horror show
A good friend told me a few weeks ago: "I thought I would be different under fascism but I'm just the exact same person and it's profoundly disappointing to me." I think this is a more widespread view than is publicly discussed. I think that disappointment in ourselves is morphing into negativity.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Be a real shame if the done work somehow came undone
I realize NO ONE else has this take, but I'm gonna say it: The National Guard are scabs now. These are potentially union jobs, many of which were outsourced, now they're insourced, but without union labor.
Agree 100%
Probably AIPAC
I guess some of you are unaware that US police are shooting and killing more people than ever this year. Why would a National Guards person shooting a civilian cause any more consternation than what we experience already to the tune of at least 3 people a day?
Ahem
Snoop killed a guy.
Theyre exposed pretty much from the womb. Kids here get the first day of hunting season off of school. Really. Its a thing. Sucks.
Now THIS is genius! It would be terrible to let this stop with trump. I plan to send copies to both of the "representatives " from my state
Virginia Giuffre isn’t here to tell her story anymore, but she wrote a memoir and it’s coming out in October. She deserves to be heard and remembered. #BookSky Details here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/712958...
Everybody & their brother owns & legally carries here. And an open carry state. These hillbillies long to go down in such a blaze of glory.
I was wondering who was gonna fire first. Shocked it wasn't LA honestly
Same. Ive wondered much of my life why noone did anything to stop it. And here we are
If you can still get out, get out now Florida. This is not a drill.
I woke up at the beach, with all the kids & grands together
People outside of the U.S. see the country clearer than most of the people in the country. And all I hear from comrades in other countries is: "Are you all aware that you are living under a fascist government already?"
Working for Insurance companies
Are reporters asking why only cities with Democratic Governors and Democratic Mayors are being invaded?
It was a shining light during covid. Philly was the spot!
There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one. If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving. Either we all get saved or none of us do.
I am literally begging anyone who does any kind of journalism to spend an hour in an eviction courtroom every week for a month. Please. The eviction crisis in this country is downplayed at best and ignored at worst. It's racialized state violence that hearkens back to the worst of Jim Crow,
Just this month a local woman & her new boyfriend were stalked & assassinated by her ex despite multiple reports to police. The families just filed a lawsuit. Cops dont care about women.
Yes, this.
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.
Third Way wants democrats to not even mention LGBTQIA +. And you think these people are going to fight for us? They want us eradicated just as bad as the right (because they are the right)
Its a miracle noone has opened fire yet.
He said it. Chicago is next. This is an authoritarian order being pushed by a racist wannabe-dictator to terrorize one of America’s bluest and most diverse cities. Video incoming re: knowing your rights when the National Guard invades our city.
For the first time in over a century, sockeye salmon are able to return to Okanagan Lake #BritishColumbia Syilx Nation has been working to restore sockeye salmon in Okanagan waters for decades www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Gavin is a hard no folks.
And yet in my state we pay school taxes based solely on property value so Im wondering what school board okay that cost. Then run against one of em. Fight back.
If Trump stays alive much longer I think this is inevitable. Honestly, I thought it was going to happen with LA but as it turned out Newsom did not have the intestinal fortitude for that. When it DOES happen I think it's final countdown to civil war at that point.
good shit here. there’s more of us than there are of them, never forget it
Miller complaining about protestors-- "respectable" old white ones, no less!-- is a strong sign that 1) they are scared of protest; 2) protests are happening; and 3) they are having an impact, even if the media refuses to cover them.
Chattel slavery was a full blown genocide that lasted two hundred fifty years. I have absolutely no interest in downplaying its severity. It is legitimately one of the worst crimes against humanity ever committed.
One of the most important things that's happening in the Mayoral race is that NY DSA and other groups are ALREADY organizing for what comes after the election and if you live in NYC, you should really join in because A LOT OF PEOPLE POWER will be needed against the forces that want to crush Zohran.
Two things can be true: 1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings 2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed
Cops breaking the law. Shocked.
I just keep seeing evidence everywhere that so-called liberals and progressives have rapidly given up feeling responsible for remembering that people of color experience a different version of the world *because race is a thing* and have life worlds that white people are not privy to
On Saturday, August 16, hundreds of Latinx punks gathered at MacArthur Park for an evening of anti-authoritarian cumbia and hardcore ska punk as one of the venue’s 10 free summer concerts. By @jwhendricks.bsky.social Full story: lataco.com/ska-punk-mac...
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
But use a VPN
Once again tapping the sign that reads “the alternative to collective bargaining is dragging out the factory owner from his house and beating him to death in front of his family,” because that’s what we had before collective bargaining Unions are there for *your* protection too, management
I mention this only because (a) the encampment protesters are incredibly courageous young people still facing backlash for their actions even though everyone seems to have forgotten about them, and (b) free speech matters, especially when it's opposing genocide, and that fight is important.
Fighting fascism is a collective effort. That means each of us has to be involved. Cheering on a politician isn't and never will be fighting fascism.
Nailed it
