LAPD pigs now occupying the steps in front of @jamuseum — the same site where Japanese Amerikans were once herded into buses and sent to the concentration camps.
Our struggles against imperialist violence are intertwined. FUCK ICE. FUCK THE LAPD. NEVER AGAIN IS NOW.
This isn’t the national guard or marines. This is LAPD - under the control of @MayorOfLA.
Media will try to pin this on the Feds and Trump but the reality is this is local police led by a Democratic mayor:
@NBA should instate the “Ball Don’t Lie” rule wherein the personal foul only counts against the offending player if the fouled player makes their first free throw.
Again, not to belabor the obvious, but apparently it’s necessary: a lot of the modern adornments - the “anti-woke” framing - serve as a (flimsy) disguise, so that people can indulge in infamous, age-old prejudices and pretend it’s new and different. And it works.
When Lincoln signed laws from Congress outlawing slavery (1862) and issued the Emancipation Proclamation (1863), he defied SCOTUS' infamous Dred Scott decision (1857). The New York Times' comment: "Nobody pretends this act is constitutional, and nobody cares if it is or not."
The City Council took time out of this afternoon's meeting to present an award to Signal Hill Petroleum, a local oil extractor, for donating $38,000 to fund the city's Movies in the Park program.
it’s impossible to understate the prevalence of fascism in LA. Its not just Proud Boys. It’s LAPD and LASD. It’s Torrance PD and Glendale PD. It’s every liberal who wants to round up unhoused residents and ship them off to Palmdale or locked tiny shed enclosures under the freeway
you can’t “just vote” or “just move” your way out of this. a small minority of christofascists has us in a chokehold and we need to start fucking acting like it.
