To be clear if you show up to a picket line like this and start making a union look bad for clout you deserve all the smoke. I don’t give a shit how young they are.

Why didn’t you have this tough guy attitude when I snatched the sign out of your hand bro? Y’all left immediately after that. Seems like once you realized the camera wasn’t protecting you, you dipped.

To be clear I have no idea why this guy had this sword, which side of the protest he was on or anything. I am against pigs pulling guns in a crowded protest in general.
A pro-genocide Zionist entering the counter protest at UCLA today yells "Kill all of you bastards". These are the people UCLA laid out the red carpet for today.
I have never heard anything close to this rhetoric being used by the pro-Palestinian side.
What happened at UCLA should be a wake up call to everyone.
I spent the day covering the student protests as they intended to hold space on campus in order to read the names of 46,000 Palestinians killed by Israel.
Hmm what is more bigoted?
Not wanting a therapist who doesn’t understand the emotional weight of witnessing a genocide or consistently going after a Muslim person with 1/30th your audience and encouraging hate to them?
Man has officially lost it. If you go to your therapist you over time learn about them too!
You can absolutely HATE Zionism without having an ounce of hatred towards Jewish people. Ethan has just picked a Muslim woman and started twisting all of her words
BREAKING: Actionists cut through 3 security fences to get inside Elbit's 'highly secure' compound and break into Kent's Israeli weapons factory.
Once inside, they begun dismantling machinery, technology and parts used to arm the Gaza genocide.
Buy tickets to Films for Gaza 2 instead of this. We’re screening films made in Gaza by Gazans and 100% of proceeds go to the PCRF. The first one resulted in a $3k donation.
It’s an objective fact that Frogan puts more time and work into her looks on any given day than these people do in an entire year. Frogan is one of the most stylish people on the entire website while these guys are wearing a single pair of cargo pants for 4 weeks.
Incels: STFU!
Bro they actually took a haul picture of this? 🤣 Police are the most useless waste of public funds. The dumbest kids at your high school, obsessed with getting on local news and affirmed every step of the way. What a joke.
Fun fact, the woman on the far left of this video is Toni McBride, a gun influencer and LAPD officer in the Newton division, earlier in this video, Keanu references her division by saying “Shootin’ Newton!” a nickname for the division referencing the violence they’re known for.
Welp actually now I do have something that explains the absurdity of this situation.
A YouTuber named Danny Duncan frequently uses this man in his trashy YouTube videos. Immediately after the police left, he went and spoke with a group of young men early 20’s late teens.
Apologies for boosting this rage bait bot account but John Oliver was explicitly calling for police budgets to be cut throughout 2020.
His coverage on the George Floyd movement was one of the only ones that highlighted people on the ground and listened to their demands.
❗️ NEW WORK ALERT ❗️
The workforce that provides sheet cakes for Baskin Robbins has had enough of the forced overtime, unsafe working conditions and lack of sick days.
After 6 weeks, they're leading one of the longest running strikes in America, and they're stronger than ever.
NEW: Workers who make cakes for Baskin Robbins are forced to work 12-14 hours/day, make 13+ cakes/minute & get 3 sick days/year.
Workers say they’ve developed arthritis & been denied time off for cancer treatments.
Now 100+ mainly immigrant Latina workers are on strike.
So many American media elite are bending over backwards to make the point of how the Ukrainian invasion is so much worse than other wars… because they’re white.
Don’t be like this. Palestinian lives matter. Yemeni lives matter. Iraqi lives matter. Ukrainian lives matter.
“This isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan. [Kyiv] is a relatively civilized city where you wouldn’t expect this to happen.”
This isn’t even OANN or Fox. This overt white supremacy is on CBS. Absolutely disgusting dehumanization of people of color.
At UCLA’s encampment again today. Incredible peaceful and beautiful vibes. Students sitting in circles sharing info on the history of student movements, donations of food flooding in.
So inspiring.
@Dexertonox
Was this before or after he spent an hour going through a workplace sexual harassment victim’s Twitter thread criticizing her relentlessly to his audience?
These are not socialist positions. The path to socialism will not include Zionism, it will not include defending police unions.

@ArielElyseGold
What exactly was done poorly? They protested peacefully and were brutalized by the same fascist mobs that threw explosives into the encampment at UCLA.
You sound like you just don’t want people to protest illegal auctions of stolen land.
Do not let this lead you to despair, let it radicalize you.
Keep Gaza in your heart. Keep a radical imagination of a free Palestine. Hope is a muscle and it will atrophy if it isn’t exercised.

So proud to be part of the team bringing this movement more eyeballs. Collective action gets the goods y’all!!
Sweaty af & sunburnt but my first IRL was a success! Today’s event was incredible & the energy was ~PALPABLE~
51 days into the strike & the turnout today is proof that we are stronger than ever. The AMPTP is scared, y’all.

I don’t donate or support charities and causes I don’t personally understand. I’m not educated in those fields and don’t understand why you are weighing your views/virtues or someone else’s against me? I’m up/down 1-2 mil a day, what makes you think something is entitled to that?
Posting this shit harms the movement to free Palestine so much. Nick Fuentes is a horrific Nazi that should never be platformed.
Jewish organizations are leading the mass movement against Zionism right now and have for a long time. They are most likely sacrificing family
Standing next to a poster that gives the definition of abolition inside of an abolitionist space, and calling the cops on an activist is definitely not something a progressive does.
The replies and quotes to this are really disheartening.
If we consider ourselves abolitionists or students of restorative justice, this is what it looks like. We can’t replicate the punitive systems of punishment and harm that got us here.
At UCLA where students have built an incredible encampment completely surrounded by barricades.
Much much different than yesterday at USC, no police presence, safety team on point. We keep us safe.
Listen, a real conversation needs to be had about
@DSA_LosAngeles
and their city council candidates.
@nithyavraman
You aren't socialist if you vote for an increase in LAPD funding. You aren't progressive if you vote for 3 times the spending on LAPD than homelessness.
Clown ass LASD gang members always try to find the quietest spot in my neighborhood to take naps and scroll on their phones. Shameful waste of county resources.
The political corruption in LA City Council was laid bare these past few weeks and even your DSA faves are implicated.
Kenneth Mejia got more votes than anyone in LA HISTORY, however his appointment to the Oversight and Ethics committee was unanimously shot down 14-0.
A Vice President for a political consulting firm that specializes in campaigns for local office has been nominated (not by us) to the Ethics Commission - the watchdog over the City's elected officials & enforcer of campaign/lobbying/anti-corruption laws.
How TikTok Accidentally Created a Scientology Heartthrob
A group of protesters is trying to "end" Scientology — but a social media obsession with one person could derail the movement.
Story:
The protest was kettled, there was no way to obey police orders to move or leave.
Police on one side pushed protestors into police on the other side as they opened fire with rubber bullets at point blank range. Police beat people with batons, they put knees on protestors backs.
Waking up it’s hard to not feel like the world is a fundamentally different place today. Something deep in our society broke last night.
Fascist gangs nationwide, some with badges some with masks, launched coordinated attacks on teenagers asking for a genocide to stop.
They look like they are about to play paintball with the bros not try and fight some cops 😭 what is that cut up plastic trash bin and bike helmet going to do…
I can’t get over this mirror image

It’s been 7 hours and you have 3 likes on this post Jenny. Might be time to delete this, go back to your writing desk and reflect on why you got this so wrong.
We should all be alarmed when a protest explicitly following police orders, the police stop giving orders in order to brutalize the protest.
There was no dispersal order given when the vast majority of arrests were made. There was nowhere to disperse to even if it was.
Let me be clear as someone who has had a camera at both USC and UCLA and worked directly with the organizers both times to ensure that I could film.
If you respect their asks, which exist solely for the safety of the group, this will never happen. If you treat people with

This shit is so dangerous. The community needs to know when to get serious. Providing fuel for right wing delusions and putting your favorite creator at the center of it is such a terrible idea.

Wait, you actually don’t see any difference between a commodity supplier and an unregulated crypto casino? When have any of you ever talked about amazon’s labor practices before this?
@KateCagle
So if your audit finds things that are offensive to the power structures that exist they make sure it won’t reach the public?
Damn, would be crazy if a controller candidate was already establishing lines of communication to the public outside of the mayor and city council. 🤔
In 2020 McBride shot and killed Daniel Hernandez. She was never prosecuted or punished internally.
Her father, Jamie McBride, is the head of the LAPD Officers Association. LAPD’s labor organization (NOT a union) that represents police officers after they commit murder.
Welp, this motion by Nithya Raman, to make political flyers about Palestine a hate crime was just approved by another DSA-LA candidate Hugo Soto Martinez.
Inexcusable. No amount of public statements about Israel by DSA will undo the harm to the movement their electeds cause.
Locking replies bc yall are unwashed incels proving in nearly every reply that Islamophobia and misogynistic hate is what is motivating you. Hold these blocks.
@MoistCr1TiKaL
Please show me a single time you have ever said the name “Chris Smalls” the words “Amazon labor union” or discussed these working conditions once before this.
This is so obviously a plea for a big money contract or prepping your audience for one already signed.
This was a peaceful protest by a brave group of students dedicated to holding space to honor those murdered at the hands of the Israeli regime.
There are no excuses for the police actions yesterday, there are no excuses for UCLA admin using violence against peaceful students.
Cerise Castle should be leading the LA Times investigative room and Ground Game LA is pushing her out of their reporting team.
Unconscionable, cowardly behavior. Reinstate Cerise and Ben.
I’ve been on Knock LA’s admin team since 2022. I’ve coordinated skills building workshops w/ journalism orgs, overseen award winning reporting & secured major funders. Last night

The “Museum of Tolerance” hosted Karen Bass standing next to an Info Wars Nazi as she rolled out her plan to crack down on first amendment protected protests in our city.
The plan includes banning masks and requiring permits for all public demonstrations.
Defund the police. Never call the police. End mass incarceration.
Special education teachers and paras in schools across America deal with these kinds of incidents all the time, they don’t use violence. They don’t use cages.
