Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This shit is so ANGER inducing and hitting me in a visceral place.

And you better fucking believe that if the white folks can sic the cops on a sitting representative and 20 year trial attorney for refusing to sign a piece of paper, they will do whatever they want to you.

LA Tenants are going into month four—this September—of a utility strike.

Why? They’re fed up with RUBS: a scam ratio utility billing system that evenly divides a building’s utility usage among tenants without any formulaic explanation.

70% of the building is on strike.

Republicans never tell their voters not to vote.

That is purely democrats on the far left and foreign operatives who target democrats, especially but not exclusively, Black voters with that nonsense.

DAILY MEMO: Lawless 'Lawmen' Abduct Almost 30 Working Men From Car Washes and Home Depots, Again. It’s day 68. @eltragon.bsky.social

Pretty damn sure I saw some undercover ICE agents taking pics of construction workers next to Florence Station this morning. Take care out there L.A.

L.A. TACO is committed to staying on the front lines, exposing the truths they are trying to cover up and amplifying the voices of those who need it most. But we can’t do it alone—we still urgently need your help to keep covering this evolving crisis. givebutter.com/LA_TACO_TMC

Anyway fuck ICE. #LAmetro riders be wary of a potential #ICEraid at the construction site next to the Florence Station.

Like why else would you take pictures? Why would you buy a TAP card and leave after taking pictures of the construction workers?

Was it my stare? Fucking hope so.

Pretty sure I saw some fuck boy 🧊 agents at the Florence Metro station taking pictures of Latino construction workers this morning.

It's time to go Metro, the time of day where I get to see and smell the people of LA county. And if I'm lucky I'll get to pet a dog.

Riding public transportation is like watching an epic with frequent stops. You get highs, lows and laughs for $1.75 a ride if you don't jump in.

Brazilian President Lula just stated that the U.S. has tried to stage a coup in Brazil.
He also says it’s time for the world to move away from using the U.S. dollar in international trade. #cdnpoli

YouTube video by Democracy Now! Project Esther: NYT Details Right-Wing Plan to "Rebrand All Critics of Israel" as Hamas Supporters

Have you heard of Project Esther? EVERYONE needs to be aware of this. It’s dangerous.

How "Project Esther" forecast Trump's plan to silence protests, boost deportations The plan was reflected in the White House's moves to arrest Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil and pull universities' funding over antisemitism allegations.

Read about Project Esther, they are already implementing it.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

A speech on sovereignty everyone should hear.

Black women’s unemployment is rising. Economists say it’s a warning sign. New data released Thursday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics marked the third straight month of high unemployment rates for Black women.

Trump Administration to End Protections for 58 Million Acres of National Forests

It's not like the American public is clamoring for this, and it will remain inaccessible to >99% of the population. The point here is to spoil millions of acres of forest as an excuse to hand money to a handful of rich people who own companies that build/supply remote roads.
