I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

I am completely mystified by grown ass men incapable of bringing, I don’t know, a tote? A baggu? A plastic bag from grocery outlet? to a show they are attending and planning on purchasing items at. Ah fuck I’m turning into Mitski aren’t I?

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Myself!

I won’t admit in public how I learned this but apparently one of Vai’s jobs for FZ was to do a full transcription of “Roxy and Elsewhere”.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

In old enough to remember the campaign to “find the liberal Rush Limbaugh.” This will work as well.

The GOP didn’t build Rogan, and Democrats sure won’t be able to build a liberal one.

They should focus on funding existing liberal outlets and local newspapers and Spanish language radio and TV.

My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more:

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Just a reminder, if you were an REI member who purchased more than $10 worth of items in 2024 or joined in 2024, you can vote until midnight May 1st to reject the proposed slate of anti-labor Trump supporters for the REI board vote.escvote.com/REI/
