β€’ Mamdani hasn’t actually said or done anything antisemitic
β€’ He did not call to β€˜globalize the intifada’

LAPD issues dispersal order downtown, fires tear gas and rubber bullets

By Rebecca Ellis and Ruben Vives

Tensions rose downtown late Saturday afternoon as Los Angeles Police Department officers on horseback pushed back hundreds of protesters from the Federal Building, charged into the crowd on horseback, fired tear gas canisters and shot less-lethal munitions.

The LAPD issued a dispersal order around 4 p.m., saying some protesters were β€œthrowing rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects,” but few in the crowd seemed to realize the order had been given. Within minutes, police had cleared the area and moved people away from the troops.

LAT here echoes what LAPD deputy chief said on KNX: Police claim some protesters threw rocks.

Let's see it. LAPD has THOUSANDS of bodcams out there. Downtown is blanketed in security cameras. Show. Us. The. Video.

Then let's compare it to the use of force in response.

Receipts must be checked. 🧾

Captain America: The First Avenger. Especially when Tommy Lee Jones says this bit: "You and I are gonna have a conversation later that you won't enjoy."

Lady selling tamales door to door (2016) charged $1 a piece. Often, she ran out before getting to the end of the block. By early 2024, I had to beat the bushes to find a tamale lady, and she was charging $2.50 per tamale. Yikes!

It has NOT escaped my notice that only women in positions of power and responsibility have been removed from their Federal jobs: two from EEOC and three from the military. Makes me wonder if they've been handed an apron and a frying pan as they were escorted out of their offices.

Trump administration offers roughlyΒ 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign An email went out to the federal workforce Tuesday evening, with a subject line that had ties to Elon Musk.

These idiots. If 2 million people have no job (money), they can't contribute to the economy. Rich guys can't get richer if nobody has the discretionary income to buy their doo-dads and gizmos. Cutting off their noses (Fed employees) to spite their own faces (profits). Forecasting is not their fortΓ©.

This is a good way to provoke a recession: withdraw federal infrastructure spending and do it at the same time as imposing a massive price hike throughout the economy due to tariffs.

No argument from me. Yes, bigotry and misogyny had a hand in a percentage of the voting behavior, but the final vote counts felt a bit manipulated.
