To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

And you, governor, should stop providing state cops to police protesters for ICE at Broadview.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 14h

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Anytime there is a flood in the continental US, it is the biggest story across all social media.

Apparently, the same as not true for a catastrophe in Alaska. There was a typhoon yesterday morning and much of western Alaska is now underwater with homes with people in them just floating away.

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Remigration

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]

This AI slop is not only ugly, and nonsense, and depicts protestors LEAVING the city, it also recreates and affirms exactly the aesthetics the inflatable costumes are meant to undermine. It reframes it as a Badass War For America’s Soul, which is EXACTLY what they’re trying to PREVENT MAGA from…

Two weeks ago we lost a giant of the movie posters world, Renato Casaro. Today we lost a modern Master of movie posters: DREW STRUZAN. I can guarantee you have at least seen 5 of his posters in your lifetime. The man has put his art on some of the most popular movie franchises (Indiana Jones, 1/4

If anything, for character insight, they could have examined the recent stuff. Say she's suffering PTSD from Civil War 2 still despite appearing like her usual self, green and grinning.

Also, kind of weird to have Avengers be a reoccurring point in history.

Chandler Ritter-Roberts @storyteller222.bsky.social · 22h

What hurt it for me was lack of imagination.

A Stone Age Avengers drenched in the iconography of the Marvel U. It had the opportunity to be unique - an Eternal and a Bloodstone among the roster could have been something.

All the ties made things smaller rather than grand legacies.

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill
