The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The Mayor has imposed a curfew on DTLA tonight.
For those who whom might not understand the geography of this city, or the scope of this “violence”…
The curfew boundary is *literally* across the street from me…
…and I haven’t seen a single ANYTHING.
LA IS NOT RIOTING

The courts - even Trump appointed judges - have been hammering him at every turn. That’s brought me some hope that at least one of the coequal branches is taking their duty seriously.
The protests are bringing me hope - and they’re scaring the living shit out of the GOP, so double bonus there!

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
