Left-Wing Activists Suggest Bribing Rioters With Cookies To Stay Peaceful at Upcoming Protests (Andrew Kerr/The Washington Free Beacon)

I got this useful info, especially the phone numbers, my my California state assembly person:
We've already seen peaceful demonstrators, legal observers, and even witnesses detained. These are serious and unpredictable situations, and I urge you: stay calm, stay safe, and do not engage directly with ICE agents. Always be peaceful and nonviolent.
Instead, call your local rapid response hotline:
Santa Cruz County: (831) 239-4289
Santa Clara County: (408) 290-…
Liberals would rather go to a peaceful candle light vigil for children who have had their parents stolen from them than brick a cop who's stealing parents away from their kids, and they wonder why all their politicians "are so concerned" about Gaza but aren't willing to actually do anything to stop arms shipments to Israel.

And just to be 100% clear, #LosAngeles is nailing it. Massive peaceful protests are great. That's absolutely unequivocally a good thing. So are burning cop cars. Diversity of tactics is critical.
Escalating radically at a protest with kids and grandmas is a shit thing to do. Don't do that unless it's absolutely necessary. Having kids and grandmas out protesting is important. Having them peacefully block vehicles with their bodies or occupy ICE facilitates *is* a strong thing. That is real. That's not virtue signaling, it does something... And sometimes that isn't enough. Sometimes things *need* to escalate to save people.
Diversity is good. Don't break the diversity of tactics *either way*. #LA seems to be doing a pretty good job right now or holding that balance. I hope to see more of that in every city.
We see despicable kow-towing of the officers of Fort Liberty (aka "bragg") in putting a tailored audience as a backdrop for FFOTUS and Hogsbreath - and allowing the soldiers to engage in unlawful political acts.
Previously I had faith that officers in the US Military would refuse unlawful orders.
I no longer have that faith.
I am beginning to fear that the path out of maga-land will not be a peaceful one.
Paul Krugman says nothing here the well-informed don’t already know, but I’m quoting here because he says it so crisply:
❝Until ICE moved in Los Angeles was, in fact, remarkably peaceful.…Los Angeles [minus ICE] is probably as safe as it has ever been.❞
❝The events unfolding in Los Angeles as you read this and, I fear, the events likely to unfold across much of America soon, quite possibly this weekend, suggest that the motivations of Trump and his cronies go deeper than mere (mere!) sadism. They want to use false claims of chaos to justify a power grab that, if successful, would mark the end of the American experiment.❞

oBrien spending at least two hours doing a retrospective about 20 year old bomb and has spent zero hours talking about the banning of a peaceful campaign group under terrorism legislation.
I turned it off. 🥱
The liberal obsession with optics serves the right and persuades no one. There is literally an active ethnic cleansing happening in the US right now, and the only thing that matters is making that as hard as possible to carry out.
Anarchists destroying intelligence assets saves lives. Every escooter thrown at a cop car is one less escort for a goon too afraid to kidnap random brown people without being flanked by a branch full of bad apples. Spray paint is not violence. Vandalism is not violence. Community self defense in all forms is legitimate.
Make no mistake, these raids are about changing demographics. Demographic trends have been shifting blue for a long time, and the right has, for a long time, been blaming "white replacement." Conspiracy theory aside, Democrats have also been relying on the growth of black and brown voters as a block. The nuances of whiteness as an identity are lost on the current administration and their supporters. They see that "white people will be a minority by 2050" and equate that with the "end of Western Civilization."
The only way to "save Western Civilization" is to change those demographics. Forced birth and forced removal are two sides of the same white nationalist objective. Of course they can't have due process, because they need to be able to kidnap anyone who they see as a threat to their demographic future.
They don't care about optics. The plan is to murder away any threat and flood everyone else with propaganda. There is no mythical middle. There's no one unconvinced. They know this, but they win when democrats buy that myth and save the police the work of policing the protests.
If your protest is 90% "peaceful," they'll take pictures of the 10% that isn't. If it's 99% peaceful, they'll shoot rubber bullets and teargas until someone throws a brick and take 100 pictures from a dozen angles. If its 100% "peaceful" and no one can be provoked, they'll generate pictures with AI or photoshop like they did during the George Floyd uprising and the pictures from the CHOP/CHAZ. Do you have literally no memory?

This is from a blog entry posted in 2014. Plus ça change…. People make a lot of noise about the 2nd Amendment, and still some noise about the 1st, but it’s the 4th we should be making noise about, lately, and the other 7 are worth taking a look at today, too, while you’re enjoying your beers and brats on the bbq.
Hey friends! We just returned from a longer walk along the #Osterseen near #Iffeldorf.
We try to avoid any elevation to support my wife's recovery from her knee surgery.
The walk was nice, but the weather was awful for photos. Very bright, very hazy. As much as I enjoyed the walk…

Dozens of peaceful protestors, including disabled people in wheelchairs,
were arrested last Wednesday, June 25, in Washington, DC,
while protesting Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,”
which will slash taxes,
dramatically increase funding for war and immigration enforcement,
and make devastating cuts to vital, popular programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

On the day the UK parliament voted to proscribe the citizen peaceful direct action group Palestine Action as supposedly terrorist, Channel 4 showed the searing Basement Films documentary "Gaza doctors under attack". It showed the actions of the Israeli terrorist State in destroying Gaza's healthcare system, murdering civilians of all kinds and targeting health workers some of whom have died following torture. Sprinkled throughout were the repetitive lies of the occupation.
Figured out how to create a Linux, MacOS (ARM) and Windows executable in a GitHub action for our PyGame mini game: https://github.com/jhutar/CatWars/blob/f2e61c4fcfd942d3e6e73ad2e9551fd61bc9ee25/.github/workflows/on-tag.yaml
I just checked the files from our vacation recently. One day we just did a short cycling loop in the neighbourhood.
Actually - nothing really exciting for us. But after a while I thought about all you, international friends here. And I assumed that most of you have probably no clue about my direct neighbourhood and the villages around.

❝Police on horseback charged at the crowd, striking some with wood rods and batons as they cleared the street in front of the federal building. Officers then fired teargas and crowd control projectiles at the large group, sending demonstrators, hotdog vendors and passing pedestrians fleeing through the street. Some have since regrouped, ignoring an LAPD dispersal order.

Dear Emily Thornberry,
I don't usually bother to write to you on most issues because I figure there is pretty much no point communicating with a whipped MP in a safe seat under first past the post. Such an MP has no reason to listen to their constituents at all, and is entirely a tool of the party leadership.
I make an exception today since I hear your government is about to classify Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Despite them being peaceful, non-violent, and dedicated entirely to preventing the greater crime of the ongoing genocide of Gazan Palestinians.
This is obviously a gross overreaction and a completely unjustifiable act designed not to prevent domestic terrorism but to cover up British forces and UK government involvement and collaboration with the genocide in Gaza.
If we are taking suggestions for groups to ban as terrorists even though they aren't terrorists, I would like to suggest the Labour Party! The party has helped facilitate a genocide abroad, and continues to supply the perpetrators with arms and intelligence to aid their actions.
I don't expect you to take that suggestion seriously, but maybe Reform will take it seriously when they get elected in a few years and I suggest it again to them. After all, a precedent will have been set that groups which aren't terrorists can be banned under anti-terror legislation anyway. Democracy will have already been eroded.
I was ready to be disappointed by this Labour government, but I confess that the level of gut-wrenching visceral disgust I am experiencing at them surpassed all my wildest expectations. Taking money from the disabled to buy new war-planes from a fascist US president while abetting a genocide in Gaza makes me wonder if Reform wouldn't be better in the end anyway. At least they might do electoral reform and nationalize the water companies.
Labour's only hope, the country's only hope, is to remove Starmer. I wish you had won that leadership election instead of him.
Anyway, as I say, I don't expect it to make any difference at all because under this election system even MPs in safe seats are nothing but tools of the party leadership and the party leadership seems determined. But I thought I'd let you know that I see you. I see what you are doing.
I support Palestine Action more than I support this government. Let me know where I should hand myself in for my "crime".
Yours sincerely,
Adam

Hello all!
I wasn't able to process the photos of my recent trips, but I wanted to share this one from last year.
I went there on a hot day to "take a couple of photos". In the end I spent 3h just at this waterfall searching for the right composition & interpretation, the right motive etc.
I love the result, but I'm surprised how much time I spent there to get it.
