Hey pundits, if you're arguing that it's the protesters fault that Donald Trump is illegally calling out US troops to counter public protests, The Onion is mocking you. Deservedly.

Other officials talking now. Sanctuary City logistics, how they've been planning for something like this, know your rights campaign, etc.

This is what a Sanctuary City looks like, in action, keeping commitments.

Mayor back at the mic "Stop the raids!"

Pasadena CAS boosted:

Now she's chewing out vandals and violent protestors.

That's fine. That's her job.

(Don't split.)

She's ending on the note: "Stop the raids. This is chaos that was started in Washington DC. We were peaceful on Thursday."

Catch this speech if you can.

LA mayor in full support of the protestors. Aired ~6pm PT.

#USPol #resist #resistance #antifa #solarpunk

Pasadena CAS boosted:

Mayor of LA right now is arguing for immigrants' rights. Calling out specific injustices.

I'm not sure I've ever seen that before, a major of a major US city clearly taking the side of protestors.

Now she's calling out federal government.
"Our city should not be used as an experiment." (Paraphrased.)

Improve your interactions with the Fae. It only takes a few seconds to tell them your real name and then they will be able to recognise you anywhere and "isolate your voice" which they say will be very good for you, don't worry about it.

This can fuck right off.

Just a reminder that Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically any genetic tech today, was only possible because of an extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. The value of basic #science cannot be predicted and often is realized decades after it's done.

Hong Kong protestors say:

"Do Not Split."

Do not condemn the people on your side who embrace tactics you disagree with.

Do. Not. Split.
#doNotSplit

Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.

The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them.

The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

@virtualbri based on what kcal is showing it looks like there’s more media and random people passing by than protestors.

Pasadena CAS boosted:

Just FYI media, Paramount is its own small city of 54k people in LA County. So saying “Los Angeles” feeds the narrative the protests are bigger and scarier than they are.

“Trump sends ICE and the National Guard to cause terror and provoke small mostly minority city in Los Angeles County” doesn’t sound the same does it?

Pasadena CAS boosted:

@tankgrrl @glyph @jonathankoren yes but the INS also sucked

People forget that ICE wasn't even created until 2003. The Bourne Identity is older than ICE.

Abolishing ICE is the centrist position. #USPol

Thinking of Bill Atkinson tonight.

A portrait of a man. The portrait is roughly divided into two styles: the left side is more painterly, while the right side is a bitmap composed of pixels. The man has slightly wild black hair, glasses, and a mustache, and is smiling. The overall composition is mixed-media on a gray background, with tinges of rainbow colors and colored pixels placed throughout the painting. The person depicted is Apple designer and engineer Bill Atkinson. The pixel part of this is based on an existing icon included in HyperCard; I'm unsure of who the artist is. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"Even though Google is fundamentally a spyware advertising company (some 80% of its revenue is advertising; the proportion was even higher back then), we Engineers were kept carefully away from that reality, as much as meat eaters are kept away from videos of the meat industry: don't think about it, just enjoy your steak."
