Something about seeing some of the beautiful blooming jacaranda trees that are everywhere in LA in this picture really got me :(

I’ve at least gotten better at not knocking the whole damn glass everywhere.

California is full of people who are Mexican immigrants and people who have lived here since it was Mexico. ‘Stop waving Mexican flags after Mexican Americans and Latinos in general were kidnapped off the street’ is stupid and every minute spent focusing on making protestors protest in a way which will satisfy everyone—which, what do you know, just happens to be a fool’s errand that will result in support from nobody—is a minute you could have been telling ICE and the LAPD to fuck off instead.

Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.

Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.

I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

Unironically, cows are great indicators of what’s normal in fields and pastures. They’re up over there investigating ICE because they’ve never seen them or their vehicles before.

During WWII there are stories of both sides having issues in rural France because milk cows would come up to their hiding spots, crying to be milked (going unmilked is painful for dairy cows).

Not gonna lie, toast would work on me as long as it had butter on it.

I like to imagine they were just found in random shoes over the day that people lost/forgot. Someone gets to Vegas and goes ah, fuck, I lost my coke shoe!

Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.

Talk is cheap and the criticisms of anyone not at the protests are worthless.
