I'll be opening my studio and load-testing my social battery for the Brewery's bi-annual Artwalk. Stop by and say hello.

Pretty sure that is SRT, not BORTAC. SRT is Border Patrol's SWAT equivalent. BORTAC is their Special Forces analog. Have also seen SRT deployed in L.A.

100%, can confirm. Kettled crowd. No order audible order to disburse given. Straight to gas and bangers. Sheriff Luna blames "agitators" he's either lying or being fed bad intel.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

What You Need To Know About Stephen Miller’s Connection To Richard Spencer, White Nationalism & Why It Matters On Tuesday, Michael Hayden on the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog, dropped a bombshell that exposed further connections between White House policy advisor, Stephen Miller, and white natio...

Reminder that what we are seeing today is the result of a rich kid that went to Duke University getting into white nationalist activism alongside Richard Spencer now leading a crusade to rid the US of brown people. itsgoingdown.org/what-you-nee...

I grew up in Louisiana (mostly). Sen Kennedy's accent is 100% an act. He's code switching to appeal to wilfully ignorant republicans.

Cops are kidnapping folks in broad daylight and the cost of living continues to skyrocket.

Democrats: Ha! Look at Trump being too chicken shit to go to war with Iran.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Hi all. Shuffling socials to something that is hopefully less of a dumpster fire. My public facing work is at www.danielbergeron.com but most of my time is spent renovating my home and upskilling activists to the best of my abilities 'cos of the current political hellscape.
