We could make such an awesome cell of double agents.

In my case, I was born here, raised here, and only know English. Both of my parents wanted me to be as Americanized as possible. I have almost no visible Latino traits.

Despite the odds, I have found myself really resonating with Latino culture as I have gotten older, and have been heavily considering moving south. I am very aware of the privilege I have in this country due to the dice roll of how I look. If my brown brothers and sisters ever want a double agent around here, they’ve got my number.

I am a white appearing half Latino—there but by the grace of god go I. I take this fight personally.

If you are even vaguely Latino in this country, it could happen to you at any moment. Nobody is safe.

That’s why Jesus Christ is my save-a.

Fuck. That. Shit.

Of all the red lines we’ve crossed so far, this one almost feels like small beans. The standard has gotten very out of whack in a very short time.

Magnets, bro, how do they work? /s

Why isn’t this the standard?

Thank you for your tireless work, as always.

In my opinion, the protestors for Palestinian recognition were confusing the message. The protest was literally called “no kings” because it was rejecting his attacks on our democracy and his harmful domestic policy.

While America has supported Israel (disgracefully) during their genocide, that is a foreign policy move that has been shared by every president in the last two decades or so, and does not constitute the king-like behavior that has made him different from other presidents. Meanwhile, the deporting of legal immigrants, detention of citizens by the military, gutting of government agencies, and ignoring of judicial orders is all highly unusual, and is exactly the reason it is called “no kings”.

I hope your blog will address why you chose to make the Palestinian issue a central theme of your visual presentation, and why you think it belongs under the headline of a “no kings” protest when it is a policy decision that is shared by both parties.

To be abundantly clear before people think I’m pro-Israel, I believe they are committing genocide against the Palestinian people, and they should be stopped and punished for crimes against humanity. I have no position against the Palestinians at all, I only question whether or not their struggle belonged in this protest, just like I think weed legalization would have been out of place too, even though it is a position I heavily support.

In my opinion, the people in LA are human and normal—opposing oppressors is one of the most natural reactions any animal can have.

I hear the spirit of what you’re saying, and don’t oppose it with any venom, but I also think that it would take a smaller number of privileged liberals getting shot with rubber bullets to create massive outrage than revolutionary leftists. It will be cool if things can work with just a warning dire warning of numbers, but it will also be incredibly useful to the cause if the cops fuck this one up.

I don’t say this lightly, my own mother will be there and I would never want her to be hurt, but I also know how much it would motivate her bourgeois friends if she experienced even a waft of teargas. Much like republicans, centrists are most strongly motivated when circumstances hit them directly.

Or OTO-USA.org if you want a cult that’s not full of squares.

Of course, it’s literally the least I can do. The only other option is to do nothing, and that is unacceptable, in my book.

Not today, Satan.

I will be exceedingly disappointed if it is another inert collection of liberals who are only there to pat themselves on the back and get shots for the gram like the women’s march was. LA should be the example, not the cautionary tale. Make these bastards feel it, and don’t make it easy.

This guy codes.
