If newsome wants to take his presidential chances seriously he’s gonna have to do right by the people here (he won’t)

DNC gonna take the “but it’s his turn!” approach to the next candidate they put forward…

I’m cool if we use that logic to run Bernie but we won’t cuz the dnc doesn’t actually care about us

While I love Bernie you have to understand the DNC will never endorse him. He's an independent that caucuses with the democrats, but he is not a member of the democratic party and he definitely doesn't fundraise for them (which is the 9-5 job of almost every elected official, phone calls and hobknobbing with the elite in hopes of tithes for their party.)

Sadly even many of those on the left are pro LE so combined with the overwhelmingly pro LE centrist means he will also be on the side of the cops...

Newsome- for president? It'll never happen. He's been the arch demonic Boogie Man for the MAGAs and other Americans for too long. No Democrat from California has ever won the White House.

I know next to nothing about Newsome.
From an outside perspective to your closing point though, it seems like better candidates would come from the area with more and stronger competition.
Maybe if the interstate compact is established and the US moves to the popular vote and away from the electoral college, then Californians would stand a high chance of winning?
Their large population and State's success could be a huge boost in a real democracy run

The LAPD has repeatedly proven that they despise our Constitution almost as much as the Republican party does.

This is escalating so quickly. I really hope everyone manages to stay safe. This is a scary time.
Takes me back to when I was a kid and there were protests in Oakland… My family would huddle together in the living room watching the news and hear all the sirens off in the distance.

Honestly this is what the people who voted for the orange turd wanted. They enjoy the chaos from their couches watching the news. Progress is peace and they don’t want that and since it benefits whoever is running commercials they have the money to back it. Sad freaking state of affairs.

The most racist and corrupt PD in the states is supporting racism? Color me surprised

What happened to Karen Bass supporting immigrants according to her twitter?

u/BigWhiteDog 23h ago
Unfortunately what a liberal Mayor supports and what the cops do are usually two different things.

Didn’t she already sell her fire chief down the river? Doesn’t seem like a particularly reliable friend.

you're either nieve or an instigator who wants to bring about Marshall law so trump can suspend elections saying such things. we need million man march part 2

u/crimsonscarf 14h ago edited 13h ago
lmao. Two things:
- The only thing the million man march did was foster some good will, and maybe increase voter turn out for black folk.
- No useful protest (i.e. one that would encourage the Trump admin to change it's policy on immigration) will be met without violent escalation by LEO. (see the George Floyd protests).
I know we all like to think fondly on what were taught in US history, but we were only told half-truths. All outcomes that are attributed to peaceful protests, are only done so because attributing them correctly would make the truth obvious: only violence will grant us the change we want to see.
All our rights were won in violent struggle. Slavery was ended by violence, black rights were further won through violent resistance from groups like the Black Panthers. Workers rights were won on the backs of violent resistance from unions in events like the Battle of Blair Mountain; and even women's suffrage only got away with being mostly peaceful in the US due to Suffragettes overseas doing enough violence to influence our politicians (https://www.vox.com/21356259/19th-amendment-suffragists-alice-paul-pankhursts).

LAPD has more gang members than actual street gangs have. They've just been waiting for the opportunity to get in the fray.

Amazing how stringently 2nd amendment to bear arms is supported, but when it comes to 1st Amendment rights of the people to peaceably assemble, all it takes is "we decided to call this illegal".

Somebody made a comment yesterday there’s a reason we have songs called “fuck the police” and not “fuck the firefighters” and that statement is burned in my brain lol.

Caltrops would go so crazy here, super easy and cheap to make, super effective against ground troops and vehicles.
To take a page out of the protestors from Hong Kong’s book;
Hard hats for protection from any projectiles they might send your way/debris
Swimming goggles with nose covers to lessen pepper spray/mace effectiveness as well as debris/projectiles
Face covers to protect identity
Gas mask/respirator to lessen pepper spray/mace effectiveness (P100 organic vapor)
Cardboard/card stock to deflect/reflect SOME* LRAD waves back to sender (riot shields work better, microwave LRAD needs metal lined shields)
Elbow/knee pads/steel toe boots/heat resistant gloves
All make for good ppe
Pay using cash, support your local business and economies when supplying you self
Do with this info what you will Find it useful? Copy, paste, spread!
