So, about LA, as someone who grew up in CA, went to UCLA, &is visiting family/friends this weekend during #SueWalkstheEarth
I am literally not worried.
Media depicts it as "a war zone"βit is not.
The police *are* rioting against peaceful protesters, trying to agitate.

@Marrekoo Ik snap wat je bedoelt, maar 'Klassiek Liberaal' is de rabiaat-rechtse vleugel binnen de VVD.

JOVD vindt 'Klassiek Liberaal' niet liberaal
De liberale politieke jongerenorganisatie JOVD vindt de VVD-pressiegroep Klassiek Liberaal helemaal niet liberaal. Het X-account van Klassiek Liberaal blokkeert namelijk liberale accounts met een kritische mening.de Kanttekening
Ik bedoel de mensen die klassiek liberale standpunten aanhangen, inderdaad. Niet dat groepje van Paul Slettenhaar.

My @torontostar column: Critics said multiplexes were madness. It turns out they provide cheaper and larger places to live. (No major parking problems, either!)
With the kind of data they've got, Toronto council should have no doubt: sixplexes are the sensible move.

Police remind public not to download or provide funding to mobile application endangering national security
The National Security Department (NSD) of the Hong Kong Police Force reminds the public today (June 10) not to download a mobile application named "Reversed Front: Bonfire"...www.info.gov.hk
Just a day earlier the CCP-installed Hong Kong administration came up with new laws protecting the Party-state from disobedience: Businesses can be held liable to draconian punishments for any missteps (even perceived hostility towards the dictatorship) *by their employees or even contractors*.
Think about it.
Of course the CCP knows from experience that democracies aren't willing to stand up against them and disrupt all the business over mere run-of-the-mill despotism.
They had countless reasons to stop collaborating over the decades already and never did. π€·ββοΈ

in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk ππ± • • •Sat am: I'll be driving from one visit-stop on one side of LA to the other side of LA, stopping to meet a friend for tea in the middle.
No traffic=1.5 hr drive
My biggest concern/hope is there will be so many people turning out for the No Kings peaceful protests that traffic will be crazy.

in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk ππ± • • •I seriously want to join the protests β was already planning to, and want to even more now, but logistics might interfere. I'll be there in spirit for sure.
I'll avoid the part where the police are rioting, but I really can't emphasize enough how easy that is to do. LA is MASSIVE.

But he canβt even find places for his βtroopsβ to sleep, not because there aren't hotels (I'm booking fine!) but because their planning is shit.

And increase funding for ICE/terror.

in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk ππ± • • •Trump could escalate further, from non-lethal(that still maim and kill) to firing bullets. I can't say what would happen but 2000 troops would be nowhere near sufficient to "pacify" downtown much less the rest of LA.
We need MASS PROTEST to tell him to fuck off out of LA (& everywhere else).
