Working with our partners Evident and @CALMatters we have monitored the LA raids, discovering recurring trends and tactics used by officers.
Footage collected is of more than 100 arrests and shows agents from the likes of Border Patrol (BP) and, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arresting people in public spaces, from car washes to swap meets, with officers often obscuring their identities and sometimes using significant force. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/07/08/masked-armed-and-forceful-finding-patterns-in-los-angeles-immigration-raids/?utm_source=mastodon

I retreated to the plumeria grove, where there were not many blooms. But not many people either. Perfect.

I swear to god if I hear the phrase “That’s an outpatient problem” one more fucking time, I’m gonna quit.

Outpatient? The place nobody can get appointments? The place where insurance waits months to give authorization? Where you need a ride to and from? The place that need a formal referral from the PCP that just retired, and a new patient visit for a new doc is next year? That place? Fuuuuuuck all the way off, down the street, over the bridge, across the field, and then fuck off some more.

There are a couple of douchey folks that really have too much free time and poor quality coke here in Florida. Maybe y’all need a new hobby. Ya angry, ya trumpy, ya ugly as fuck and ya need to mind ya own business, your slip is showing.

The cicadas just woke up all at once here in Floridas armpit. The whippoorwill is giving his last go.

I am not an artist. I am an enjoyer of art. Cannot, paint, sculpt, or carry a tune. I am ever intrigued by minds that have been touched with great talent. Sometimes it tempts me to pick up a brush or a paper and pen. Then I realize I am an enjoyer, maybe empath, maybe healer, but it’s the art that fills me up with the good stuff so I can enjoy more art and carry on with a mind full of delights.

Delicious dark and rainy this morning. It’s so nice before all the people start hustling around and ruin it. Love it.

I’m looking forward to the day when the name Trump disappears in the same way that Hitler no longer exists.

*Is this a Bluesky meme? This seems more like a Mastodon meme

*Won't get much traction on Xtwitter

@bruces #Alt4You
It is a frame from Peter Jacksons "Lord of the Rings" movie, where the Fellowship is lined up. Text has been added to denote the members' social ranks according to the books:
Boromir : Quasi-royalty
Legolas: Literal Royalty
Gandalf: Literal Angel
Strider: Literal Royalty
Gimli: High-ranking Aristocrat
Pippin: Quasi-Royalty
Merry: High-ranking Aristocrat
Frodo: Low-Ranking Aristocrat
Samwise: Works for a living.
Under the image text has been added: "Really, the most surprising part is that it takes three whole months before Sam has to start physically carrying people"

@bruces Sam only had to carry the low-ranking aristocrat, who was mortally injured. All the others held their own (except the one who failed).

I don't think this meme tells the story the author thought it did.

@bruces I liked that Gandalf is set-himself-on-fire kind of dumb but out of nowhere there will come creatures that are obliged to save his ass and carry him away, suggesting wizardry is mainly a networking skill. So, they're getting carried a lot.

@bruces I can't believe they actually bread such small people for this movie. They could have just used midgets but no, can't spare any expense--gotta go the genetic engineering route.
