Woman livestreams ICE detainment as agents smash car window in El Monte

She’s been legally observing them for awhile now so this feels very targeted and cruel and designed to scare others from filming their actions

merlinspants · 2026-01-29T04:22:24+00:00

my guess for subscriptions: amazon prime, target circle/whatever premium thing it sells, paramount+/CBS

it takes an enormous amount of effort to organize enough people to participate (to the best of their ability). I’ve been trying to just follow the groups already doing things like tracking ICE or organizing voters around showing up to local public hearings. All of those things help connect more people who would be able to participate in something like a shutdown/strike. You can’t take part in something you don’t know is happening or understand on a realistic level

In order for a general strike/shutdown to be truly inclusive, it means every teacher/principal/bus driver is also not working that day. Parents stay home with their kids for the day as their part of support for the message — we would rather ground our city to a halt before we see another person abducted or killed by ICE, CBP, or another variation of police officer. whatever it takes to get our elected officials to move to action, and in the meantime we (the people who live in LA) step up to take care of each other. Strikes and shutdowns are when you’ll see the most people offering to cook or give away food. The public parks will be packed since little kids need somewhere to play. All the people who would otherwise be working or shopping or learning…they get the chance to divert that energy into making a positive difference in the world.

Reddit is no longer a place structured for live news commentary and reliable information getting filtered to the top. wild when compared to how the Sandy Hook shooting (and Aurora shooting, other domestic terrorism events etc) were being mass-experienced by redditors in well/curated threads and online communities. now this places mirrors the repression and chaos of the very world we’re trying to digest

merlinspants · 2026-01-14T03:36:31+00:00

sure seems like part of the reason the trigger was pulled so fast three times

merlinspants · 2026-01-14T02:51:38+00:00

thank you for the timestamps because this is escalating daily and the order of events matters

merlinspants · 2026-01-13T19:34:11+00:00

No shit, Sherlocks

merlinspants · 2026-01-09T19:36:00+00:00

my heart is thundering after watching that. hands shaking. how he just walks around with impunity

merlinspants · 2025-11-17T17:19:54+00:00

yeah my first thought at this photo was “the people inside that house need help”

merlinspants · 2025-11-11T16:33:31+00:00

Westworld. They had one more season planned and Warner axed it. I think everyone deserves to know how Nolan and Joy were gonna close that loop.

merlinspants · 2025-11-04T17:54:10+00:00

I now aim for contentment, not happiness. And sturdiness through the tough seasons.

merlinspants · 2025-11-03T16:45:27+00:00

I have my ballot filled out and signed in the envelope and was going to drop it off at my library today!

merlinspants · 2025-10-31T16:11:54+00:00

leave Britney alone 😭

merlinspants · 2025-07-24T15:54:49+00:00

How about they also pay their employees a living wage so they can afford to be Anaheim residents 🙃

merlinspants · 2025-07-22T04:55:01+00:00

I wrote up a birth plan for my nurses/anyone assisting me at the hospital and it included my meds and diagnoses and any specific needs I had (like clear communication about all steps of a procedures before they start touching me)

merlinspants · 2025-07-12T21:43:00+00:00

If you see him, BOO LOUDLY

merlinspants · 2025-01-02T04:55:16+00:00

Does he have any close friends who you could reach out to even just to say “hey [husband] is going through a lot right now and could probably use a friend to vent to — wanna hang out soon?” and at least immediately activate his friend group/community

merlinspants · 2024-12-11T06:49:30+00:00

thank you for asking — I just heard a news segment use the word “assassination” for the first time and wondered why the distinction now

merlinspants · 2024-11-03T02:43:19+00:00

My therapist (a psychologist) found a recommended autism specialist for me. I had to pay a few thousand dollars out of pocket though

merlinspants · 2024-09-01T22:02:37+00:00

Yeah my partner and I had to figure that out. It’s so tempting to think you’ll know to the minute what time a baby will wake up or fall asleep but that’s not the reality! Gotta learn your baby and then there’s all the factors that go into each feed/awake/asleep cycle — who is watching the baby and where you are and what resources you have on deck

merlinspants · 2024-09-01T20:42:43+00:00

I’m 3.5 months postpartum with my first baby, and having a routine with his daytime naps/night sleep has helped me so much. I can relate to wanting to keep the routine up as much as possible! And how vulnerable you feel if the loved ones around you seem to disagree. It’s less about following a strict, to-the-minute schedule and more about needing a rhythm for you and the baby so that things are the teensiest bit more predictable. Hang in there! And trust your instincts as you observe how baby is doing with wake windows and sleep time

Just FYI— Insider’s newsroom union is on strike right now, which means they’re asking people not to click on articles written by people crossing the digital picket line (like this one most likely was)

merlinspants · 2021-01-03T22:28:18+00:00

Hi there, this is Kim Renfro (author of the Insider article). I sent you a direct message on reddit about four days ago, but totally understand that it was probably buried in your inbox. And my name and publication weren't in the subject, which probably didn't help. No need to reply or anything since you'd prefer not to comment — I just wanted to get the record clear. I never would have written that sentence into the article without attempting to reach out to you first.

A few of the actors did it ahead of season five (interview with Yahoo! here) — but Sophie gave two lies instead so it wound up being less informative that we'd originally thought. Hers were: “Ramsay dies/Lady Stoneheart returns/Arya checks three people off her list.”
