As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

    TBH we should be rioting in front of big news headquarters.

    In front of Facebook. Twitter. Google. They’re not too far from LA. Employees should feel scared about enabling all this.

    None of this shit matters if algos ignore it, deliberately. Trump can do whatever TF he wants because the media ecosystem built around him is so profitable and engaging, and covering it milquetoast (or worse) is so profitable, not because absolutely everyone obeys him for no reason.

    We should make that unprofitable.
