If it was a phase, he'd have gotten a cover-up. If it was shameful to him, he'd have had it lasered off. If it was the captured symbol of an enemy, it would be crossed out or altered. He lacks the courage of a chastened Potterhead to admit that was a fucked-up thing to get.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

I’m quoted in this article re: “violence” & “peace” related to the Los Angeles protests. This is LA! Politicians don’t dictate how people are going to act. 1965 Watts Rebellion. 92 riots. 2020 uprisings. The student intifada. This is LA! Either support or sit back & stfu.

"Our current situation is a complete provocation by the state - tearing families apart and throwing people into concentration camps is violence," Sergienko said. "They are kidnapping people and locking them in the LA federal detention center basement without food or water. This, on top of the violence already faced against every day Angelenos.
From seven unhoused people dying on the streets every day to rent and evictions to continuous police harassment. How do you expect people to act? Is our current situation
"peace'? Why would anyone be shocked at this response by the people?"
The protests in Los Angeles should come as no surprise given its history of mass action, Sergienko said. Riots broke out in 1992 after police brutally beat Rodney King. In 1965, the Watts Rebellion came in response to widespread racist police abuse. Protests in 2020 against police brutality and in 2024 against Israel's genocide in Gaza are part of that same thread, he said.
"There is a long history of this kind of action in Los Angeles," he said. "Politicians don't dictate how people in this city are going to respond."

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Both parties contribute to anti-immigration sentiments, and both have been pretty pro-police. This is where that road leads, and I would really love to see Americans as a whole try taking a different path, one blazed by many activists and organizers over decades. Another world is possible.
