Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house"English53·3 hours agoInteresting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.
I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

During WWII there are stories of both sides having issues in rural France because milk cows would come up to their hiding spots, crying to be milked (going unmilked is painful for dairy cows).
Not gonna lie, toast would work on me as long as it had butter on it.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Transfem@lemmy.blahaj.zone•currently in the hospital, had vaginoplasty this morning - update & AMAEnglish5·14 hours agoOh gosh, I hear you on the swimming! I’m a trans guy and my first swim post-top surgery was so much fun. It was way too cold for me to be in that pool and I didn’t give a shit. I hope you have a blast at your body of water of choice!
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Canada@lemmy.ca•Over $400K worth of cocaine found hidden in shoes at Pearson AirportEnglish4·17 hours agoI like to imagine they were just found in random shoes over the day that people lost/forgot. Someone gets to Vegas and goes ah, fuck, I lost my coke shoe!
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto pics@lemmy.world•This photo was taken during the Los Angeles pro immigration protest this year June 2025English691·18 hours agoFirst, fuck AI. Second, do a reverse image search if you’re going to claim AI.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought....English11·18 hours agoYeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.
Talk is cheap and the criticisms of anyone not at the protests are worthless.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought....English12·18 hours agoFascinating you could determine from the picture that all of the thousands of people who showed up only care about deportations.
Thankfully the people of LA are’t stupid enough to fall for this bullshit. We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.
Through all of these LA protest pictures, I see nothing but the flag of a foreign country…
Babe you already did this. Scroll up and follow the links this time.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought....English18·18 hours agoI don’t see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy…
Do you actually need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens can hold a Mexican flag in protest?
If you care about America, your country, and fighting Fascism, then you’re flying a US flag, and taking that symbol back.
Then go fucking do it instead of being a keyboard warrior criticizing the people actually doing shit. Jealousy’s an ugly color.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought....English162·18 hours agoHow is protesting for their family and neighbors (weird you left that one out, you don’t have to be related to someone kidnapped to protest) over having their Constitutional rights violated not protecting democracy?
Also, touching a Mexican flag doesn’t actually revoke your citizenship or residency, regardless of what Fox News says.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Transfem@lemmy.blahaj.zone•currently in the hospital, had vaginoplasty this morning - update & AMAEnglish8·19 hours agoCONGRATS!
What non-sexytimes related thing are you most excited to do once you recover more?
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought....English24·19 hours agoWhat’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.
Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought....English64·19 hours agoIf you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.
Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.

That’s like trying to deal with a house fire by filing insurance paperwork. Yeah, it needs to be done, but it’s hardly the only or most pressing thing to do.

Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Blahaj Lemmy Meta@lemmy.blahaj.zone•We now have a PieFed instance!English2·1 day agoI’m not sure if this is a Piefed software issue or a Piefed Blahaj federation issue; has anyone had trouble getting communities from slrpnk.net to show up on the page to add a remote community? I’ve been trying to add !birding@slrpnk.net, which as far as I can tell is still up and functioning, but PF Blahaj just gives an error that says “Community not found.”
EDIT: facepalm, I was checking to see if it was up on my Blahaj lemmy account. slrpnk.net itself is down. Dunno how I missed that happening, but in my defense there’s been a little bit going on in LA right now 😅
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zoneto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Ivermectin is now available without a prescription in some places. Good luck finding it.English7·1 day agoImagine it being 2019 and having no fucking clue what this combination of words meant. Absolute bliss.
Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.
