There were planned protests against ICE. Chuds found out and spread the word that drug cartels were going to start a riot. The protests started and they were fine, just normal protest stuff. Chuds started exaggerating everything on social media, saying that LA was burning. Same shit that happened in other protests. Trump decides to score some political dunks on Newsom and takes over the CA national guard. He then orders them to go in and disperse the protests. LAPD, being themselves, had already stepped over the line a couple times as usual. But with the NG rolling in, it just ups the anti. Just like in 2020, we get people being abused by authority and then chuds using that to prove that they're these crazy riots happening. Liberal media doesn't help because they just want to report on something exciting.

As more people get hurt, more people show up for supporting the protestors.

Mr Musk, welcome to the resistance.

They were disappearing people too. You can probably find video of them snatching people.

Hopefully he will continue to be like JFK for the rest of his life.

I think it's on purpose because Andor can't have a real anti-fascist, anti-empire message if Darth Vader is present. In the dynamics of real empire, Vader should be some kind of manager/general like Krenic. He can't be a 6'-4" cyborg who is the best at being a pilot and the strongest magic space warlock to ever exist. The foundational narrative of Star Wars is about how empires are created by bad people who are indoctrinated by magic space warlocks. This message was driven so far deep in the lore that literal space genes cause people to be almost deterministically evil or good. You can't be materially anti-empire when the empire is actually magic. Being a revolutionary against empire means something and it's not waiting for the prophecy of a good guy with magic space genes to save us all.

The best thing Andor can do is forget the Skywalker bullshit, pretend it doesn't exist, and flesh out the Empire as being founded in material exploitation. That is something they have been doing so far. If Andor has to go find a magic Jedi mcguffin or protect the royal space gene bloodline, it's cooked. Luckily we know how this ends so they don't have much room for that bullshit.

"It was brought to my attention"

Bitch you live on twitter, you saw all the posts, stop playing. You're just mad everyone, even your pet right wing accounts, were celebrating.

A group of billionaires and millionaires donated some minimum amount to get a tax break on profits from their racism factory. They used it to get a bunch of college educated office workers to donate hundreds of millions to the campaign. The campaign proceeds to spend it carting interns and graduate students back and forth to Raytheon Acres Virginia. Those people are just doing for a checkbox on their resume. The insiders knew it was a bust from the start, they're just going through the motions and auditioning for their next private sector job. All the money goes into the insider's consulting agencies and appearance fees and marketing firms. They donors get a nice ROI from the people calling you Hamas on x - the everything app. Then they get more tax breaks anyways because Trump gets in.

Aaaaaah, the french!

Reno 911 bit

This guy is semi-notable on Twitter. He's best known for being kicked off a somewhat successful podcast for being a creep.

I mean, you gotta be more specific.

Hurry Elon, I need your independent space colony on Mars. The judge said if I am on Earth, I will have to come to court. When is it happening Elon? I need it!

If you think court fees are steep now wait until You have two billion-dollar security companies duking it out on your dime and then you have to rent a courtroom and hire an arbitration service on top of lawyers.
