The full conversation is 14 minutes. You’ve probably only seen five of them. Quite literally drop what you are doing right this instant and go watch this www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/...

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Three cops trampled one man on the ground. But no, there are good apples, i'm sure.

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

FLAG: the SEIU is holding rapid response rallies to call for the release of David Huerta and an end to the ICE raids TOMORROW at multiple locations nationwide

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Every accusation is a confession

If you’re documenting the ICE atrocities, make sure to back up your data. Don’t assume it’s safe in the cloud or on social media. Keep a copy (or multiple copies). I also strongly recommend journaling what you witnessed by hand if possible. Tell your story. The world is watching.

Don't miss that the President of the United States is saying he thinks the situation in LA is now under control with existing forces.⬇️ That means there's no legal or policy basis to actually federalize (read: politicize) the National Guard.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Hell of a photo

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

PRIDE NEWS: The fencing placed around Dupont Circle yesterday by the National Park Service is coming down this morning, a few hours before the WorldPride Parade is scheduled to start. Its placement, for public safety reasons, drew widespread criticisms from many locals.

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Posting for @acatwithnews.bsky.social, who is out in Paramount, CA, where federal agents reportedly are conducting ICE raids, and have completely gassed out the neighborhood Photos from Sean, who understandably cannot post updates right away.

If you’re not ANGRY, you’re sleepwalking! MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent. If you’re doing your legitimate job & have nothing to hide, SHOW YOUR FACE! This is fucken facism.

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

MAGA calls most immigrants freeloaders and criminals, but when ICE wants to make quota they show up at workplaces around the country No judicial arrest warrant in sight because they're not after criminals 44 "administrative" arrests. 44+ lives upended www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented. (Photo from a colleague in DC)

Congress must ask, as @repdangoldman.bsky.social , why they are wearing masks.

Here we have a senior golden living their best life and a young golden just trying to make it to the end of their shift. Both 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

People in Los Angeles rising up against ICE.

LA is out here shutting down the streets outside the federal detention center, where those arrested today are currently being held. Feds are not allowing lawyers or family members in to the facility. LA SAYS FUCK ICE!!

I know I’ve been busy with SCOTUS and such, but what the fuck is going on? I thought the city took care of this earlier this week?

In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

Good morning everyone Today is D-DAY Honor the HEROES Today marks the 81st anniversary of 156,000 strategically landing of British, Canadian, and AMERICAN troops on the beaches of Normandy. They were all so young and brave... Honor Them All This meme touches my heart Fight Fascism

As we mark the 81st anniversary of D-Day, we honor the brave American servicemembers and Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy, fought and died to save the free world from Nazi oppression.   We owe a debt to these heroes we could never repay.

Yes, your president is a rapist! 😡

The New York Times, a division of The Enquirer!

Musk vs. Trump: Same old WWF bullshit.

Watching Trump and Elon fall out is like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera. Newsflash: it was both of y’all.

I never thought this poster would be relevant 20 years later.
