Donald Trump wants to turn LA into Mogadishu ahead of his parade to show off his ability to use the military to create a dictatorship. Well, I’ve lived here for fifteen years and I don’t think he knows who he’s dealing with. www.mind-war.com/p/testing-te...

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Don't wear goggles to a protest unless they're rated shatter resistant. You're better off with NO eye protection than eyewear that will send shards of plastic into your eye. If you can't find shatterproof goggles, get lacrosse goggles. Cheap and effective eye protection from larger munitions.

The California legislature and city & county governments should file injunctions and draft emergency legislation prohibiting the quartering of now-federalized troops on private property including hotels under the Third Amendment. Make the Guard bivouac on the ground on federal property.

ICE are a clear and present danger to every person in the United States. They're a fascist gestapo operating without any accountability. Abolishing ICE is the compromise.

This is just like pardoning the J6 rioters day one: yes, it's something you would do to build a paramilitary force, but also you immediately demonstrate to everyone that you're going to be dictatorial while actually materially doing very little toward building an effective paramilitary force

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

Seriously. There is a huge post Ferguson activist/protestor death toll. That's not conspiracy, it's fact. Don't try to find people.

Great example of Spontaneous protest driven by outrage today. These things can get out of hand quickly if escalation happens. Certainly looks like that’s what’s happening from afar…

I always love @fivefourpod.bsky.social. But the most recent episode with @equalityalec.bsky.social talking about his latest book, Copaganda, is essential. In this moment, folks need to understand the connections between courts, campuses, corporations, and cops. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

When I was a young Beet, street medics considered rinsing your face off with milk OF MAGNESIA, but disregarded it because water was better for clearing pepper spray in every way. Yet shit like this persists. Be safe & smart out there kids and don't wash your eyes out with anything but water.

Are some of you adults??? What's with the 'provoking people to use martial law' talking point that keeps circulating? Do you know anything at all about FASCISTS? THEY NEED NO EXCUSE OR PROVOCATION TO DO ANYTHING.

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.

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.

Scientists are stunned that Earth’s energy imbalance is rising faster than expected. Maybe it’s time we admit: we don’t understand what we’re doing—and we never did. Only our arrogance is constant. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.
