White folks watched a bunch of white folks sack the Capitol and then most of them be pardoned by the head of the white identity party and now we're supposed to listen to other white people pontificate about non-violence...

Trump has authorized regular military in addition to the Guard: "In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion"

Hey all! Reporting what I can from the emergency room here as it comes.

This is @melbuer.bsky.social on Sean’s account, posting here since it’s his video: the moment that Sean and @ryannemena.bsky.social were injured by what may have been a tear gas canister fired from a line of HSI officers in Paramount, CA.

Both reporters have checked in, but are currently covered in CS gas. Currently reviewing footage, @acatwithnews.bsky.social thinks it may have been a tear gas canister that he took to the forehead

Somewhere I have a disk 💾 with HyperCard stacks on it

Watching the showdown between ICE and the people of Los Angeles, it makes me think that if ICE came to Oakland they would regret it. On the other hand, if ICE came to San Francisco, Senator Scott Wiener would make a lengthy and measured post on threads before going back to having lunch at Zuni.

USIan police have been "militarized" since the 70s. Militarization is not the main problem. US policing itself is the issue.

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.

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.

Maxwell Frost being absent from this letter is also why you should stop uncritically praising David Hogg

china is bad bc they use tanks to disperse protestors and the tanks only stop moving when one brave man stands in front of the tank, unlike america where uh uhhh uhhhhhhh

PLEASE SHOW MY FAMILY IN GAZA SOME SOLIDARITY 💔

Describing this photo of a DHS officer beating someone as “a protester evades an officer” is classic copaganda. Looks like @apnews.com wrote the caption, not Al Jazeera. Shame on AP

the people who make this country unsafe aren’t immigrants. the people who make this country unsafe are cops.

Just got shot with one of these…

Fellow Californians, here's who to call after today's ICE raids in LA: 1. Call your MOC: (202) 224-3121 (switchboard) 2. Call your STATE assemblymembers/senators: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov 3. And call/email Newsom: www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

Begging people to look at your local budgets

“Sanctuary city”

On a live interview with ABC, the LAPD Chief confirmed that he received a call from the FBI requesting assistance from LAPD to protect their heavily armed federal agents after seeing the large crowd of advocates. By @theglutster lataco.com/activist-sta...

DHS FIRING ON US FOR A MINUTE STRAIGHT OUTSIDE THE DETENTION CENTER. Please watch and share. EYES ON LA! FUCK ICE!

ALL EYES ON LA

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

"Don't murder Greta Thunberg and half a dozen other people in cold blood with US made weapons" gets a whopping 11 signatures in the House

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Heavily-armed DHS paramilitary forces in military vehicles fired dozens of stun grenades at a crowd of onlookers today in Los Angeles.

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody. His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice." Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

It continues to make me sad that Ro Khanna used VC and tech money to push Mike Honda out of Congress. Honda was a childhood Japanese internee who became a high school teacher, congressman, and staunch ally of labor and LGBTQ ppl. Khanna is … wooing a white supremacist anti-trans bigot for his money.

The girl was riding her bike through a San Francisco crosswalk when she was struck, according to the DA's office.
