Like 2020, I think a lot more people are about to find out how much the local mayor and officials hate them and are happy to use astounding amounts of violence to preserve their hold on power no matter who's in the white house.

exactly the same moment, 7,000 miles apart, protesters are being tear-gassed by their gvt for attempting to impede the illegal kidnap of families, while citizens attempting to deliver aid to an intentionally-starved populace have been taken, as part of the same empire. don’t ever defend the US to me

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

lmaoooooo hell yeah LA

Her name is Rosie: "A lot of vendors are undocumented and can't be here today. So those of us who can, we gotta show up"

I hear the ICE pigs had their tires slashed in Pasadena, then the tow truck service showed up to repair ICE's tires but the crowd convinced the tow truck driver to turn around, so ICE was out there trying to inflate their tires and duct tape them to escape after the hotel asked them to leave.

"Outside agitators" propaganda, once mostly used by conservative officials, especially in the South, exploded into widespread use by Dem and liberal politicians in the summer of 2020. I think that's a really underrated shift, and it's largely stuck. What starts here never just stays here...

unlimited solidarity w the la protesters. unlimited solidarity with palestine. unlimited solidarity with “undocumented” people worldwide. unlimited fuck u to all u fence sitting little bitches

Gotta appreciate the irony of people with confederate flags in their bio being mad that protesters are waving Mexican flags. "They're celebrating a country they aren't even in!" Have i got some news for you.

I'm confused by the white people who think the state needs an "excuse" to go after people.

After several unmarked DHS vehicles had their windows smashed, DHS is now deploying infantry-style escort tactics to walk vehicles into and out of the area. These CBP officers look absolutely sweaty and miserable as the crowd lets them hear it. It's too hot to wear masks. (sound on for A+ heckling)

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

The White House has posted a new executive order authorizing the federalization of the National Guard to support DHS and ICE functions. The most serious indication is the inclusion of “rebellion against the authority of the Government.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidentia... 1/8

ANYWAY a child realizing they are trans and pursuing autonomy and selfhood undermines patriarchal sexual authority over the child's body (understood by conservatives as sexual property). that's why they call it "grooming," not because they actually think any abuse is happening. property crime.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.

Elon is crashing out in a way that is erasing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of value from his company.

Night of the long knives but literally there’s no plan and everyone is just stabbing each other wildly and the stabbing is quote-poasting
