Thread. Our current group of liberal elites took the lessons of successful non-violent social movements and interpreted them into the "hitting is always wrong" lecture you give your 5 year old.

Believe it or not many Americans would rather die defending their nonwhite ethnic heritage than submit to white supremacism to avoid conflict. We even fought a whole war about it once.

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.

And the "thin blue line" phrase was always stupid to me even when i was an officer. If police are public servants then we should want that line to be thick! Not thin. Its a divisive phrase that promotes an us vs them mentality. Effective policing is reinforced with strong COMMUNITY ties.

The LAPD came out and said the protests were peaceful, Tom. ICE was shooting tear gas at non-protestors stuck in the traffic jam they created by shutting down the streets. How exactly would you like Angelenos to respond to being tear gassed for no reason while driving to work

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

This attack on LA is also a test of the willingness of Trump supporters to condone violence against his domestic civilian opponents. Maga hates left coast elites just after they hate minorities. If the rest of America lets him get away with this he’ll see it as carte blanche to do this everywhere

No attorney seeking access to detained people should ever be tear-gassed. That’s not law enforcement, it’s obstruction of justice.
