They will invent the pretext unless we’re so thoroughly supine they don’t need to, which leads to the same outcome.

I see posts saying protesters aren't brutalized under Dems. I guess right-wingers aren't the only ones fantasizing about a mythical past. I was brutalized at protests under Obama. Folks were brutalized at protests under Biden. We can condemn the escalations of the present w out fetishizing the past.

It's especially egregious since what happened was ICE started firing tear gas ON RANDOM PEOPLE who they forced into a traffic jam. The people of LA didn't even expect to be protesting anything that day and found themselves in a standoff with ICE, kettled by the LAPD. Please, liberals, STFU!

Dem Leadership fails to understand that it's always their responsibility to protect their constituents. Sometimes, that means protecting their constituents from Law Enforcement. Support for meaningful civilian control over heavy armed paramilitary forces & police arms stockpile reductions wd help.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

I have a long-standing policy not to tell people whose bodies are on the protest line how to do it. You could be right but if you’re not in it, your feedback does more harm than good.

I worked with a Black elder at the Charlotte MEPS who had been a member of SNCC and people really discount the amount of planning and training that went into the Non-violent protests of the Civil Rights era. It started with selecting who could show up to the action.

The Right Way To Protest is to stand very still in your apartment and whisper “I wish this wasn’t happening” then get your ass to work, you’re gonna be late damn it

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.

chinga la migra May the spirit of rebellion grow & multiply!! I absolutely reject the logic that comrades are ever responsible for any increased state repression. We are living in fascist time, they don't need "excuses." Be ungovernable, maintain solidarity, & keep tactical differences internal

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

It's necessary to keep pointing out: all this is not because ICE wants to deport murderers and rapists. It's because ICE is going to Home Depot parking lots, courthouses, and elementary school graduations to round up peaceful families, many seeking asylum, which means they are here legally.

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

Short 🧵 & I'd be very interested in @johnpfaff.bsky.social's take as he's a SME on this & my area is not policing. That said, as someone who has taught/trained a few thousands cops in my prior career as a criminology professor, what we're seeing expressed in the grab below is an important tell. 1/
