one reason for this is how few US newsrooms are willing to interview and hire immigrant and international journalists due to legal costs for work visas, and how often non-white immigrant perspectives are considered 'bias' instead of expertise

Paramount, CA is putting out a call for environmental engineers to collect and preserve air, soil, and water samples from the tear-gassed areas for examination and documentation.

Now is a good time to bump this. It makes it extra hard for the National Guard and soldiers to fire at you if you are literally waving the fucking stars and stripes flag.

Appropriately dark representation of what’s happening to our nation. TW: police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag. This is happening in and around LA. God save us all. 🇺🇸 #ICE #LosAngeles #SoCal #DHS

dearest wife, bad tidings today from battle. our foes, they make merry sport of our beards and tell us they look unwashed. meanwhile, in the rear, our general remains incomprehensible. he speaks only to the board now. he issues orders betwixt terrified sobs. dearest thelma, i fear we are doomed.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

Los Angeles is a city of immigrants. Its a city where the street, neighborhood, and municipal names are in Spanish. We have neighborhoods filled with rich culture belonging to global immigrant communities that have made our city beautiful. Injustice to one is injustice to all.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” Without invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Cops signed up to crack American skulls in their own neighborhoods. That's the job. Reservists didn't. And I can only imagine what happens when they run into a friend or family member in the protests.

If the president gives unlawful orders, it’s the responsibility of military officers to refuse those orders. It’s imperative the movement maintains non-violent discipline so the military will side with the constitution and the people. We can win if we stand together.

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

A lot of the footage you have been seeing even if it’s coming from other accounts has come from Sean and if you can, please shoot him some mutual aid funds as he just got shot in the head with a tear gas canister it appears.

Here in Seattle, when a small group of far-right anti-trans Christians held a rally in our queer neighbourhood and were faced with a huge counterprotest, SPD arrested a bunch of counterprotesters--and then whined about how stretched-thin they were and couldn't keep doing stuff like that.
