ICE plans to conduct 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-California) said, which would continue the sweeps that sparked protests in L.A. over the weekend.

Roughly 2 dozen National Guard troops outside the Edward R Roybal Federal Building in Downtown Los Angeles this morning. Several more inside. NORTHCOM says they're 79th Infantry BCT but the troops refused to ID themselves. Most look bored. A handful of protesters started gathering ~1030

You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

An authoritarian regime in action

as agents set up a skirmish line around the federal building in downtown LA, they start a small fire with one of their own flash bangs from the fox11 stream

They were born on U.S. soil, are entitled to U.S. passports and allowed to serve in the U.S. military, but 11 people in a small Alaska town are facing criminal charges after they tried to participate in a fundamental part of American democracy: voting.

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

Thread.

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue. Can you help me get to 5k followers to show her we can do this?!

The LAPD to the Trump Administration:

Two LA photojournalists have been shot with tear gas canisters by DHS HSI, including @acatwithnews.bsky.social who was directly targeted by HSI and struck in the head. Sean is en route to the ER with obvious facial injuries. He was conscious and talking when he left the scene.

A plane with no call sign is currently circling the area where the LA anti-ICE protests are taking place. It took off from March Air Reserve Base

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power. The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Pete Hegseth escalates: The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.

“the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary” ?!?!?!?!?!

MAGA: It’s not fascism America: Rapidly turning into military war zones

will they be publishing their memorandum or are we supposed to vaguely intuit the legal authority and limitations here

DHS UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter just dropped off thousands of rounds of impact munitions. There were several of these canisters on board.

N819KB, a US Customs and Border Protection, seen on the ABC 7 live feed departing Compton where it had just dropped off a bunch of boxes of munitions and launchers

OMG "Governor Gavin Newscum"

They're totally underwater if this is what it takes to hit a single Home Depot once

Thread.

“Brb lemmie federalize the national guard to bail my gestapo out of a Home Depot parking lot”

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

At the risk of being pedantic, “less than lethal” rounds can in fact kill people. “Less lethal.”

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

All the Multicam, MOLLE straps, and toobs in the world can't stop these fascist dipshits from being fucking incompetents

Ominous juxtaposition

Literally two weeks ago Stephen Miller screamed at ICE leadership for not raiding Home Depots.

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...
