You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

So all of Downtown Los Angeles is now under curfew from 8pm to 6am. As a resident, I'm somehow exempt though I don't know how I'm supposed to prove it. Despite that, I'm going to get a beer at 8:30 wherever is open because I refuse to modify my life to support Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

As of 2 pm, Foothill Transit has again given up on serving the City of Los Angeles, even to Cal State LA miles away from the protests and where summer session is ongoing.

We’re in questionable legal territory again — CHP has blocked both ends of Commerical between Alameda and Garey adjacent to the 101. No dispersal order or arrests, but there is media stuck in the area they’ve blocked off.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

All of L.A. is not a ‘war zone.’ We separate facts from spin and disinformation amid immigration raids, protests throughout the city. Latest w/ @karenmg.bsky.social @tarantulaarms.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

when I see the Little Tokyo looting and the burning waymos pumped to the very front of youtube, instagram and facebook on my normie, non-political burner accounts I get the impression we're speed-running BLM 2020.

Definitely wish it weren't so, but dang what we're seeing play out in #LosAngeles is eerily reminiscent of the #StandingRock protests and the backlash to them that we're covering in the current season @drilledmedia.bsky.social. Ep2, "The Trial Begins" is out now. Listen here: push.fm/fl/drilled.

I've seen a bunch of references to this, but I hadn't seen the post itself until now. The menswear guy intentionally, riskily revealed that he's undocumented—that he's a DREAMer—as an act of public solidarity and witness in the face of our current fascist ascendancy.

Just a reminder that these were scenes after the Dodgers won the World Series last fall, including buses burning, stores looted, fires, Mexican flags waving - all on scale dwarfing anything that has happened in LA now. And no one called for the Marines being sent in www.marca.com/en/mlb/los-a...

I’m just glad the elite media spent the better part of a decade telling us that powerless college kids and their trigger warnings were a national threat to our freedoms.

Just had a lockdown because of suspected 🧊 activity. My principal had to drive around the neighborhood and check to make sure they weren't lying in wait. Fuck everyone who did this to us.

The only thing that is dangerous about LA is the presence of paramilitary forces who are being encouraged to snatch children and be violent towards folks outraged by that.
