Standing firm beneath the shadow of National Guard troops, Rep. Maxine Waters delivered a bold message: “There is no danger, there is no violence… The President hates Los Angeles because we’re a sanctuary city.” In the face of fear tactics, her defiance shines. She shows true courage. 💪🔥🕊️

BREAKING Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) pleaded with National Guard troops not to use their weapons against protesters. The California lawmaker showed up at an anti-ICE demonstration near Los Angeles on Sunday after President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to be deployed.

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now. This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence. Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

This is the most LA picture. I love LA so so much.

No. I understand the desire to disbelieve our federal agents are like this, but it is true. They used 9/11 to build up a federal force in immigration that is dependent upon this brutality. If these agents had to find a job outside of this that paid 100k/yr, they couldn’t do it.

if people had voted for the nice Black lady, the gays would be dancing with the First Gentleman on the white house lawn today while President Harris worked to get Medicare to cover home Healthcare aides for our aging parents. but this is fun, too, i guess.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

As evil and senseless and stupid as The Civil War was, it was over something people believed in, rightly or wrongly. To go to a bloody unwinnable Civil War over this stupid son-of-a-bitch who doesn't care about anyone but himself would be the height of folly. He isn't worth spit.

We need to stop saying things like "That's a distraction." One evil thing doesn't negate the other. They're doing a whole lot of evil shit at the same time so some of their evil shit can get through. We need to resist all of the evil shit at the same time. That's our job.

I resigned Border Patrol in 2001 bc of corruption & brutality I saw & took part in. I’ve been warning people since 2017. The book came out in 2022. I was labeled disgruntled, revengeful for my rape, & hyperbolic for saying the immigration enforcement agencies are the secret police. Few will quit.

Dept. Q on @netflix.com is the best crime drama I've seen in a long while. 10/10 highly recommend.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

There is no good protest vs bad protest. No matter what action is taken the response will be excessive. I prefer nonviolent civil disobedience however that is not the passive action some folks claim it is, it’s loud, public & illegal, disobey orders & overwhelm the oppressive system.

Personally I don't think we should be calling up the military over a protest outside a Home Depot

My community is being used by phobics to gain access to vulnerable members. Dangerous bigots are posing as LGBTQ on dating apps to lure people to their deaths. Please talk to your family and friends. Share with them the importance of protecting yourselves when meeting someone new.

One of the purposes of civil disobedience is to tie up law enforcement & courts enough to disrupt their ability to function.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

When one brings an army into LA w/tank-like vehicles & feds wearing camouflage in the middle of a CITY & you show up throw flash bangs, you are trying to draw people’s attention to what you are doing. You are trying to make people violent.

If you are arresting violent criminals, you wouldn’t enter town like the fucking circus. This is to egg Americans into attacking ICE. Homan is sending agents out there in to perform flamboyantly violent arrests so that people will react. He is intentionally endangering the public & his own agents.

FBI (federal police) has established a military presence in #LosAngeles to collaborate w #ICE #DHS. When I analyzed and [legally] briefed Project 2025, I’d hoped not necessarily “good” but at least patriotic whites would oppose an openly fascist govt takeover. Nope‼️This is what White America chose:

Tom Homan is lying. “They arrested a lot of bad people yesterday.” They say this each & every time, & each & every time they are arresting non-criminals. It is Tom Homan who is sending in armies into our cities to make highly visible arrests. Tom Homan is the one instigating the violence.

That heavily armed CBP & Border Patrol did NOT respond on Jan 6th even though they were mere blocks away & ready for this very event, simply bc they did NOT get a phone call is ludicrous. No cop needed permission to respond that day. This is nonsense. DHS officials wiped their phones.

The US record on protecting Afghans who helped our military in that war has been pretty weak to begin with, but now we are deporting them to a very credible risk of death. Why would any other allies on the ground work with the US military in the future?
