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.

Seems to genuinely believe this isn’t a massive escalation

It wasn't a warzone until cops armed for an invasion of Baghdad showed up

What is the city but the people?

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

Only in LA would protesters think to tag the ground so it’s visible in helicopter shots.

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

If the idea of masked men in paramilitary groups descending upon our city streets concerns you, it should. The Republican Party is engineering private militia. This is NOT Legal. And it is unconstitutional. Understand why. This is a very simple quick read. www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/wp-cont...

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.

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

“They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the attorneys can’t breathe”

Calling 911 on masked men in unmarked vehicles running around with firearms sounds like the exactly right the thing to do.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

"my brothers you think you're doing the right thing," one demonstrator says to police "you're not.

Police riots in service of mass deportation

The overall effect of this is extremely damaging, not just because it is literally defamatory and stokes violence and retribution against the people he slanders, but also because this speech equates “fighting antisemitism” with paranoid conspiracy thinking.
