Considering the two incidents of journalists being struck by less than lethal munitions in LA, I think it’s important to remember that police in the US deliberately targeted journalists many, many times during the George Floyd protests in 2020. www.bellingcat.com/news/america...

I don't know man, I kind of think the illegal and unconstitutional things are a bigger deal than trying to pass a law. ISTG, these losers are exhausting.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Hey folks! Fun trick when you're following a major event in a big city like Los Angeles. If the event is large enough, you'll see at least 2, probably 3-4 media aircraft overhead. And often, you can get the raw, non-narrated version of the feed if you look in the right place.

On Friday, five Proud Boys sued the US government for $100 million for their “political persecution” as “allies of President Trump.” A reminder of how they instigated multiple breaches during the Capitol riot. Our visual investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DfL...

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

For those unfamiliar, LAPD on horseback also ran over protesters during the 2000 DNC. Clip ends with LAPD spokesman Cmdr. David Kalish blaming reporter for being run over by motorcycle cops... on. the. sidewalk. It's been like this in Los Angeles for 25 years. I keep archives. Video by Don Souza.

The Latino protesters waving the Mexican flag in protests in LA are more justified – and frankly more American – than those who carried confederate traitor flags into Congress on Jan 6th.

I stand against ICE. I want peace. If resisting fascism isn’t peaceful, it is the fault of the fascists, not those who oppose them.

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

I always think of this 2018 oral history of Stephen Miller’s high school years, in which almost all his peers remember him as loathsome, racist, oppositional, inaccurate, and constantly playing the victim card lamag.com/politics/ste...

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

Since yesterday, immigration and other law enforcement have inflicted terror and chaos on residents of LA. The leader of California's largest union was among those arrested for protesting ICE's cruelty. Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop him from terrorizing our communities.

President Donald Trump is not backing off his battle with Elon Musk, saying Saturday that he has no desire to repair their relationship and warning that his former ally and campaign benefactor could face “serious consequences” if he tries to help Democrats in upcoming elections.

Likely in light of the situation in LA, ICE leadership just put out a pretty outrageous message to politicians: “I’m demanding they stop.” He specifically calls out Mayor Wu and Hakeem Jeffries.

when I see Pam Bondi I think of the defense attorney from her state who told me that people in his office would high five every time they saw her listed as prosecutor because she was so bad at her job she would routinely screw up cases that any other prosecutor would have nailed in minutes
