Absolutely wild that LA has deployed LAPD, DHS has deployed both ICE and CBP, now the white house is calling in the national guard. You'd think the wildest riot in history was going down in LA right now, but it's actually just a bunch of protestors mostly just standing around holding signs.

Fuck ICE Victory to the rebels And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

Taking note of who insists on referring to what happened in LA today as a "riot" and adjusting my opinion of them accordingly.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

the reason america isn’t nazi germany is because no crowds ever showed up to tell the gestapo to fuck off from their town or get fucked up and it gives me hope and makes me proud of my fellow citizens

If you're looking for something helpful you can do from your phone, consider replying to comments like these and kindly and gently giving them accurate information about how this is a capitalism problem, not a GOP problem. I will explain exactly how to do this

Miller should insist platoons of Guard members sleep in random LA people’s homes this evening, just to see if the Supreme Court would 6-3 or 5-4 its way to overturning the third amendment. Real opportunity for truly original Originalist hijinks.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

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.

You know how the hero who punched Richard Spencer on camera was never found? And how great that was? Leave the skater punk alone. Let him become an archetype.

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

interesting to note that 400 protesters have monopolized all of LASD’s enforcement power because they tried to help ICE arrest half a dozen guys working at a Home Depot if you’re scoring on efficiency, the protesters are winning

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.

i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/O1jiyie

It's also objectively a good thing that Ro Khanna launched that trial balloon and got absolutely annihilated over it to the point of panicking on his substack over the backlash. Like, there's a ding to the Dem brand, but only among ultra-attentive weirdos On Here, but we do have influence.

To be fair it's easy to be vindicated when your commitment is "the border Gestapo are evil and should not exist" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.
