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)

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.

@michelemanziano.bsky.social The head of the National Guard, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, General Steven S. Nordhaus, has stated that the National Guard will not follow illegal orders. This is consistent with the principle that military personnel are obligated to disobey unlawful orders

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

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.

During Trump's first term, he took a lot of advice on who to place in his cabinet. That's how we got Mark Esper as DOD who refused to open fire on protesters. Now without even being asked, Hegseth is threatening to deploy Marines domestically. Prepare for war.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth just stated that he will mobilize the U.S. Marines, who are now on high alert, to California from Camp Pendleton in if he needs to. Marines turned on US citizens. Does this sound like America to you?

The rationale for sending troops to big blue California is the same for going after Harvard and Columbia: if you can subdue your wealthiest and most powerful enemies first, the rest will fall more easily.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
