We ask for aid after the fires. Instead we get raids. Targeting high school graduations to abduct people. Never forget who is running things. Never forgive.

This is what we are experiencing in LA County. We are being terrorized. This is not an exaggeration. Summer is cancelled here. The dread is palpable.

“In Pasadena last week, a man stepped out of his unmarked vehicle at an intersection, unholstered his pistol and aimed it at a group of pedestrians before returning to his car… That incident left the police chief of Pasadena resigned to figure out whether it was a crime or part of a federal raid.”

My experience with too many activist circles is that there are so many guys who love to proclaim themselves as protectors of women, but whose actions speak the very opposite.

I'm serious when I say that there's still so much we can do. The countries I researched that got into this kind of detention nightmare were all worse off than we are. Most of us still have tremendous opportunity to shift what comes next. And we need to do it to protect those who are already unsafe.

To all the people who think we should call the police on ICE, when we protested ICE in LA, the police tear gassed us. May face was and neck were swollen with hives. That’s how they protect and serve.

plenty of ppl willing to advise to call police who have NEVER been targeted by police, arrested, stalked, raped, injured/tortured or otherwise retaliated against by police..some ppl still do not believe police commit illegal actions against US citizens every damn day, ALL across the US

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Incarcerations and deportations are done in our name, with our money, and we are collectively responsible for ending these atrocities

When ICE came to kidnap people in Pasadena, a young woman confronted a kidnapper and asked him if he had any shame about snatching hard working people off the street. The kidnapper answered, “These are your tax dollars at work.”

It is wild that when we speak up about ICE terrorizing our neighborhoods, so many people urge us to call the police. They’re the same damn thing! In fact, you can’t even spell POLICE without ICE!

Pasadena and Altadena clergy speak out against ICE, calling the raids a spiritual attack and wound on our communities! They urge us to fight for justice and love! 👊 AND WE WILL.

I hate when people applaud shitty institutions for caving to activist pressure and doing “the right thing.” The shitty institutions don’t deserve the applause. The activists do.
