Watch as this LAPD cop takes deliberate aim at an Australian reporter, then shoots her at close range. I would fire the police chief over this. Inexcusable thuggery.

lmaoooooo hell yeah LA

in so many videos out of LA i am seeing officers aiming rubber bullets right into crowds, this is filling me with a deep and anxious rage knowing what happens when they do that www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

In 2010, Israeli forces attacked a Gaza aid flotilla, killing 10 people. In the aftermath, the Obama administration blocked UN efforts for an investigation, Biden defended the attack, and Chuck Schumer condemned the United Nations and defended Israel.

Israel kidnapping Greta Thunberg, the Academy-Award winning co-director of the documentary No Other Land, and declaring Ms. Rachel an anti-semite for not wanting Palestinian kids to die. Yup, this is how you win the world.

2020 I was in a city with a Democrat Mayor in a state with Democrats in control of the governorship and legislature. While they preached progress they gassed and beat their own constituents. I haven’t and will not forget it. We need Trump out of office but we need folks like this gone, too.

Of course the IDF was never going to allow the Madleen to sail up to the Gaza shoreline, in the same way that of course Stephen Miller was always going to try to attack protesters. That's irrelevant. The thing that people need to get a grip about is that these are both bad things.

rubber bullets have blinded people because law enforcement OFTEN fires them directly at protestors, rather than at the ground as directed. flashbangs have induced at least one heart attack when fired at protesters. an still unknown chemical agent was used on protesters in portland

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

I’m honestly going to lose my goddamn mind if I hear one more politician call for the protesters to be peaceful. THEY ARE. THEY ARE NOT THE ONES BEING VIOLENT. This goes for Schiff, Padilla, and just now Bass. Pay-a-fucking-tention.

This is why *none* of his nominees should have been approved by Dem senators. An absolute abomination.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

An entire row of waymo self driving cars are being set on fire.

This is actually pretty good

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

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.)

What is happening in LA is spontaneous and beautiful and it gives me such hope against this fascist nightmare. Donate to bail funds and local LA orgs.

Revolutions require dancing

full blown police riot in progress. never let them reframe this.

More friendly advice from your mortal enemies.

"Two things are now crystal clear. First, the Govt. has always had the ability to return Abrego Garcia, but it has simply refused to do so. Second, the Govt. has conducted a determined stalling campaign to stave off contempt sanctions long enough to concoct a politically face-saving exit"

These are the people that were just on Lake Street in combat gear and tanks. "In recent months, we have seen a rash of agents, officers, and public officials engaging in crimes against children," #NotADragQueen #NotTrans #NotImmigrant

If this level of AI kool-aid drinking bullshit comes to the UMaine system, I'll be very tempted to simply quit my job.

"regardless of where one attributes blame" lmao

Almost verbatim, unbelievable

Hell yeah

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

Lmao if they don't have DHS morale they literally have nothing except local police and like, I dunno, dudes with lifted Dodge Rams? Not to be like this but THEY ARE GOING TO FALL WE NEED ONLY GIVE THEM A GOOD PUSH

Perfect contrarian indicator. We're so back

When the people you are protesting against show up, go home. This is how we win.

there is zero logic to QI. if it's unconstitutional, it is regardless of the number of times it's been litigated. the idea that you'd need *notice* not to do this is absurd and morally bankrupt.

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

Pure fucking evil

If they didn’t say anything when Trump pardoned criminals who gave him a million dollars, they don’t get to act like a burning grocery cart is the height of lawlessness.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

It's never been more clear that the leaders of the Democratic Party are not going to save us

it's really funny that any news anchor in america can say that biden was mentally incompetent but you can't say trump is mean without getting in big trouble

The Right Way To Protest is to stand very still in your apartment and whisper “I wish this wasn’t happening” then get your ass to work, you’re gonna be late damn it

Savvy Dems all know that Americans don't care about a fascist government violently suppressing peaceful protests. Only eggs. Always eggs.
