The California National Guard and Trump's ICE regime forces attacked unarmed US citizens, protestors and media, with tear gas, smoke grenades, and pellet rounds. They pushed them into the street and declared a 'unlawful assembly', a violation of people's first amendment. #StopICE (📹@JamesQueallyLAT)

15 years ago #RATM rocked a free concert in Finsbury Park celebrating the “people’s victory” of our Christmas #1, “Killing In The Name” which toppled Simon Cowell’s X-Factor on the UK charts. 100% of proceeds went to UK homeless charities. 90,000 attended the historic concert.

We’ve got to start doing stuff without caring about Republican rage I was telling someone about wiping out medical debt & he goes “well, I like it, but how do Repubs feel” My response: I couldn’t care less We must make life better no matter what partisan BS is in the way

The masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity. The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators. Which will help protect you from COVID & other airborne threats! Normalize masking for public health.

Leftists will urge violence, incite it, run home, and then sit back while others rebuild from their destruction. They will not pay for your medical bill from their invited violence. They will not remember your name in the history books. They think burning everything down will create equality.

All of this. It happened in downtown Indy in '20, and guess who still gets blamed for "destroying" the city? Not the little white anarchists from the suburbs that were clearly on video and documented by the Indy Star.

I can't wait for this National Guard situation in California to be over & everyone's still talking about the Epstein files.

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

A reminder that we don’t need to invoke Germany to describe what we’re seeing with ICE. It was Americans who put Japanese people in camps on this land. This is not new. American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug. We act like this stuff is foreign to America when it’s what formed America.

To EVERYONE in the greater Los Angeles area: Put this number in your phone: 1-888-624-4752 If you see ICE in your community, call the LA Rapid Response Network Hotline!

And some of those folks are now literally ICE agents running around wearing masks and body armor paid for by tax dollars handcuffing & kidnapping children on the federal government's dime. If you didn't vote for Kamala Harris, let me be crystal clear: FUCK YOU. YOU DID THIS. IT'S YOUR FAULT.

We need to stop saying things like "That's a distraction." One evil thing doesn't negate the other. They're doing a whole lot of evil shit at the same time so some of their evil shit can get through. We need to resist all of the evil shit at the same time. That's our job.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is. Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

I thought I would be safe if I positioned myself with all the cable news crews off to the side away from all of the protesters. But nope. I was wrong. The feds shot pepper balls at us, forcing us down Alameda Street with everyone else. @lataco.bsky.social

Anderson Cooper & Scott Pelley talk about how corporate news orgs don’t have the support of their corporate overlords to speak truth to power. This is why independent outlets like us exist. Would be great if we didn’t have to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law. We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Latino/Hispanic folk, learn what Black folk learned: the anarchists are NOT your friends. They’ll instigate the burning of your communities then go to their parents suburban homes and watch it burn on their 70 inch TV’s.

if people had voted for the nice Black lady, the gays would be dancing with the First Gentleman on the white house lawn today while President Harris worked to get Medicare to cover home Healthcare aides for our aging parents. but this is fun, too, i guess.

People often stop me in the street (never happened) and ask: “What do people like on Bluesky?” “Mountains and flowers,” comes my reply. Mt. Fuji with a sprinkle of flowers for #stunday. ❤️ ✌🏽 #photography #nature #art #eastcoastkin #stormhour #photohour #fuji #japan #flowers #bloomscrolling #scape

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

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.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.
