When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

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)

WIDER ANGLE: In this size the cop shooting Australian reporter @laurentomasi.bsky.social with rubber bullets looks even more intentional.

Putting the merits aside, it’s wild how the media treats GOP hatred of the majority of the country as normal. If democratic leaders said “We can all agree Mississippi is a shithole” we would never hear the end of it.

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now. This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence. Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

California SB 98, passed in 2021, specifically allows journalists to remain in areas closed by law enforcement during public events. The law officers from assaulting, interfering with, or obstructing journalists. Nor can journalists be cited for failure to disperse. @knightcolumbia.org

Pasadena, CA: The AC Hotel has asked ICE to leave. Hosting ICE agents at your hotel is bad for business.

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

Despite protests already being managed by the Los Angeles Police Department, President Trump is escalating the situation by threatening to deploy roughly 500 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles. Los Angeles: Remain peaceful. Don’t fall into the trap that extremists are hoping for.
