Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

You can thank the LAPD for creating some of the most iconic protest imagery we’ve seen in a generation

I don’t know what to say

He got shot in the head by a tear gas canister, but @acatwithnews.bsky.social reported on three days of escalation and violence by the feds in Los Angeles for Hell World anyway. www.welcometohellworld.com/it-is-happen...

Do you have plans when the Emergency Broadcast System announces that America is now under martial law if not start making them now. Get ready be prepared.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Good morning 🦋

“You’re going to see more work site enforcement than you’ve ever seen in the history of this nation. We’re going to flood the zone.” What set off the clashes in LA? Workplace ICE raids—from Home Depot to the garment district—as the Trump administration seeks to increase deportations at all costs.

The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...

ICE crossed a line in LA

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

NEW: Abrego Garcia is getting a lot of attention, but many people are asking about the rest of the men being unlawfully held in CECOT. Here's what's going on with them. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/so-what-ab...

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "We answered the call to defeat fascism. We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right. We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."

I don't think this photo gets the attention it deserves.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...
