Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, & disappears people into death camps—NRA is silent. Know why? Because NRA was never about firearm protection—but about white supremacy protection. As long as ICE targets mostly Black & brown people, NRA is happy

How many are here? To start: ATF, ICE, FBI, FPS, general HSI groups, the LAPD, LASD, various police departments of smaller cities inside Los Angeles County, Huntington Beach PD was here yesterday for some reason, the National Guard and soon the Marine Corps. I'm missing a few.

Ah yes it's time for the annual summer camp trend piece that fails to engage with the fact that kids being home requires the presence of a parent [mom] & that lists the amounts of money involved purely as a lifestyle marker instead of a symptom of total systemic failure & the need for class war 🤗

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, and lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it.

One thing I saw a lot this afternoon was individual cops just getting annoyed by an individual and then suddenly clubbing or shooting rubber bullets at them. With all sorts of LAPD superiors, hundreds with phones and media present. Like they can just go off in public if they're feeling pestered.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Impossible to post all of the videos from today but here’s LAPD unloading dozens of rounds at the barricade. They did this for over an hour.

"Anyone now in downtown L.A. subject to arrest" - they have shut down an area of roughly 9 square miles. 90,000 people live in that part of the city.

LAPD Chief is correct, he's referring to his own cops

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence: 1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating. 2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights. 3. Their goals are bigger than today. /1

If protesters fire """non-lethal""" rounds at the police, what words would the police and the media use to describe it? Because some people are hand-wringing about calling it "firing on" protesters when, if reversed, they would call it lethal force or some other BS in service of copaganda

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

A reason im not moved by the “don’t give the trump administration the pretext they’re looking for” is that we would not dare say that about any anti-authoritarian protest movement in literally any other country

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

Huge symbolism. California's land use is built around it. But the highways are key tools of segregation (www.npr.org/2021/04/07/9...), and cars are how we lost a lot of the 4th amendment (thewaroncars.org/episode-30-p...)

"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
