BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

Morning friends. It's Tuesday. Day 3 of full-on fascism in the streets of Los Angeles. Definitely coming to your town way sooner than later. I have not a single whitty, funny quip for today. I did find inspiration, though. Doecii at the BET awards. #SheShed #LA #ICERaids

Really, JD?

Los Angeles CA: UFW President Teresa Romero hugs @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta after his release from federal custody. #FreeDavidEndRaids

If ICE director Homan doesn't lay off the new Castro look, his felon boss may get the idea that he's gunning for his job.

🚨Secret police! Do you accept secret police? My family fled from Argentina where secret police jailed my grandfather & killed my dad's best friend's father as well as about 30,000 other Argentinians. When people conceal their identities, no one's safe! Anyone could be taken, even me and you.

What will you do if your internet gets taken away? Some ideas from a pro: @ykreborn (IG) “Community is our connection. May we all be connected and free.”

There are active duty Marines deployed to an American city while the president is planning a military parade for his birthday... What country is this???

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

Barragán: "This is not an effort to really get criminals. It's an effort to see 'let's see who we can sweep up along the way.' Why are they doing this? Bc this president said he was going to deport millions & the numbers have not been adding up. There aren't that many serious criminal offenders."

Should we throw dolls at the National Guard, so, they have something to play with, instead? I think that will help throw a harsh light on just how utterly ridiculous and absurd it remains to call the National Guard into LA.

This sounds unlawful as hell. apnews.com/article/mari...

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Republicans are such hypocrites.

Gotta love an 86-year-old woman with the heart of a poster

The MAGAs are out in full force today because their narrative is crumbling. Incredible work so proud of all of you. It’s impossible for this administration to control the narrative when everyone has a camera and access to social media.

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Sound up! This is Los Angeles & they never back down. Hate may roar, but they roar louder. Stand loud, stand proud, Empire Boys: LAFC’s finest, masters of peaceful protest. 🌟💥✊🏽 💙 We own these streets and our right to dissent. Keep shining, keep fighting. #FreedomToDissent VC richorosco IG

If Kamala were president, we'd be talking about her efforts to help Canada with their wildfires right now, as a way of paying it forward with how Canada helped LA with the fires there in January. I wish we lived in that world of neighborly love, instead of the scenes we see in LA today.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

Accurate Vibes… I feel this in my soul .. #SheShed

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.

oh boy, had my own very liberal father ask if everything was OK in LA. That tells you how bad the media is covering this. I'm literally going to an Emmy event for The Last of Us tonight. Gyms are open. People are going to the movies and hiking in Griffith Park. Don't need no Marines.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

Exactly.

American friends, here’s Umberto Eco’s famous checklist for signs of fascism. It makes for disturbing reading regarding your current situation.

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Trump’s authority is so brittle that he’s deploying 700 active duty marines to face off with some union organizers and faith leaders

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

The Los Angeles Police Department announces Monday afternoon that the city is going on "Tactical Alert."

Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard. There’s no working with the President. There’s only working for him. I will never work for Trump

Labor leaders including SEIU are rallying now in D.C. demanding the release of SEIU President David Huerta who has a court appearance today. “What do we want!?” “Free David!” m.youtube.com/watch?v=huSN...

I remember when Pope John Paul II toured the U.S. and drew 63,000 to Dodger’s Stadium in 1987. It can be hard to explain what a big deal the Pope is.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

TRUTH. “We were told he was going to go after violent criminals. This wasn’t a drug den. It was a Home Depot.” -Mayor Karen Bass
