Make no mistake, Trump’s “Third World lawlessness” in LA = “there should be no non-white people with any rights or voice in the usa” Fascism, if it is to come to the usa, will ride in on anti-migrant politics and will be aided and abetted by nationalists of all stripes Solidarity is our only hope.

Media please mind your language. There is a difference between protests and riots. If you need clarity on the difference every news outlet can simply play this tonight. WATCH to the end. (from the official footage shown by the Jan. 6 Committee)

I’m just saying, when people need to fight for their freedom against oppression, actually fighting is part of it. It’s what “fight” means.

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.

Senior immigration officials are currently urging officers to “turn the creative knob up to 11.” This will only increase warrantless arrests. ICE has no shame in bypassing legal requirements www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

i stopped wearing red crosses more than a decade ago, because police *habitually* target medics. this isn’t a one-off, it’s a deliberate choice they make over and over again. it’s not “a few bad apples,” it’s widespread practice.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

If you are concerned by the Trump regime’s attempt to turn LA into a police state so ICE can raid a Home Depot, please note: Every US Senator will soon vote on HR1, a tax & spending bill that would increase funding for ICE removal actions by 500% & put 10k more masked agents on US streets.

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.

Regardless of what we think of the tactics of protestors at any given place and time, we must defend everyone always. Do not be divided by the old trick of distinguishing between “good”and “bad” protesters. (And be mindful of the very real existence of provocateurs. They are usually quite obvious)

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.
