delighted by the idea of interminable southern california sprawl thwarting a fascist power grab

tom homan is apparently in los angeles lol, per local news

This is a misrepresentation. The video was shot a few weeks ago. It’s of an airlift/landing to take a snake-bitten K9 to an emergency vet. This is why I urge people not to just knee-jerk repost images/videos without making sure the info is legit. www.kens5.com/article/news...

Man imagine being such a combination of malicious and incompetent that the LAPD think it’s too much

my opinion on the question of whether or not dhs is deliberately courting an incident in southern california for politics reasons is that it is extremely hard to predict or explain the behavior of hostile dipshits

some of us did both but we are all fundamentally unelectable in the modern oppo research era

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

cool!

the "i am not the secret police" plate covering my name, organization, and badge number is bringing up a lot of questions already answered by the plate covering my name, organization, and badge number

trump remains popular on "the border" and there seems to be an investment in news media and democratic consultancy in suggesting that this means his immigration policy is popular writ large but when people are asked about both border security and deportations there is a wide gulf

federal government to declare the entirety of california a National Cool Zone

It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the internal solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

do we think the narrative that they're going after "criminals" survives all this? the obvious coordinated activity around businesses, the reporting about miller demanding home depot raids. i'd like to believe not but it's proven remarkably resilient, people don't notice until it's the next town over

almost 5 years to the day

Reports that ICE ran a barricade and hit protesters in LA

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

one of the ice raids in los angeles today was on workers at an apparel manufacturer. the reason trump's tariff on vietnam was especially high is that we import a lot of... apparel from vietnam. apparel that he says he wants manufactured in the us

Really spinning the wheel of “Newsome can never be president of the United States but could be the Imperator of California”

gonna go out on a limb here and say that i think an endless stream of tanks filing into the capital in the shadow of the washington monument is bad

federal government to declare the entirety of california a National Cool Zone

Mr Trump thank you for making our nation SAFE AGAIN by arresting restaurant workers while releasing convicted fraudsters and perverts

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

not that it's not dangerous or real but they've also all been super hornt up to find something on "the left" to call an insurrection ever since they did one and everyone was temporarily very mad at them about it

BREAKING: ICE raid and community resistance in front of Home Depot in Paramount, California.

They'd really love to pull the trigger on the insurrection act but I don't think it works out the way they think it does

"my brothers you think you're doing the right thing," one demonstrator says to police "you're not.

Mass deportation and immigration enforcement in the interior requires a police state, and the more of that you want, the more obviously it will look and act like a police state. Roll paramilitary goons into people's neighborhoods and it isn't some abstract issue of "the border" anymore.

i was internet famous on myspace when i was 15 you cannot explain away your behavior on the internet in a way i have not tried and failed to do to myself

Fellow Californians, here's who to call after today's ICE raids in LA: 1. Call your MOC: (202) 224-3121 (switchboard) 2. Call your STATE assemblymembers/senators: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov 3. And call/email Newsom: www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

i will never try to bar people who regret their votes from coming on side but when i see my neighbors' families torn apart it's extremely hard to swallow the idea that everyone has to be nice to them about it

it is never good to knowingly disinform people

This is not correct. ICE kidnapped ~50 people today in LA. That’s extraordinarily evil and brought out folks from all over the city in response, but being accurate matters—just as we confirm reports of ICE sightings, rather than simply spread fear.

this is what the doge kids weed looks like. to me
