You can see America as a nation built on a monstrous agenda of genocide, enslavement, apartheid. Or you can see America as a nation of people who - massacred, enslaved, disenfranchised - absolutely refused again and again to accept that agenda. I am so proud of that second nation.

10. And voila’! Media, Dems, activists, are not talking about the President suggesting he gave the keys to the innermost rooms of our federal agencies budget to a violent drug-dependent oligarch, whose reckless actions imperil lives abroad & the livelihood & security of millions at home.

Can we get through one event without the LAPD beating an unarmed civilian who is not resisting? Clearly not.

This isn’t an insurrection. It’s people protesting the injustice of the tactics of ICE - the inhuman treatment of their families, friends, neighbors and their communities. They have a morale obligation to do this. This has all been orchestrated by the evil and cruel trump regime.

6. Stephen Miller demands more ICE arrests incl at Home Depots. Demands “Arrest everyone!,” regardless of lack of criminal history.
7. Community members in Los Angeles protest. Law enforcement escalates.
8. Mayor, Chief of Police & Governor say, “we got this.”
9. Trump: “Call in the Marines!”

What I really want to find out is if there has ever been an incident of a trans person doing anything in a female toilet. This seems to be the basis of all TERF arguments but I cant find one piece of evidence to suggest this has ever been a thing.

More police rioting:
Police charge and overrun a barricade that is not even being held by anyone, randomly shooting rounds into protestors as fireworks are shot into the area.
Video is at 2x speed, so it's not quite this fast.

I live in Portland, and around 2020 was told on Twitter that "Portland is on fire", "Portland is being destroyed".
Exactly one side of one block of one street downtown was on the news, about one night a week. The rest of the time you could comfortably push a baby stroller down that street.

There are NO riots.
People are protesting against the current administration and its unlawful kidnapping and detention of our family, friends and neighbors. We are protesting the invasion of our city by federal police and military forces. Quit using us for your propaganda.

Australian journalist shot in the leg by LAPD. She was with other media. She’s okay.

Just a few minutes ago CBS KCAL reporter was saying it's "very violent"-yet the literal shot was of people standing around.
Then she said someone broke a window at federal building & a person came up to her specifically & asked her if she'd seen the window broken. Staged stuff going on as well?

It would be lovely if the media would actually use real terms, these are NOT riots. They need to stop using the regimes intentional gaslighting in their reporting.

Sorry, we should’ve explained this better. Some may not realize that flash-bangs have been caught on video starting fires. It’s likely unintentional, but it’s creating serious problems on the ground.
