LAPD when they think no one’s looking

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

Waiting for media at large to start the relentless drumbeat of OLD COLLAPSING SENILE TRUMP MUST RESIGN. Waiting for prominent Republicans to demand an early convention during which his potential replacements will fight bitterly to seize the Presidency.

Newsom saying a military force, for which he is the commander in chief, was deployed without his consent. (NG units require a declaration of national emergency or actual threat of rebellion to be federalized.) Newsom says legal action is coming tomorrow.

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He should’ve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

The sequence: 1. Musk denounces Trump’s budget bill;calls it an abomination. 2. Musk says Trump (& Repubs) wouldn’t have won 2024 election w/o him. Says Trump is ungrateful. 3. Musk calls for Trump’s impeachment. 4. Musk says Trump is in Epstein files. 5. Trump says Musk is a drug addict.

Funny way to word an admission of guilt but sure.

Wow. This is huge. “The City of #Glendale #California has decided to end its agreement with U.S. Homeland Security/ #ICE to house federal #immigration detainees. This local decision reflects our core values: public safety, transparency, and community trust.”

“France has … jailed one tech mogul… there’s plenty of trash published on X. So is Elon Musk next? Probably not… But in the very, very off chance it did, there’d probably be a bit of schadenfreude … given Musk’s attacks on European democracy and tech regulation” www.politico.eu/article/emma...

#GVerse #FuckICE: This enormous peaceful protest erupted in Los Angeles today in defiance of the #OrangeBuffoon's ICE raids. (06/08/2025) This is how it’s done. Please Share, Repost!!!

The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...

The people of LA would really like to go about their day. Buy groceries, get their laundry done, spend time with family. Live their lives in peace. Kind of like all our immigrant friends and neighbors. It’s the feds and ICE that are making this impossible. They are creating the crisis.

We won! The AC Hotel allowed ICE to stay there, and we showed up in protest and the hotel management then asked ICE to leave! #Pasadena #Protest #NoICE cc: @maddow.msnbc.com

Heyo! I am in #SanFranciscoCA where a "ICE OUT OF THE BAY" protest in front of the Sansome St. ICE office was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. So far, approximately. 75-100 people are here, many holding signs and a a lone SFPD officer is attempting to manage traffic on the intersection.

Ideas for words for signs for No Kings Day? (besides the obvious “No Kings”) If you’re anywhere near Douglasville, Georgia (USA) on June 14th, please join us for No Kings Day Rally and Sign Waving (details below)

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

Los Angeles today:

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

the issue is not just ICE. we can live free and safe. or we can have police like we have right now. we cannot do both

This is important meta analysis. We’re experiencing a national news story with Constitutional crisis implications, but most of LA wouldn’t know it without press. The population of Los Angeles County is larger than 42 states. This place is ginormous.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

French politician Claude Malhuret critiqued the United States' shifting stance on Ukraine and targeted President Donald Trump in his remarks during a general session of the French Senate (March 7, 2025, video link) m.youtube.com/watch?v=unSS...

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

2 my fellow Los Angelinos Don't vandalize B-a journalist You all have cameras YOU'RE AN ARMY OF JOURNALISTS INTERVIEW THEM ON THE SPOT THIS HAS POWER Not spray paint and broken bottles don't catch a case over some bullshit Find your inner journalist PEACEFULLY ORGANIZE & NETWORK

More from a journalist in Los Angeles today:

Southern Baptists plan to vote this week on acting to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the US Supreme Court ruling that legalized marriage equality 10 years ago. This coincides with a campaign in state legislatures to challenge the view that same-sex marriage has become an established civil right.

Make peace visible. ☮️ They’re looking for photo ops. Don’t throw things, don’t spit…and beware agitators. Protesting against this fascist regime is needed and it’s our civil right, but they win if you bite — please don’t take the bait. Be safe out there 🙏🏼

We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE
