I doubt it will be be the military that fires on unarmed civilians. They're often far better trained with clear rules of engagement. It'll likely be DHS thugs who are untrained in protest response armed with weapons of war. If they do, all bets are off and will escalate this to a breaking point.

Is it brain fog or bad faith? Cuz if you claim to be a radical and an organizer but youre repping non violence when the two most popular political moments of the last five years involved Luigi Mangione (>70% approval) and burning down the 3rd precinct (more popular than either pres. candidate)

Something worth remembering about immigration: it's not a choice between values and pocketbook. You get both. The best evidence is that immigration enriches us all. If you want to convince yourself, imagine the USA didn't ban Chinese immigration in 1882, or immigration more broadly in 1924.

there are few worse/lazy headline constructions than “tensions flare as ____” because it answers zero questions. who’s tense? who’s making them flare? what’s the difference between each side’s ways of expressing their tension? who has more power in the situation?

The thing about humans is that we've been dealing with rich jackasses ruining everything all the way back to when one of them decided to jam two extra months into the year to aggrandize himself and now December which literally has "10th" in its name is now 12th. Same as it ever was.

Sending out thousands of national guard to crush a protest of a few hundred at most is not strength, it's weakness. Power doesn't panic. If there were hundreds of thousands in the streets, they wouldn't be able to stop it. Those on the side of democracy outnumber them.

2020 they were out everywhere and Trump is operating on the principle that if you send the national guard before the uprising generalizes...you will repress the uprising forever in every city? You won't just...run out of goons faster for no reason cuz you've got a boomer hard on for deploying troops

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

I’ve seen some bad takes but arguing that people are rooting in the streets is not just rancid, it’s incredibly dangerous given all that’s been going on. Federal law enforcement isn’t on the ground in LA because of riots, they’re rioting.

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

Absolutely wild that LA has deployed LAPD, DHS has deployed both ICE and CBP, now the white house is calling in the national guard. You'd think the wildest riot in history was going down in LA right now, but it's actually just a bunch of protestors mostly just standing around holding signs.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

If the president gives unlawful orders, it’s the responsibility of military officers to refuse those orders. It’s imperative the movement maintains non-violent discipline so the military will side with the constitution and the people. We can win if we stand together.

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

ICE are a clear and present danger to every person in the United States. They're a fascist gestapo operating without any accountability. Abolishing ICE is the compromise.
