Greetings! I’m in downtown Los Angeles on 2nd and Los Angeles. CHP and a bearcat are blocking a nearby 7/11; sounds like there’s a larger protest nearby but this block is beginning to see people amassing. A firework was just thrown from a nearby balcony.

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

We are 12% of the people. But we drive 15% of the entire U.S. economy. That gap is nearly a trillion-dollar difference. And what do we get in return? Raids. Cuts. Disrespect. That’s not a partnership—it’s exploitation

Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

I want to be clear on this: the reason for the unrest in LA is these are LEGAL immigrants who are doing EXACTLY what they are supposed to by going to ICE check ins that many have been doing for years, and seeing them getting rounded up including at naturalization preparations.

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

Pepperball projectiles. Percussion grenades. Tear gas, CS gas. Pepper spray. Foam baton rounds. LBD-40s. Marker rounds. I’m guilty of the “less lethals” language as a kneejerk catch-all for these items in the moment, but Luke is right. Time to get specific and stay specific.
