Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

it is sort of fascinating that there is a direct line from the election of the first Black man to the presidency to Trumpist hegemonic suicide

The most vital thing you can do right now is spread this message offline to normies. There is no "unrest", there's a protest. It has 400 people. LA does worse when the Lakers come in 3rd in a season.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

At ~6:15 p.m. tonight the Los Angeles City Attorney sent out a statement on the ICE raids. "The dangerous escalation of the tactics being used across Los Angeles undermines trust between our immigrant communities and government, and makes us all less safe." cityattorney.lacity.gov/updates/la-c...

Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

Appropriately dark representation of what’s happening to our nation. TW: police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag. This is happening in and around LA. God save us all. 🇺🇸 #ICE #LosAngeles #SoCal #DHS

there is no rioting. nobody is looting. Nobody is burning random stuff down. This is just americans rising up to protect their neighbors from the ICE brownshirts.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

What do we call it when soldiers concentrate millions of people into open-air camps surrounded by concrete and razor wire and then systematically starve them to death

i think it's really cool that like 50% of all municipal budgets go to fund guys who milk overtime to do this between 2 part time gigs body guarding where they also clock overtime when they're not playing candy crush on duty

Taylor Swift fans having a coherent orderly exit from Twitter based on their values and interests not being respected is exhibiting more personal dignity and organizing power than any actual group of elected officials right now lol

Really need folks to understand that when Trump does his next coup and we take to the streets, it'll be Democratic governors calling out the National Guard and Democratic mayors calling out the cops to violently suppress us. They'll be calling for law and order and "violence is never the answer".

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I'd go with like "many of the pedophiles who flew with Trump on Jeffrey Epstein's planes are the same people who are also trying to cut health care for Americans. Part of the reason they want us poor is so we can't fight back when they rape our kids."

I think you can make a reasonable case that the move in retrospect was to take very coercive steps to vaccinate everyone ASAP then do a full reopening. Instead the "Dems kept schools closed too long!" people always insist it was BEFORE the vaccines that everything should've reopened. It's insane!

One more for the "WTF" quota... This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in February when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week. "It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
