Hey uh do not try to pick burning munitions up. Kick them away, use a damn stick, whatever, but do not touch them. You have no idea if it's an explosively-separating triple-chaser, a flashbang that'll take all your fingers off, an AN-M8 HC grenade that's hotter than a frying pan, etc.

We should remember that ICE agents are people too. They have hopes and dreams. They have families that they're just trying to support. And they have chosen to do that by supporting state repression against defenseless people, and every single one of them should be fired and charged with war crimes.

The best scientific evidence is that the 2020 BLM protests helped defeat Trump in the election. These protests are likely doing the same. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The same people saying "You're playing right into Trump's hands" were saying "Do not comply in advance" a couple months ago.

This is fascist rhetoric. It isn't about citizenship status. It's about distinguishing between the Volk and the Others, and if you are part of the Others, even US citizenship will not protect you.

For @spitfirenews.com, I wrote about the police, military, and ICE escalating violence against immigrants, communities, journalists, officials, and anyone in their path—and how protestors are being blamed for it through abusive rhetoric known as DARVO. spitfirenews.com/p/the-argume...

A separate protest at Los Angeles City Hall is now taking place. LAPD reporting crowd size of 1500-2000 people. This is a different part of DTLA than the federal detention center. Separate protests.

The talk of "liberating" LA really gives the fascist game away.

So, since bad history is damaging: when the civil rights movement talked about "nonviolence" they meant a set of tactics. They planned actions for maximum disruption and intentionally defied police and laws. This is very different from how "peaceful protest" is meant by many using it today.

"Don't fight back, you're doing what they want!" Trump wants to terrorize immigrants and send them to camps. He wants to brutalize protestors, he wants to have an excuse to grab power, and those things are going to happen if you show any resistance to him at all. Your choice is how you react.

ICE is detaining people and tear gassing people in literally the bluest state, on camera, detaining AMERICAN CITIZEN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS and you think they are gonna skip American Black people because you aren’t on the front lines or because you “voted blue.” You are 100% as stupid as you sound.

I'll be real I dont think we should expect political analysis from the guy who tells you how to not dress like shit. Very different things there.

This is like the poster equivalent of those PhDs who are incredibly knowledgeable in their one specific field and they assume that this translates to being well-versed in other fields, so they start confidently talking about how the pyramids were actually grain silos

"Some have even suggested that the fascist government is trying to get a reaction out of us so that it can declare martial law. The absurdity of such a position lies in the fact that an authoritarian regime doesn’t need the law, an excuse, or provocation to do what it wants to."

"If you got arrested then you weren't protesting peacefully" is a lie. Stop spreading it.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious there is a blue dinosaur bumbling around in front of the National Guard at the LA "riots." Absolutely humiliate these fuckers please. Come and play the tuba.

Lot of formal stuff you can argue about here, but the National Guard are state / federal and Newsom could be calling on them to refuse illegal orders, at a minimum. You could also issue constitutional crisis level countervailing orders and let the courts figure it out.
