BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.
