Sent to me from a source who took this video yesterday who says LAPD pushed an unhoused person walking in the crosswalk. The fall caused the woman’s head to crack open. LAPD dragged and left her bleeding on the sidewalk, providing no medical care. The person a group of onlookers took her to the ER.

Hey @nytimes.com do better. I have a subscription and am seriously thinking of cancelling. If things don't get better in the next three to four days, I am. The protests should be at/near the top of the website. The war on people by ICE, troops, police, should be at/near the top.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Los Angeles has its mayoral election next year. Karen Bass is planning to run for re-election. Bass needs to drop out to avoid spoiling the progressive vote.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

At some point we gotta start arrest ICE agents for kidnapping

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Fetterman @fetterman.senate.gov was having dinner with Steve Bannon at a MAGA hangout. Go ahead and switch parties, Uncle Fester, but AOC is gonna keep humiliating you either way.

Newsom is literally sending cops from around the state to come brutalize us in LA. He was *literally* throwing poor people’s belongings away with his own hands. Fuck Gavin Newsom.

He must be protected at all costs.

President of the Mexican Senate, "We'll build the wall and pay for it. But we'll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico... Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland."

Things are getting a little zany over on Nazi bot website as No Kings Day nears. Glad they got a cute pic of us @leahgreenberg.bsky.social!

Cable news is a cancer

🚨Secret police! Do you accept secret police? My family fled from Argentina where secret police jailed my grandfather & killed my dad's best friend's father as well as about 30,000 other Argentinians. When people conceal their identities, no one's safe! Anyone could be taken, even me and you.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Watch. Listen.

Congrats to @whatajlp.bsky.social on trouncing Pam Bondi’s brother by a 10-to-1 margin in the most closely watched DC bar election of all time.

Just in from DC Bar - labor attorney Diane Seltzer defeats securities attorney Brad Bondi in a closely watched race with record turnout.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Thread. Our current group of liberal elites took the lessons of successful non-violent social movements and interpreted them into the "hitting is always wrong" lecture you give your 5 year old.

I’m just going to get this out now, since I know it’s coming, and I can just link to it. DO NOT FETISHIZE NON-VIOLENCE. It is a PRACTICE and a DISCIPLINE. The people who employed it successfully trained RIGOROUSLY. It’s not just a decision, because it goes against basic human instincts. 1/x
