ICE crossed a line in LA

submitted 3 hours ago • 288 comments

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

When progressives called to defund ICE, it was derided as a bad campaign slogan Now ICE is ravaging communities and attacking protesters With Trump using the incident as an excuse to federalize the National Guard-and possibly as a precursor to declaring martial law www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

We can't afford cancer care for veterans, school lunches for kids or Meals on Wheels for seniors because Trump is spending: • $1 billion to retrofit a hand-me-down Qatari plane • $330,000,000 to play golf • $100,000,000 to build a new ballroom • $92,000,000 for a birthday parade But DOGE

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

In normal times, actual conservatives would be up in arms if even 1/3 of these well-documented stories were true. Today, of course, the GOP isn't conservative. It isn't committed to democracy. It embraces kleptocracy instead. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

Worth keeping in mind: He’s not actually charged with something that requires proof of gang membership/activity. Which suggests the following 1. We said he was MS 13 2. We have to prosecute him 3. Say he’s MS 13 in the indictment, charge him with something that doesn’t require us to prove it

Trump is turning the U.S. into a cruel nightmare state and pariah. Who are we? Who are the officers willing to “just follow orders” and do this?

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

How about some uplifting news? The LA community is rising up at this very moment and protesting en masse against the unconstitutional, inhumane, and Gestapo type raids today. This is how we fight back against fascism. We the people are more powerful than the despots.✊✊🏻✊🏾

Elon is right... there is so much "pork" in Trump's Big Bill Republicans plan to slash food assistance for kids & seniors and Meals on Wheels so they can increase subsidies for Florida's big sugar producers by 20% Rob from the poor to give to the rich floridaphoenix.com/2025/06/05/t...

Tucked inside the 1,200-page appendix to the White House’s budget request to Congress is a proposal to eliminate a grant program that provides domestic violence shelters with money to support survivors’ pets. So yeah, Republicans want to ban survivors' pets from domestic violence shelters.

🚨BREAKING: Alabama is again appealing its long-running redistricting battle to the U.S. Supreme Court, two years after the high court already affirmed a district court decision that struck down the state’s original congressional map for violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

There’s another scandal buried in the Trump-Republican budget plan that’s not getting enough attention: massive giveaways to Big Oil.

This is, of course, the reason why Farage is so close to the US oil industry.

It is, uh, not great to find out that a ton of american politicians really crave having secret police.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Senator Murphy "keepin' it real." Don't take your eye off the ball, peeps! While we're enjoying our popcorn moment, the healthcare of millions are on the chopping block.

In claiming that those dropped from Medicaid will be put on employers’ insurance plans instead, James Lankford just enunciated Trickle Down 2.0: Healthcare Edition. It’s a lie, just like classic trickle-down economics. This budget plan will give us a sicker America. www.alternet.org/james-lankfo...

This is f*cked up! Stories of ICE luring immigrants to hearings just to arrest them keep coming—now they’re going after kids. Martir Garcia Lara, a fourth grader from Southern California, went to a hearing in Houston with his dad. Instead of an update, they were both detained and separated by ICE.
