This is one reason why law enforcement has to identify themselves so that criminals can't impersonate them. That's too complicated for Trump and his cabinet, but ordinary people understand it.

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.

They promised mass deportations. They'd get those criminals. But it seems there weren't all that many criminals, so to rack up "mass" numbers, they have to get the guy making your pizza, the woman cleaning your hotel room, the guy repairing your roof,... 1/2

“the startling increase in firearm deaths in US children since 2010 is not evenly distributed across the 50 states. Not remotely… that loosened gun laws since 2010 recorded over 7,400 more pediatric firearm deaths than would have been expected based on existing trends and population changes”

The dishonesty of right wing podcaster trolls like Ted Cruz is to be expected. Nevertheless, keep it calm. Hit ICE with words. Call them cowards, gestapo, fascists...whatever. But don't throw shit.

The overreaction here is amazing. What's happening in LA is a series of protests, with some bad actors on both side causing problems. Rioting? Ha! I grew up in LA and lived miles from the epicenter of the Watts riots, and remember the rioting after Rodney King. J6 was rioting. This stuff? No.

Those "riots" in LA? It was a protest that got a bit out of hand, briefly. Some idiots threw shit they shouldn't have thrown (eggs, people, even though they're expensive). I know riots, and that wasn't one. But ... 1/2
