To anyone protesting in L.A. find the phone number of the local chapter of the National Lawyer's Guild Write it on your arm with a sharpie If you're arrested, USE IT

End this f***ing oligarchy.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

Piling repression on repression only fuels the people’s right to demand justice, reminding the monarch his throne in the Oval Office exists by the will of those he oppresses: the citizens. #3E

Doesn’t sound like we need the national guard. 🤔

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

Real talk. "Less Lethal" doesn't mean not lethal. They can still cause life changing injury and permanent disability. If you're on the receiving end of one, see a medic. If you're hit in the trunk/groin area *definitely see a medic*. If you're hit in the head, go to an ER.

If Democrats didn't want people to resist fascism with violence, they should've gotten off their ass and resisted it with everything in their power on Biden's Day 1. You can't Do Nothing and let fascists consolidate power and tell citizens to just lay down and take it. Dem shit isn't working.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

The State of California has not requested National Guard support because it is not needed. Invoking the Insurrection Act under these conditions is an abuse of power. We urge everyone to remain peaceful — violence only fuels those looking to justify further escalation.

We love LA Fuck ICE Be safe

I am an originalist, in that I believe in tarring and feathering assholes like this.

Newsom: The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.

Violating the Posse Comitatus Act sure sounds like a high crime to me.

These ICE fuckers don't represent LA and neither do the LAPD helping them The people on the streets standing up for their neighbors are what make LA special

REMINDER: Stephen Miller was born and raised in Santa Monica, California, and numerous reports from journalists—and people who knew him when he was growing up there—indicate he had a deep-seated disdain of immigrants, particularly Hispanic people. California has always been a target for him.

The National Guard should take off their helmets and lay down their arms. It is not their duty to protect ICE agents who are terrorizing communities all across our nation. National Guardsmen and Guardswomen, do not turn on your fellow country men and women. Resist.

Yikes. Yikety yikety yikes.

Los Angeles Police Department says anti-ICE activity on Saturday "remained peaceful, and we commend all those who exercised their First Amendment rights responsibly" x.com/LAPDPIO/stat...

Please help us. We have people who’ve been hurt just trying to help others. More are out now. Please, record everything. We will hold those accountable who are breaking the law and attacking our communities. Do not provoke.

There's a part of me that wants to snort that if our state was really in an open state of rebellion, the local news would probably be covering this. But as it stands: CBS 2: Covering insurance NBC 4: Destination X/American Ninja Warrior ABC 7: The Connors: Fox 11: Raw Travel

Really begging news agencies to simply state who is escalating violence in this case.

🚨BREAKING: A military Blackhawk helicopter is unloading dozens of boxes of weapons and ammunition in Los Angeles “as if they were getting ready for a major battle.”

Apparently, the orange conman has deployed the national guard against the wishes of Gavin Newsom, who believes that it will make the matter worse. ICE is the ones causing the violence. The residents are protesting non violently.

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

Head’s up. The Insurrection Act has not been invoked. This is against the will of the State of California #NationalGuard #USArmedForces

Passed the Federal Building Plaza. A few dozen protesters, all peaceful, rallying with signs. LAPD helos circling

This tweet alone warrants his impeachment and removal.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

ACLU Statement: "[T]he Trump administration is putting Angelenos in danger, creating legal and ethical jeopardy for troops, and recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians." "unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power"

Chinga la migra Fuck ICE

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” *Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

If there is no shortage of law enforcement this is absolutely no reason to do this and you should be saying so. Any orders to the National Guard need to go through you! It’s in the statute they’re invoking!

It is possible to simultaneously be frightened of what tonight’s events mean for the country and for the people who may be harmed in LA, *and* to be angry as hell, to get in the streets, and to fight like hell.

what happens in the colonies never stays in the colonies

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people
