I’m pretty sure Greta Thunberg didn’t sail all the way to the Middle East to visit Gaza for a photo op. I’ll tell you why, she is one of the very few people who represents the best in us. If you can’t see the humanity in this, perhaps you aren’t human.

ACAB for sure but LAPD are maybe the worst fuckers out there

If there's one thing I've learned in my 44 years, it's that everything starts on the West Coast as the weirdest shit you've ever heard in your life--and within 15-20 years, it's just mainstream US culture. So, thank you, Los Angeles, you beautiful bastard. You are America.

#GVerse #FuckICE: This enormous peaceful protest erupted in Los Angeles today in defiance of the #OrangeBuffoon's ICE raids. (06/08/2025) This is how it’s done. Please Share, Repost!!!

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

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

Trump is trying to instigate a civil war. Sending troops to Los Angeles is just the beginning.

Given that the fash really seem to want to gin up a war here, and given that protests mostly seem to be defensive response to raids... I imagine ICE agents will be making a concentrated effort to be even more disgusting and authoritarian in their illegal overreach today.

It doesn’t matter to Trump that Pete Hegseth endangered U.S. armed forces by sharing attack plans with his wife, his brother and a journalist. It matters to Trump that Hegseth is willing to order American troops to attack American civilians. That’s why Hegseth is there.

What is happening in LA does not meet the legal requirements for Pinot Pete Hegseth to send in the Marines. This has occurred only TWICE in our history. Threats of military force on US citizens is getting dangerously close to that “tyrannical government” that second amendment talks about.

Note: this is a blanket declaration with no specific mention of Los Angeles. It simply states the National Guard are now assisting and protecting ICE anywhere at the President discretion for 60 Days. That’s a militarized state, my friends.

Trump is salivating at the opportunity (imho) he wants this now Implement Martial Law and Los Angeles is his favorite place to do it Fascist Nazi GESTAPO Read and share please ⬇️

Authoritarian Creep: How Trump Militarized L.A. Overnight www.adammockler.com/p/authoritar...

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. The beginning of a Civil War. And Trump on his way to becoming "King". It happened tonight! Remember this day.

Statement from Gavin Newsom: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the *military* to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.

JULIETTE KAYYEM: “Active duty Marines for this, Hegseth? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know this is going on.”

David Huerta arrested. Does Trump understand what that means? Unions in California are different from other places. “Right now, just in the last 14 hours, labor unions are joining together from far and wide, communities are reaching out in ways I’ve never seen” www.latimes.com/california/s...

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year. It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

This is fascism. Being punished for who you associate with.

So there it is. DOGE needed to look at the Whitehouse for Fraud

President Zelenskyy during interview with Martha Raddatz, responding to Trump's recent gross comments : “We are not kids with Putin at the playground. He is a murderer who came to the park to kill the kids.” Word!

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

We need to keep helping Ukraine and help them defeat the Russian enemies….

A must read thread. "This is not just an American story. It’s a preview. And the question for every other democracy is simple: Do you adapt now, or do nothing and slide into authoritarianism?"

Instead of just pointing fingers, let's unite and mobilize for accountability! We can't let corruption slide—let's demand transparency and justice! #blueresistance

80 years old and bagging groceries isnt the feel good story this thinks it is. local12.com/news/nation-...

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

This should happen all over USA.

Happy Pride to all...I envision a change coming...I will continue the fight until I see it happen...

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

Release the epstein files!

💥 @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.”
