Culver City #NoKings

Culver City. City Hall 10:59 am

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Saying LA protestors shouldn't have done _____ because it's only giving the right phot ops or whatever is just another version of "you shouldn't have worn that".

Look, it’s simply an incredible string of coincidences that so many Republican officials turn out to be pedophiles.

People need to pay more attention to this.

Whoa, how did I miss this thing of beauty that is #AlGore 's speech on the glaring screaming obviousness of the atrocity of fascism in every single way that #Trump admin is.

This is an accurate headline. NBC etc need to grow a spine.

The lies the right have shrilly, virulently overwhelmed the media with for decades have proven far more effective for the GOP than dems actually helping American people. Dems thought all reasonable people would see the hate & hypocrisy & reject the GOP but they underestimated the allure of hate.

“LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell has drawn a distinction between protesters and masked "anarchists" who, he said, were bent on exploiting the state of unrest to vandalize property and attack police….”

Add on media using the word "riot" over and over when they are PROTESTS. It's so disappointing. They have failed us so badly.

The choice to escalate to violence has consistently been ICE and LAPD.

current state of American democracy: all sizzle, no steak.

Remember last Thursday when all anyone could talk about was how Elon said Trump is a pedophile on main

There’s always an Ayn Rand quote.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

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.
