Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

No Kings Day: Stand Up Now Or Lose It All I’m protesting Saturday. Because this is it. The line. Not here. Not now. Not ever. Because silence = surrender. Because our kids are watching. So is the world. Because if we don’t show up, who will? See 👇👇👇 open.substack.com/pub/mitchthe...

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

I think too many people think that democracy lasts till someone sends a press release saying it’s over. No. Fascism is here. It’s here and it’s not visiting. Arresting elected officials, putting the military on the streets, abducting protesters… we are living in a fascist state.

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

While Trump has tanks rolling through DC for his authoritarian parade on Saturday, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else for No Kings Day. With nearly 2,000 events planned nationwide, this will be the single largest protest of this Trump administration. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.
