Are you new and wondering what is L.A. TACO?

They'd rather throw away 12 million dollars worth of contraceptives and HIV meds than give it away to the people it was slated to go to. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

The #BethesdaDeclaration stories are now up on the front pages of both the New York Times and the Washington Post. Thanks again to the brave folks at NIH who stood up and worked together to make this happen. 1/n

This is your daily reminder that rubber bullets are lethal. As lethal as a standard bullet? No, but lethal none the less. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This is my beautiful rescue puppy, Maxine. She is 11 months old this week. We named her after the beautiful and strong Maxine Waters.

Go Maxine!!! Stand with the protesters in LA. She asks National Guard nearby what are you going to do shoot these young people?”

Fellow Angelenos. One way you can help if you can't be at protests in person (and not everyone can-zero judgment) is to get yourself and your community prepared for an emergency. Now. Please read and do what you can. Community is Resistance.

Glendale, CA - The City of Glendale has made the decision to formally terminate its agreement with U.S. Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to house federal immigration detainees at the Glendale Police Department facility. www.glendaleca.gov/Home/Compone....

The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...

Watch this and pass it on. This is state thuggery, call them the Stasi, the Gestapo, NKVD--this is what dictators do. It's horrifying to hear this story.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

We should remember that ICE agents are people too. They have hopes and dreams. They have families that they're just trying to support. And they have chosen to do that by supporting state repression against defenseless people, and every single one of them should be fired and charged with war crimes.

I am a 3rd generation Angelena. I am not Latina, but I grew up surrounded by Mexican, Honduran, Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, and Guatemalan friends, teachers, classmates, coworkers, and neighbors. Latinos and indigenous peoples were here first. Their culture is Angeleno culture. Viva la Raza.

When masked thugs show up in your neighborhood and start disappearing your neighbors, the reaction is never "a riot". It's self defense.

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

Note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. military: If directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, & it won’t be here either. Your oath is to the US Constitution—not to a 34X convicted felon.

Write down what is happening now. The smallest details matter. We will tell this story. Do not think that your voice is too small or insignificant. Roar. shop.ushmm.org/products/i-w...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

They aren't doing it with the express purpose of killing people, but they know it will, and they just don't care.

"Roughly 1,500 babies have been born HIV-positive every day since January 21, because Musk cut off their mothers’ medication." prospect.org/power/2025-0...

Musk and Trump will be responsible for more death’s than the Khmer Rouge through the destruction of PEPFAR alone is something I think about constantly.

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.

Obama on fixing Bluesky…

RFK Jr: “We will create an honest, unbiased, gold-standard science at HHS, accountable to the President, to Congress, and the American people.” Here is the list of cuts not advertised or reviewed but instead pieced together by us from leaks. The programs in bold (most) have ALREADY been cut.
