New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Cripes, Earth. Can you not pull all this shit on my birthday?

Breaking: A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to "return control" of the California National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom after the president issued an extraordinary order deploying them to Los Angeles over the weekend. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

This is the most straightforward thing they've said so far. They're using the military to "liberate" Los Angeles from its mayor and governor.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

My Senator being tackled and detained by Trump's gestapo. Full fascism. Full stop.

El Faro, a Salvadoran publication, has led the way on the reporting on this: elfaro.net/es/201806/el... elfaro.net/en/202205/el... beta.elfaro.net/las-confesio...

There is no scenario under which this makes America great None

Who are these fascists? Name and shame time.

Folks, it’s my birthday tomorrow and I really only want one thing.

Just got a report of Marines near the 91 freeway in Anaheim Hills. There’s a Home Depot in that area, and I would r be surprised if ICE is targeting it.

NONE OF THIS HAD TO HAPPEN.

Every time I see that bald little shit weasel all I can think about is having a baseball bat in my hands.

Say it with me: Being undocumented is not a crime. It’s a civil offense. You know what IS a crime? Committing fraud. Sexual assault. Hoarding classified documents and lying about it. Defrauding charities. Trying to pressure officials to commit treason.

This was going around earlier and it’s pretty accurate in terms of what the protest zone is. This is what the Feds think needs thousands of troops.

Strange Bedfellows.

My friend just got arrested blocking the highway in Joshua Tree to try and prevent the Marines from making it to LA

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - The Declaration of Independence

Been dealing with this shit for years.

Dear MAGA: Fuck you for being the most selfish, greedy, ignorant, deluded movement on the planet. 1/

The area outlined in black (& filled w/ colored boxes) is the city of LA. Outside are cities w/in the county of LA; Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, the Valley, etc. They're all part of what's considered LA. That tiny red circle? That's what Trump's just called in 700 marines to "control." Get it now?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Somebody’s being right c-word to the 2nd most populous city into the nation. Fucking dog killer.

Large peaceful protest from over the weekend. What doesnt get views on the news is what's actually happening in the majority of places. Peaceful protests that the local police are more than happy to keep safe while occuring. This is what Mayor Karen Bass is calling for to continue.

Where’s Hancock when we need him?

Say it with me: IOKIYAR.

LA has seen civil unrest before. MANY times. Each was the result of injustice, and each caused the nation to look at itself- if only for a moment- and ask, “Is this who we are?”

Steven Miller is like the Evil Buster Bluth.

Part of me thinks it’s laughable to think that even if they pulled out the Insurrection Act and declared martial law, that it would hold long-term. This nation is huge. Local police are NOT equipped to monitor everything 24/7 forever. Military ain’t either What’s the plan after the initial shock?

Adam is obviously not from LA.

This is what they’re hiding. Innocent people grabbed and shoved into confined rooms. Indefinite confinement for no reason other than “illegal”. Fuck this.

Heading back to urgent care. Sciatic pain is just too much for boilerplate ibuprofen. I can’t sit up and work like this.

this is a harrowing account delivered with precision and clarity

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

Day 2 LA These are monsters

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.
