These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

ICE (law enforcement in general) operating unchecked under Obama and Biden is part of how we got to now. Sorry if this upsets you.

Fuck ICE Victory to the rebels And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.

Another failure of the Obama era democratic majority. When Obama was elected to his first term, ICE as an agency had existed for only 5 years. Instead we handed over an army of racist hogs to Donald Trump

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Reminder that ICE has only existed since 2003, making it the second worst thing created in 2003, behind only the live-action Cat in the Hat starring Mike Myers.

Legal proceedings have been issued against the Information Commissioner, NHS England, and Hilary Cass for failing to acknowledge that the materials used in the Cass Review are subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Public Records Act 1958. Yes, Hilary Cass is personally being sued.

it’s such a weird conceit of American journalism to enforce the batshit idea that people will only trust us to tell the truth if we ostentatiously lie about our (supposed lack of) personal opinions

its always fun when “violent protest” becomes a discourse du jour and when you look up what that violence entails its guys dragging a dumpster into the road to stop the cops from shooting them in the face with tear gas canisters

The whole “lay back and just ignore Trump,” “don’t play into what he wants” shtick didn’t work in 2016, it didn’t work between 2020 and 2024, and it’s not going to work now. He has to be told no. He has to be held accountable. And he has to be stopped.

Just a reminder, it's only peaceful for as long as the police allow it to be. It is always the police who decide if a protest is going to be violent.

The California National Guard just tear-gassed and fired impact munitions at reporters, children, and community leaders. Multiple injuries. National Guard has now declared an "unlawful assembly" on the streets. Not clear whether NG has legal authority to enforce that far away from federal buildings.
