Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Profoundly disappointed with @amyklobuchar.com's utter inability to meet this moment. Just a baffling lack of understanding and courage.

Imagine people who feel so threatened by the existence of others simply because they look, speak, worship, or love differently. People who are so terrified of the otherness, they will do whatever it takes to destroy them. People, so addicted to hatred, they don’t see their own self destruction.

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.

That description really takes your breath away. This is the kind of journalistic integrity we need right now. Threads.

I'll never forget that Linda Tirado lost an eye and is dying from TBI-induced dementia caused by a cop shooting her in the face by a rubber bullet at the George Floyd protests.

In person and virtual rallies: On Friday afternoon, military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. At one location, SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers.

California SB 98, passed in 2021, specifically allows journalists to remain in areas closed by law enforcement during public events. The law officers from assaulting, interfering with, or obstructing journalists. Nor can journalists be cited for failure to disperse. @knightcolumbia.org

This is exactly why ICE agents need to stop wearing masks. This could happen to anyone. #USDemocracy

@maestramarney.bsky.social This is heartbreaking and highly illegal, but #Felon47 doesn't care; he and his entire regime are subhuman. The SCOTUS is set to take this action on an emergency basis, however, I have little faith in his MAGA-controlled justices. They make up laws. #ImpeachTrump

"specifically telling press to leave the area" is a phrase that makes my stomach hurt. in an age where every protester has their own camera, it's futile, but they don't want us to see what happens next.

Never forget that what we are seeing happen right now was an explicit and open campaign promise of Trump's.

Al Jazeera does the best reporting on it, but it still frustrates me that people continue to talk about international law like it's a real justice system. It is not. youtu.be/reI86GmNwz8

The people you're describing will not be moved by this no matter how perfect the "optics" They'll just accuse the protesters of being paid by Soros and spend years claiming that LA was "burned to the ground", like I hear them talk about Portland

On X, someone replied to my post about the Ntl. Guardsmen not being "patriots. "Jack, you know your p*ssy-ass would have done exactly what you were ordered to do...just like them!" That's fair. And, probably true. That's the best thing about being 59; having wisdom I didn't have at 23.

Damn right. I’m so sick of the political narrative being driven by small town bigots in flyover country. Time for policy - Democratic politicians to start advocating for the REAL America - urban America.

Here we go again. Just like in 2020 right-wingers will be posting old videos or videos from other countries claiming it was today in the US. All for clicks and to fan the flames of division and hatred. It’s part of their standard playbook.
