I keep seeing Stephen Miller tweets and every single one of them makes him sound like the most overdramatic little wizard in an anime for dumb babies

Independent Journalism is so important… please support!

I am out. My body, nose, and throat are still covered in tear gas. I’ll leave you with a photo @angryf.bsky.social sent me. I am working hard, I promise. ~Venmo~ is joeyneverjoe if you wanna support my work. You can subscribe to my newsletter, too. Link is in the bio!

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

A less lethal munition started a fire in a dumpster and the LASD continued firing at the car in front of it. In the car is handicapped individual.

Two arrests. @shoton35mm.bsky.social and I are in the middle. Some power trip cops hassled us.

LAPD switched spots with ICE/Feds. There was allegedly a dispersal order. Arrest columns in the back.

How many LAPD officers do you need? This many apparently.

Flash bangs and tear gas thrown outside Metropolitan Detention Center in LA.

I am outside the Federal Detention Center in DTLA. Group is growing. Some art was done.

I think I have a winner for "least likely social media app I'm now seeing people organize anti-ICE protests on":

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass says she's been "in direct contact with officials in Washington" and is working "with law enforcement to find the best path forward" regarding anti-ICE protests x.com/MayorOfLA/st...

A new US Army Blackhawk helicopter flying in from Fresno. Looks like it’s headed to where the last one landed in Compton.

Gentle reminder that immigrants are more than their economic worth. Immigrants are more than their labor. Immigrants are more than their work ethic.

Spent 2020 - 2022 covering protests and made $0.

The vague “solve the problem” is concerning here.

watching the abc livestream and they're focused in on a border patrol helicopter that landed and is bringing more ammo [flashbangs, less-than-lethals] into the dhs building, and there was a terrifying moment where abc's helicopter cam operator went "is that water? bullets?"

Federal agents landed a helicopter on an LA street to resupply.

This is @melbuer.bsky.social on Sean’s account, posting here since it’s his video: the moment that Sean and @ryannemena.bsky.social were injured by what may have been a tear gas canister fired from a line of HSI officers in Paramount, CA.

This is the second day in a row that federal agents shot us both

Two journalists @ryannemena.bsky.social and @acatwithnews.bsky.social have been injured covering the anti-ICE protests in Paramount. They were hit with less-lethals in the head and tear gassed.

More 7/11 updates.

Meanwhile, some opportunistic folks are stocking up on some goods from a 7/11.

Only in LA would protesters think to tag the ground so it’s visible in helicopter shots.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department are calling this a warzone. One side is in military gear, with rifles, throwing flash bangs and tear gas.

This is your reminder to support the on the ground journalists risking eyes and limbs to bring you the first draft of history

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser
