It is imperative to recognize and call out this regime's bigoted identity politics. Their treatment of nonwhite electeds amounts to Taneyism. To them, these officials hold no authority they are bound to respect. Padilla, McIver, Baraka are merely the latest. They are doing this to POC on purpose.

Following the 2020 protests, the city enacted a municipal law that prohibits people from carrying a wide range of items during demonstrations. Be mindful of the items you carry every day (such as pepper spray) to a protest. Even if you don't use it, if arrested, they can cite you an extra charge

@jamesstout.bsky.social can maybe clarify since he’s British and they love their horse cops, but horses don’t like barricades or people locking arms in a skirmish line.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

🚨"Jesus you just hit me!" our reporter @tinadesireeberg.com shouts as LA County Sheriff officers hit her with "less lethal" ammunition. "I got hit by a less lethal, I'm OK, that's what the Kevlar's for...it didn't penetrate anything." LIVESTREAM link below

It’s not even curfew and they’re trampling people.

The interesting question, that we’ll likely never know, is how they are finding these people. What surveillance tools are they using.

I think the Mayor and Governor would have welcomed the National Guard and the Marines to “quell” the protests.

Is anyone archiving Bsky posts? Stuff disappeared in 2020 and the posts/videos here need to be saved.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Videos from the past weekend that didn’t make it because I couldn’t upload or had other things to more pressing to share. Here people incarcerated inside the Metropolitan Detention Center tap on their windows in solidarity with the protesters. Some held up signs to the window. (I got photos)

Journalism has become the playground of billionaires and the children of the rich while real journalists can't pay rent. The news is reduced to propaganda line of the ruling class Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Journalists use "extreme caution" when reporting on unfolding events. But regarding a US officer shooting an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet, one journalism expert says it's “strange that the language has been so guarded”.
