“I don’t know if eating tacos can stop ICE. I know that spending money at Latino-owned restaurants keeps families afloat. I know that showing up for your community matters. And I know that fear thrives in silence, in emptiness, in absence.” ~ @erickgalindo.bsky.social lataco.com/10000-tacos-...

Wired saw it subscription’s rise after removing the paywall for FOIA based reporting.

Free Free Palestine!

It is an honor to stand alongside our friends at Lajee Celtic in support of the people of Palestine.

remember this: "why did you pull me over" "I'm not discussing my day" "Am I being detained or am I free to go" "I invoke the fifth" basically SHUT THE FUCK UP www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nkdh...

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children. The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican. 67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans. www.whoismakingnews.com

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

L.A. TACO has confirmed that Adrian Andrew Martinez, the 20yr-old US citizen taken by federal agents while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is being held at the federal building in downtown L.A. ~ Aisha Wallace-Palomares reporting.

This article accurately captures my 15+ years of experience living in NYC for many of the events described

Y'all notice they're rounding up most of these "freeloading" immigrants AT WORK???!!

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

“So I have two granddaughters, is that okay?” It really is this easy.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

😎

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Was late to my nephew’s choir performance at his fancy Bronx HS. His mom saved a seat next to 2 vaguely familiar women, maybe her friends I had met at one point? We start chatting. They tell me I’m a good uncle for coming all the way uptown for this. Now I have a pic of me with Kelly Ripa & SJP.

Update: We've removed the paywall for all ye who enter.

Can’t emphasize enough what a disgrace this whole sad episode was

TIL that Diego Luna was a Zapatista??? BRO

VIDEO: ICE LEAVING Arcadia Hotel earlier today after protestors made noise for HOURS outside the hotel. No arrests were made, police likely inequipped due to DTLA curfew turmoil. IG: psl_losangeles

If an LAPD officer responds this way they are unfit for duty. Maybe they're tired, untrained, incompetent, or their mom died today. Doesn't matter, they need to be removed from field. If I wore a badge, I wouldn't feel safe serving with them. Why tolerate it in their ranks? (I only have theories.)

Working hard to defend the rights, dignity, and well-being of immigrants, refugees, and the undocumented, they need our help more than ever right now. You can find this article and all resources to combat ICE on a special link we created. Lataco.com/ice Please share

Pep Guardiola: “It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts my whole body… Maybe we think that we see the boys and girls of 4 yo being killed by the bomb, it's not our business… Sorry, but I see my kids. When I see every morning since the nightmare started the infants in Gaza, and I'm so scared."

Excellent analysis.

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

Everything you are seeing on our city streets right now is based on a lie. There is no immigration crisis. It is a manufactured fear campaign designed to get you to accept having your rights taken away. Resist and tell the truth.

The Topps Griffey rookie all star card Tshirt tho 👌

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

This is incredible news. Best I have heard in a while.
