Having a big truck that is actually a fully amplified stage is about the best thing I can imagine owning

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

We're walking right into it. No one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We know where it's headed. Martial law. The end of democracy. No more elections. A waking nightmare. I promise to amplify anyone offering legal, workable solutions. I haven't found any yet. And the left is leaderless.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism. https://www.commondreams.org/news/david-huerta-arrested

A tech mogul tied to the CCP was able to buy personal access to the president and even go to the White House. He can’t legally donate $5 to the president’s campaign he can spend $3.7M on the president’s meme coin, no questions asked. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

LAPD officer and wannabe tough guy Zachary Adler is completely unhinged right now. He was putting his hands on people all night and now he’s walking up to people threatening to shoot point blank. Fuck these pigs.

Have you fucking SJWs considered that if literally everything was different about this parade it would be cool

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

My favorite animal is giant prehistoric otters, they were the size of lions and would probably be pretty scary:

California National Guard troops have arrived at the federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles. This is pure theater. It will never stop Angelenos from protesting ICE kidnappings occurring throughout the vast, 4,000-square mile area of Greater Los Angeles.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. The Trump Administration is fully weaponizing I.C.E., the National Guard, and the FBI against innocent civilians in Los Angeles after the I.C.E. agents (all masked) began indiscriminately abducting people without warrants, cause, or due process.

The AP built a database of 1036 reported deaths (as well as many times that number of serious injuries) from 'less-than-lethal' police tactics, 2012-2021. Prone restraint, bean-bags, chemical weapons, rubber bullets, taser or stun-guns: all can be deadly, but are deployed as though they can't.

Markwayne Mullin: "We're not talking about people that deserve and quality for Medicaid or Medicare ... all we're doing is removing the people that are frauding the American taxpayers out of healthcare ... you can't point to anyone that's losing coverage that deserves and qualifies for the care."

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

Although the Houston ICE arrestee is described in the story as part of the Afghan army, his attorney identifies him as a veteran of the Kandahar Strike Force—aka the QSF or NDS-03, the CIA’s Afghan surrogate force in Kandahar. Here’s a 2021 story of mine about NDS-03’s very difficult escape:

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

This reminds me of those little clips they show under the credits at the opening of a post-apocalyptic movie, to explain how things got to the unimaginable horror you're about to witness

“I will always be on the side of those who have nothing and who are not even allowed to enjoy the nothing they have in peace.” ― Federico García Lorca

Why is this being pushed so hard? It feels nefarious

People in the "alternative wellness space" are telling each other that nicotine is GOOD for you, gives you energy and cures disease/keeps you healthy

😭Vicarious or secondary trauma results from exposure to the trauma others are experiencing. first described as experienced by therapists, but I don't think it's limited to us anymore. Symptoms include social withdrawal, mood swings, increased sensitivity to violence, sleep difficulties, etc...

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.
