There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone out there tomorrow! ✊💚

More true now than when I first wrote these words…

I hope we get to a point where sexually harassing women is a disqualifying offense for elected office. 👋🏻

Breaking news: Four people have escaped from an immigration detention facility in Newark. They escaped from Delaney Hall, a privately run New Jersey detention facility that local elected officials have sought to close, Department of Homeland Security officials said.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

BREAKING: It appears that ICE may have conducted a hit and Run in Los Angeles in the last hour. krassencast.com/p/breaking-a...

Last night's curfew in downtown L.A. stranded commuters and peaceful protesters attending an interfaith rally as LA Metro, in the confusion, shuttered all train and bus service in DTLA. Residents, exempt from curfew, were fired on by LAPD. If you want peace, you need to protect your citizens.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

40 cops are afraid of a young woman in an empty intersection? Or are they just thirsty for blood? To quote NWA, "Fuck the police"

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

We take note of your disapproval but do not take direction from you.

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.

Stop worshipping boring rich white guys.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

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

Keep filming and streaming Los Angeles. The world is watching. ✊

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

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.
