Here's the Washington Examiner piece that first quoted Stephen Miller ordering ICE to invade Home Deport a few weeks ago. This makes it clear that Miller himself ordered the escalation that has led to conflict in LA. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...

If half this country comes to see the military as the enemy, we are truly fucked. What Trump is doing here is perhaps the most dangerous blow to the stability of this country short of the Civil War. The GOP has betrayed this country. They have sold us out.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

Have national Dems, who claim to want to "win back" the working class, said anything yet about ICE injuring and arresting the head of the SEIU of California? truthout.org/articles/ice...

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

White folks watched a bunch of white folks sack the Capitol and then most of them be pardoned by the head of the white identity party and now we're supposed to listen to other white people pontificate about non-violence...

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to anybody. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. (This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

The last English monarch who tried to govern "absolutely" was King Charles I. He believed in his divine right to rule, dissolving Parliament when it suited him. He was put on trial for treason in 1649 and refused to enter a plea. He was found guilty and executed. A history lesson for Felon47.

Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Are we sure Trump isn’t importing ICE troopers from foreign countries? Some of these agents don’t look or sound like they are from the US. Foreign troops from Israel? El Salvador?

With #ICE raiding the world's 4th largest #economy of its immigrant workforce, don't expect the #markets on Monday to look pretty. Trump is destroying the national economy in real time.

The federal wage hasn’t gone up in 15 years. Rent has doubled. Groceries cost more than ever. But corporate profits? Record-breaking. This isn’t inflation. It’s exploitation. #RaiseTheWage

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Conservatives have zero credibility denouncing attacks on the police when most of them said nothing after Donald Trump pardoned cop beaters on day one. They can shut the fuck up and sit this one out, as far as I’m concerned.

L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.
