Mentally I’m here

My parents, who never protested ever, at 73 and 69, will be joining a protest on June 14. It’s never too late. No human is illegal.

Quote post with your favorite song about LA. Not technically about LA - but it works here. youtu.be/kgHh-3nF3Cc?...

For the people who say they want to hear from Obama... The Obama administration deported 3 million people-- a historic number. What exactly do you want to hear from him about ICE right now? Or does it not matter because of his smooth voice? www.npr.org/2024/12/05/n...

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

Journalists were always targets of white supremacists.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

I don’t think people outside LA understand two things: 1. Any violence is state sanctioned. You hate riots? Good, yell at ICE LAPD etc because they’re the ones rioting. 2. LA is wholeheartedly loved and revered by the people who live here. Do not fuck with us.

Funny how the cops -- the ones with weapons who routinely use them against journalists and protesters -- are never also the ones asked to "remain calm" and "be peaceful."

I’ve been in army units who treated guys who were just shooting at us better than federal authorities are treating citizens exercising their 1A rights in LA.

You send masked, unmarked jackboot thugs to aggressively confront & deport people without due process. You don't think people will get angry, scared & fed up? This is literally how the Revolution started. Everyday people got fed up with the Crown's actions.

#LosAngeles is the 2nd largest city in USA and is about half Latino, wealthy city in a state that is nearly half brown, and the 4th largest economy in the 🌎. LA was founded in 1781. It has always been an epicenter of people of Mexican descent organizing and resisting injustice, for nearly 250 years.

I hope every pride parade turns into an anti ICE demonstration. 🏳️‍🌈

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers

So I’m gonna be charismatic while sporting an eye infection, asthma, and seasonal allergies. Great. Just what I wanted. All the attention on me while I’m wheezing, snotting, and oozing from every orifice in my fuckin face. 🫠
