ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

Reporter: There’s a pretty good chance Trump might be watching Newsom: I hope so, he might learn something— rescind this order— it’s illegal. You’re creating the conditions you claim you’re solving and you’re not

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

The city of Glendale, in Los Angeles County, announced today that they're quitting an agreement with ICE thad allowed ICE to house its detainees at the Glendale police department. mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...

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

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

The Marine Corps unit placed on prepare-to-deploy orders is the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, an infantry unit based in Twentynine Palms, California, according to a defense official.

Things are escalating fast on the freeway in Los Angeles. Tear gas canisters are being kicked back and forth

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Protesting is important!

A note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. Armed Forces: If you are directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not deemed a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, and it won’t be a valid defense here either.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

So Terry can't call Stephen Miller hateful, but JD Vance can call Terry hateful. Got it.

This is exactly what we need from all our members of Congress—SHOW UP. Thank you, Reps @gomez.house.gov , @repluzrivas.bsky.social , @ntorres35.bsky.social , and Lou Correa for showing up at the Federal Building to demand answers amid reports of inhumane conditions: no beds, no food, no water.

Gov. Gavin Newsom demanded on Sunday that President Trump pull California National Guard troops off the streets and away from the demonstrations unfolding in Los Angeles.

Be a shame if people registered for events.america250.org/events/army-... and then weren't able to make it.

Immediately after gas exposure, if possible have an unexposed person help you. After gas exposure, and clear, flush eyes with WATER only. Wash hands , then face, get out of exposed clothes in a safe place. Shower, not bath.

We've covered protection for tear gas. Now for reactions. Evade or escape exposure to gas. AVOID touching yourself especially face eyes, nose, mouth. Once clear and in a safe location for the night , remove exposed cloth and clothes carefully. Wash separately. Do not re use protective gear. Cont'd

I am not giving up, and neither should you. They need us more than we need them. This is how we take back our power. 🔥 The Digital Exodus imaginethenews.com/musings-for-...

There’s a petition to make Bernie the Senate Minority leader instead of Schumer. I think Bernie is more powerful in the field doing grassroots with the people, but I still added my vote. #feelthebern chng.it/gqQvWd9yG9

The safer you are in an environment of rising authoritarianism, the more obligation you have to make some noise on behalf of the people who are more vulnerable than you. Indeed, this is the only way you might avoid having the leopards eat your face.

Today - EARTH DAY - is the day we launch the Digital Exodus. Not with fireworks or fanfare, but with quiet determination—knowing this is a journey, not a one-time event. A path to a different way of life. Check out the Vision here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPnn... #Earthday2025 #DigitalExodus

I was looking up the term #hopepunk and found these articles from 2019. Deja vu? Clearly just as relevant today. "In the era of Trump and apocalyptic change, Hopepunk is a storytelling template for #resistance — and hanging onto your humanity at all costs." lnkd.in/gm69pbd3 lnkd.in/g98_c-Ee

The key language: "under 10 USC 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions ... and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur"

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth just stated that he will mobilize the U.S. Marines, who are now on high alert, to California from Camp Pendleton in if he needs to. Marines turned on US citizens. Does this sound like America to you?

U.S. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is under fire this weekend after proclaiming that there is an "insurrection" occurring with California protests.

A truly sad sight. Trump’s America. 🇺🇸

Hey www.linkedin.com/in/amandaian... is well worth the follow on LinkedIn

I believe small acts , with intent done repeatedly make a difference. I ask you to join me on doing so. One such small easy task is to use a lane with a cashier when shopping and not self checkout. The more people the bigger the difference.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…
