BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

rfk jr is a mass serial killer and that's how he should be described in headlines, not as "a vaccine skeptic" he's no skeptic, his plan is to murder millions of people for his eugenics fetish

All that Republicans really seem to want is to massacre their fellow citizens, and they seem to want it very much. I think it would be responsible for the public discourse to include this fact in every single story about pretty much any topic.

I kinda stopped following tennis when I moved and stopped playing, which was also around the time Federer retired and Serena was almost done. But my two favorite young players won this weekend, so I'm happy for Coco and Carlos.

trump and crew are creating a crisis so we take our eyes off the abomination of a bill going through congress. This is what they do, they create a multitude of immediate crisis's to divert our attention. We can walk and chew gum at the same time, we can address them all! Keep strong LA!

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Most people know that you’re statistically more likely to be murdered by someone you know than a stranger. BUT, most people don’t know that if you are murdered by a stranger— there’s a 30% chance that stranger IS A COP.

I feel a bit bad for the scooters to be honest. Those scooters help get people from the dispensary to Trader Joe's. Meanwhile, a cop car never serves public good in any way whatsoever.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

If Karen Bass can't control the police force, then she needs to fire every single cop in the LAPD. If she does, crime rates will immediately go down.

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

People need to understand the word “criminal” is the easiest weapon for an authoritarian to use and work on changing their emotional reactions to the word and recognize they’ve spent most of their lives being manipulated into vilifying allies to the delight of the wealthy.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

Remember kids: Jan 6th: Cops beaten, capitol seized, people killed = peaceful and patriotic. Today: Peaceful protesting, non violent = Insurrectionists that require military involvement. According to the present administration / regime.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.
