I see posts saying protesters aren't brutalized under Dems. I guess right-wingers aren't the only ones fantasizing about a mythical past. I was brutalized at protests under Obama. Folks were brutalized at protests under Biden. We can condemn the escalations of the present w out fetishizing the past.

Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white paint-like substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio."

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.

The California National Guard just tear-gassed and fired impact munitions at reporters, children, and community leaders. Multiple injuries. National Guard has now declared an "unlawful assembly" on the streets. Not clear whether NG has legal authority to enforce that far away from federal buildings.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

the white Afrikaners were rolled out a red carpet while Latinos, some of them US citizens, were being chased down like dogs. the writing is on the wall. the US wants to maintain a white ethno-nationalist state and whiteness doesn’t want them(Latinos).

The World Cup is especially wild because it’s also hosted in Canada and Mexico, so you’d expect at least some players and fans to be crossing those borders even during the competition. I can’t see how it will possibly work.

Note THUS FAR, LAT is covering this as a response to Trump's ICE escalation (other outlets are treating the protests as the spark).

I've seen little comment abt assault-and-arrest of David Huerta, which preceded Trump's escalation yesterday, and which fits the model we saw with Delaney Hall and Jerry Nadler's office. Unlike the prior targets, Huerta doesn't have obvious immunity. He was also injured in the assault.

Again, the arrest of Huerta is a BIG DEAL.

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

I am floored at how many posts I've seen from people asking if LAPD would get involved to stop or de-escalate things with ICE. The LAPD couldn't de-escalate finding some illegal fireworks at a guy's house before a long weekend and blew up a city block. They're not going to de-escalate a thing.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!
