You are not alone. Your voice matters, and others will hear you. Silence now will be complicity later. Stand up. #NoKings #resist

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I stayed resistant to #acab as a core idea. I know officers at various levels and specializations. Watching years of protests met with violence, injustice, mission creep and militarization, it seems safer to just assume all cops are bastards first. Let them prove otherwise and earn some respect.

#rights #NoKings Don't go unprepared. Know your rights! Protest like tomorrow may not look the same as today. It won't.

La folks—friends in West Covina are telling me ICE is at the mall, the Walmart and all over Baldwin park and hacienda heights. Please be safe.

#AZ #ICE

The Empire was always a representation of a fascist dictatorship (some would say space Nazis). #Andor got the power dynamics right. Don't let the corporate media convince you that their 'news' products are complete and without bias.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Stay vigilant. ICY conditions can appear quickly and with little warning. The front is moving. #resist #eyesup

Solidarity is more important than ever. That's why I invited my opponents to cohost this Pride event with me and I hope they take me up on it. Democrats need to stand for something and when it comes to common ground and basic values, we need to stand together.

#Solidarity

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Your tax dollars pay for just about everything a police department does, which includes generating tons of reports, dispatch logs, and video recordings. Any citizen is entitled to see those public records to understand how the government works. By @andrewfordnews.bsky.social (Published June 2020)

I've been reminding myself for the last hour or two...stay focused and #eyesup LA is one part of the overall assault.

While #Marines are being deployed on US soil, this:

1. In a major ruling, a federal court has ruled that Trump's executive orders banning funding to orgs that promote "gender ideology" is likely unconstitutional. This will help protect or restore funding for LGBT centers who are plaintiffs. Subscribe to support our journalism. Order inside story.

Alright, heading out since I have to pick up my kids from school, stay safe everyone and remember: Chinga la migra y viva Los Angeles! Free David Huerta and all the rest!

#eyesup #Missouri St Louis and KC are low hanging fruit for these authoritarian goons

RIP Sly Stone

I don’t talk about it too much, because I don’t want to come across as saleswoman, but I’m the Executive Director of Missouri. Last year, our grassroots members gave almost $230,000 to down-ballot Democratic candidates in Missouri alone. This is how we will make change. Join us! bluemissouri.org

There it is. Finally the open admission that ICE and its associated goons are indifferent to the suffering of the people. Inhumane, fascist goons.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Those many people who take issue with the Mexican flag being displayed during resistance protests should reflect on their reflexive, pavlovian erections when seeing militarized cops shoot those protesters.

As @stephaniekelton.bsky.social reminds us— “we’re broke” lie has gone on for decades.👇🏽Time Mag cover from 1972 (!!) We are not broke. “Deficit” spending is how we fund our economy. There is always money for wars, tax cuts for the rich See through it.🇺🇸 stephaniekelton.substack.com/p/the-defici...

Don't give an inch. Don't give them a reason since they already have one in mind. Fascists only know fear and dehumanization. Stand up. Stand strong. #resist

#LA #NoKings Cops shooting journos? I know I keep posting this. Without a free press, without our protected speech, we lose everything.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

Again, the #LAPD have been recorded targeting journos. #fascists #resist

👇👇👇

#LAPD not known for their gentle policing, now openly attempting to trample a protestor with his horse while beating the man with wood poles. #Amerikkka

Unseat the Grahamster!! His meemaw has been hollerin' for a while anyway.

Don't get trapped alone. The #cops aren't there to protect the citizens. They are the armed enforcers of capitalists and their property. If no one sees, no one can save you. #eyesup #staysafe #resist

Targeting journos in a conflict area? Does anyone happen to recall that there was/is a load of US police training done in conjunction with the IDF? Seeing patterns here.
