Jake Tapper is retweeting this, despite viewing himself as an objective journalist, because the political establishment thinks this is an objective opinion

Tell me again about my liberal bubble.

$134 million for an authoritarian crackdown on the streets of Los Angeles, trillions in tax cuts for the richest among us, and this. Priorities I guess

This seems flatly indistinguishable from having them perform ordinary law-enforcement functions, which is (wait for it) illegal. Absent an invocation of the Insurrection Act, military cannot enforce domestic law against civilians.

BAY AREA: RAPID RESPONSE TO SF AND CONCORD ICE AT IMMIGRATION COURTS - MASS SIT IN HAPPENING NOW ICE arrests are happing NOW at both San Francisco and Concord courts. 2 locations: 1. SF Court location: 100 Montgomery, SF 2. 1855 Gateway Blvd, Concord via Bay Resistance

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE. jonathancohn.medium.com/a-tale-of-tw...

y'all. the people setting waymos on fire are not reading your bluesky posts. finger-wagging about Nonviolent Protest is much more likely to scare liberals and undermine protest messaging than it is to reach the tiny number of protestors doing things that you personally think are Bad Optics

Fight the Empire.

Absolutely right.

This is both insane and untrue. Every year I watch videos of French people, including firefighters, fighting the cops and setting fires. No one shoots anyone.

There’s a reason ICE is raiding hotels in a blue city and not ag facilities in South Dakota.

So many of our loudest First Amendment enthusiasts have no idea that freedom of assembly is right there in it, on equal footing with freedom of the press or freedom of religion

Even when it's a white journalist- Even when there's footage of it happening- Even when someone in that footage says what just happened- News outlets *still* can't bring themselves to say that "a cop shot someone".

With friends like these…

Downtown LA tonight: No riots, but some will see this and still say, “That’s what I voted for” instead of “Love thy neighbor.”

The galaxy is watching.

Does anyone have any info on faith communities in LA coming together in solidarity for #immigrants? I'm sure it's happening -- we need to hear about it and amplify it. #progressivefaith #spiritualactivism

I agree with those who say that by attacking sanctuary cities, the administration was trying to provoke a response they could exploit. But here's the thing: there is no perfect move for a community under siege. Cooperation and the passive absorption of violence are also highly exploitable moves.

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

So am I allowed to call these people Nazis yet or do I need to wait for Charlie to be able to grow a hitlerstache

Zeitgeist barometer

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

Refreshing l

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.

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He should’ve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

So on brand!

the mexican flag flying over la has just as much if not more legitimacy as the american flag flying over la if you know literally anything about the history of the region

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Over 60 groups have been coordinating since December across LA as part of the Community Self Defense Coalition. They are on IG: www.instagram.com/communitysel... and you can donate to their ongoing work: www.gofundme.com/f/support-th... - Like I continue to say PEOPLE ARE ALREADY IN MOTION.

Many of the protests in LA have been successful at preventing ICE arrests and detention. “If we organize ourselves, if we resist, we can defend our communities from ICE terror, from the Border Patrol or from any federal agency that wishes to separate our families.”

Statistically, at least 25 of these Marines aren't full US citizens and yet, they've been ordered to go spread freedom by watching American cops shoot, gas, beat & trample people, some who are immigrants & some who are people who care about people who are immigrants, with horses

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

These Marines will be 18-20 years old. 25% of them will be Hispanic. 40% of them called California home before they enlisted. They are Infantryman, not police officers, trained to locate and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver. Sending in 19yos to shoot their friends and family is heinous.
