Here's a Labor voice we haven't heard from in a very long time! Barry Jones, on the impact of Factionalism: #auspol

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

No National Guard called on January 6 🤔

Thankful that so many people understand that mass protest is an important backstop against authoritarianism

Laughed until I wheezed seeing this.

It is impossible not to commit violence when the state has ultimately the power to define everything you do as violence.

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

what the hell are ICE violence, the trans military ban, &c, &c, &c if not identity politics? anyway i am having some Feelings about language and its bad-faith appropriation

I don't think that the MSM will be useful in covering what's going on. We're going to have to rely on independent journalists and foreign correspondents.

Anybody bleating on about this being unique to Trump is a big part of how we got here. Trump will *absolutely* do something that crosses a new line, but not a single thing so far is unprecedented. This happened constantly under Dems. But liberals look away every time

Exactly this. Go to TikTok. Look at the lives. It’s 400 people OUTSIDE LA, standing outside an ICE facility and they are making the ruling class shake. This is a sign of weakness on the part of the ruler: they are afraid and they can be stopped.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

Anyone even remotely playing devils advocate for, much less defending, ICE or cops is getting hard blocked. That’s just how it’s gotta be, you’ve shown you can’t be trusted.

Remember. This all started because #ICE was camping out at the #LosAngeles #DHS facility, then kidnapping parents and children—arriving for their families’ scheduled immigration appointments. Regular Angelenos tried to physically stop agents from kidnapping kids; then the gov’t teargassed everyone.

A couple weeks back I was reading about how small organized protests around a city vs 1 large one would break the police… in a city as big as say, oh i don’t know, LA.

#Straya When I was a kid in the 70s, Chinese-Australian restaurants were a welcome change from bland & stodgy UK-style food. My personal favourite as both a kid & an adult was/is Special Fried Rice; a standard egg-fried rice fancied up with prawns (shrimp, if you're a Seppo) & cubes of bbq pork.

The food science behind MSG is not debatable. There have been numerous wide and repeated studies. MSG is a naturally occurring compound, which we have tastebuds specifically to sense. If you can eat aged cheese, tomatoes, or bacon (among many other foods), you can eat MSG (some do have reactions).

PHILLY:

To spell it out, the reason I hate democrats so much and criticize them more than I do republicans is because they take up all the space for opposition to republicans and use that space to give republicans whatever the fuck they want.

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

IT'S SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY! If you are stopped or detained by ANY law enforcement FOR ANY REASON, the ONLY thing you should say (besides providing ID in a stop and ID state) is: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. That's it.

ScoMo being awarded an AO medal: Absent Overseas during an emergency.

Trump has signed a memorandum deploying 2000 National Guard to Los Angeles—the next step in his power grab. The best thing that people can do in solidarity is to take action outside LA. They want to isolate and suppress us one by one. Stand up in solidarity. crimethinc.com/posters/the-...

"Very serious consequences" if Musk supports Dems. I guess the killing of the First Amendment is complete.

It seems self evident to me but apparently it is not: inevitably when a government uses this kind of violence on civilians, civilians feel more compelled to reciprocate in kind. There's a lot of research on this, and also it's just common sense.

Tis how it’s done. Make them hate their jobs and suffer, make it very undesirable to work for DHS, take the fight to them and isolate them resourcefully

It’s quite clear that whatever they thought would go down in LA things didn’t go as planned. It’s also quite clear local law enforcement couldn’t be bothered with this shit show. To be blunt: DHS should have been much better prepped than this. This is why they don’t do showy raids.

The ICE raids are an attack on the US. The Trump regime’s foot soldiers are training for long term occupation.

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

RT if you love boobs or if you think ICE should be abolished

The feds are taking over the national guard of California to use it against citizens protesting against the American Gestapo terrorizing communities to go after any and all immigrants. Fuck the troops, fuck the cops, fuck the gov.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

America would have to be the most over-policed country on earth.

Hard to believe it’s been three years since two ambitious “progressive” Harvard professors, one affiliated with Jacobin, called for “half a million” more police because they felt the U.S. was “underpoliced.”

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc
