DHS has deployed predator drones over protests in Los Angeles. @dexdigi.bsky.social i spoke with @josephcox.bsky.social of @404media.co about his reporting on how federal agencies are using these weapons of war inside the U.S. — both for surveillance and for propaganda.

Last month, Operation: Return to Sender screened in San Francisco, Bakersfield, and Los Angeles to incredible audiences — including a standing-room-only crowd in Bakersfield.

Huge thanks to @calmatters.org for partnering with us to bring this story to life.
