I thought I would be safe if I positioned myself with all the cable news crews off to the side away from all of the protesters. But nope. I was wrong. The feds shot pepper balls at us, forcing us down Alameda Street with everyone else. @lataco.bsky.social

Scary ass people really should shut the fuck up. You being scary as hell is “counterproductive”. You are not a coach - you calling ZERO plays.

AFAIK, the word used in US code is “improper.” And semantics matter, especially if the 8th Amendment is to have any meaning.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.
We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

He’s treating them like his employees. And we know how well that usually goes
For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.
Sad as it is to say, the greatest consoling thought I have as we march towards a fascism is how unlikely it is to last not because people are brave, or moral, or prepared to combat it... but because it's expensive to maintain, and the man driving us to it couldn't even keep a fucking casino afloat.

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence:
1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating.
2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights.
3. Their goals are bigger than today.

Lessons learned from when the Obama administration deported millions of people
Could deporting immigrants open up their jobs for Americans? President Obama's administration deported more than 3 million people, and an economist studied those effects.
