In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere.
Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that.
He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get.
So why don’t they insist on a vote?
They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:
“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.
Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”
