Josh Johnson's take on the Los Angeles ICE protests is absolutely spot on and hilarious.

My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Was at the protest #NoKings rally in downtown #LosAngeles this morning. It was a completely peaceful march of Americans exercising our 1A rights. The crowd was growing even as we left. The only thing that would have incited or necessitated tear gas on that massive crowd is the police. Full stop.

I'm restarting this long thread of police misconduct toward press in LA. I found 50+ incidents in a week, but slowed posting to help lawyers prep responses.

Now ... can anyone help me ID/contact this photographer charged and hit by LAPD horse TWICE on Wednesday?

They’re trying to stop you from showing up. They want you to stay home. If your state says it’s safe to go, you should protest. Meet people, march, make posters, organize, have fun, be seen. Don’t let the bastards win.
Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Los Angeles is under occupation. We were invaded and are currently occupied by a hostile regime.

Start saying the words.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children

The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted

Even if you DO have disdain for liberals, the absolute fastest way to radicalize a liberal is by inviting them to a peaceful protest and having them experience cops shooting rubber bullets at them.
The people railing about Cowardly Liberals right now really don’t seem to understand how I bet at least 90% of the people who show up to protest would self-identify as if you asked them about their political beliefs

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

look, both sides are to blame here. on one side, a United States Senator tried to ask a cabinet secretary a question at a public event, and on the other side armed goons wrestled him to the ground and handcuffed him.
over at the New York Times, Kristi Noem's goon squad forcing a United States Senator to the floor and handcuffing him after he identified himself is a "sign of the rising political tensions"

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets?

Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”.

Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA.
