LAPD appears to have kettled protesters around 7:45pm to prevent them from leaving, waited for the 8pm curfew to kick in and then mass-arrested them for curfew violations.

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

When Los Angeles actually *was* burning down six months ago, these people didn't give a damn about us. Now they're spreading fake AI videos showing LA burning
i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

There will be criminal charges filed against this officer. He fucked up. He fired on a pretty blonde woman reporter whose back was to him in broad daylight. Our bigoted biased country will actually respond when it isn't a person of color. Fuck me.
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

I don't believe a thing this guy says. He's a lackey for the felon. Why would I want my dollars support a counrty that is abusing its own citizens? No thanks I'll stay at home. Canadians will never forget the felon said there is nothing the US needs from Canada

Unfortunately, being only a written statement and not an actual briefing, this means that Albertans can expect at least another 6 weeks of measles.
