Anti-ICE protester in Los Angeles found dead in her jail cell and literally there is no mainstream reporting on this. The only reason her name was publicized was b/c @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social put it out there.
Justice for Adrienne Villa!
Justice for Adrienne Villa!
It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media
An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

Trump accepted a $400M luxury jet from Qatar.
But for Trump to use the plane, it has to be secure.
What will it cost to modify and take the plane apart? At least $1 BILLION from taxpayers.
Trump’s hiding that by using funds from one of our nuclear programs.
I’m pushing back.
