Repression is not something that comes "after" the movement. It is not a custodial task. Building police centers and concentration camps, rounding up workers on a farm, are also all acts of repression that we resist. They fight us, we fight them back. It's as simple as that.

Border Patrol agents raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles today, kidnapping over a dozen people in what they called "Operation Trojan Horse."

They borrowed this tactic from Patriot Front, a neo-Nazi group that rents box trucks to transport its members to marches.

Now the fascists hold state power.

A masked anarchist in a helmet smashing the window of a police vehicle (marked "POLICE") with a water cannon mounted on it.

"At some point, the police drove a water cannon directly at the crowd. A certain masked anarchist ran right up to it and smashed out the window before it could get a clear shot at us. The driver pulled away in a hurry.

PPB protest settlements cost the city over $9.1 million since 2020 ​Protest-related settlements leave taxpayers on the hook for legal claims resulting from police violence

New records from the city's budget and finance office show settlements and litigation costs from police protest violence lawsuits have cost the city $9.1 million since 2020. Settlement money comes from the bureau's budget — in this year's brutal budget cycle, the city approved $308 million for PPB.

Here’s how PPB can legally respond to protests, and the munitions in its arsenal

With a handful of protests scheduled for this weekend, chances are there will be some kind of local police response. Legal experts say understanding the laws governing how PPB can respond is empowering, and provides a baseline for accountability.

We lay it all out for you.

Third—because as the impact of Trump's anti-immigrant policies becomes clear, this will discredit those who called for it. This has already happened to centrists over their complicity in the genocide in Gaza.

Finally, because public opinion does not emerge in a vacuum. We shape it with our actions.

ICE recently closed its Portland building to the public, multiple sources told Street Roots Monday. The closure may seem like a win for ICE opponents, but immigrant rights advocates say closing the building wreaks havoc for those seeking critical legal aid. ✍️: @jeremiahhayden.bsky.social
