"Hope is like when you fall into an emptiness, and you have hope that you're going to float, you're going to float. It's like how I always said, 'we're in a hole, but we need to dig. Find a way to move forward.'" - Narciso

This is cool! Love all the easter eggs from Bad Bunny’s performance, and my favorite, not LA-related, was Lady Gaga.

On January 30, the Trump admin bypassed Congress to push billions in weapons to Israel

Last July, I wrote about LA politicians who have accepted money from pro-Israel lobby groups

Daniel Lee, a U.S. Air Force veteran with VetsAboutFace, speaks about the importance of coming out and supporting the call from Minnesota.

Rafael Avciodlu is not with an org and came out on his own to support the movement, and understands that it takes people's movements to make things change

Minnesota made the call, and Los Angeles answered! #GeneralStrike #ICEOUTOFLA

🪡 Happening now: Hundreds of people are gathered in front of Los Angeles City Hall, part of a nationwide call for a General Strike to stop ICE terror. A lot more people are still arriving.

Here are a few of the emails from Casey Wasserman, current chair of LA28, to Ghislaine Maxwell in the latest Epstein files drop

A lot of businesses across L.A. are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and the nationwide movement to get ICE and DHS out of our communities.

Historic moment.

ICE kidnapped someone on this street corner. Now its empty. No flowers, no neighbors.

*Border Patrol Agents, not ICE

Around 8:40 AM this morning, off 139th Street and Nestor Ave in the Compton neighborhood, ICE agents arrested two workers who were putting down concrete on a house they were working on.

The video was sent to me by a friend of a homeowner.

(earlier today) Frank Lara, a Chicano running for California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, addresses the crowd with some historical analysis of how our community has always stood against state repression.

Happening now: The people of Los Angeles have taken to the streets in response to the news that federal immigration agents have killed another legal observer in Minneapolis. This is the second person they've killed in Minneapolis this month.

Thanks to All Power Books for inviting me to talk about the Bolivarian revolution and Venezuela’s history of resisting the US empire.

DAILY MEMO: ICE and Border Patrol Continue Shooting and Assaulting Southern California Immigrants, Citizens, Women, and Minors

Friday at All Power

In recent days, US lawmakers met with Venezuela’s opposition leader, María Corina Machado, to discuss Venezuela’s future. The Democrats presented themselves as the “resistance” to Trump, yet their actions reflect loyalty to US imperialism.
