50501 SC Demands Justice
Mark Baumgartner shot a passing driver outside the Columbia Planned Parenthood on the morning of 11/14/25. Baumgartner is head of the forced-birth nonprofit A Moment of Hope that regularly harasses patients outside of the Columbia Planned Parenthood.
Video confirms what activists who were there are saying: Baumgartner was recording the victim as they drove by, so the person pulled over and got out to ask why they were being recorded. The video then shows Baumgartner pepper spraying the unarmed driver. They tussle, and Baumgartner ultimately shot the driver who was originally simply... passing by. Baumgartner's lack of judgment, poor gun safety, and inability to de-escalate shows he is an active threat to everyone in our community.
50501 SC stands with Planned Parenthood and the activists who support reproductive rights and rally outside the clinic to protect patients from the unhinged far-right forced-birth extremists who jeopardize the safety of our communities. We stand with community members who want answers about why these forced birthers are allowed to put all of us at risk.
Despite video evidence to the contrary, Baumgartner is trying to claim self-defense.
50501 SC demands justice for the victim and an end to the harassment of people seeking health care.

The IDF has intercepted and kidnapped the Madleen because they didn't want it to deliver baby formula n other things like that to Palestinians who are experiencing starvation due to the Israeli government refusing to allow aid in. That's the story no matter how you window dress it.

I hear the ICE pigs had their tires slashed in Pasadena, then the tow truck service showed up to repair ICE's tires but the crowd convinced the tow truck driver to turn around, so ICE was out there trying to inflate their tires and duct tape them to escape after the hotel asked them to leave.

Itβs not just that itβs clearly intentional, itβs that itβs clearly intentional knowing that heβs being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

I don't know who said it, but the gist was "imagine if we tolerated bad apples in commercial airline pilots the same way they are tolerated in the police."
"Like sure, he may be screaming slurs in the intercom and actively endangering passengers. Even tossed a couple out of flying planes.. but.."

Whenever I try and raise awareness of the risk disabled people face when detained by ICE, Iβm met with a chorus of voices asking βwere they illegal?β
Hereβs the thing, it doesnβt matter if theyβre here legally or not
No human being should be made to suffer this way π§΅

At this point, the only way out of this is for the LAPD to turn around and arrest ICE.
If they wonβt do that, then get the National Guard under Cal governor to arrest LAPD.
If they wonβt do that, then the system is broke, we exist in a state of lawlessness, and The People must act to end tyranny.

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He shouldβve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

I recognize this is an exceedingly difficult time and for many of you this is a crisis on several levels. I respect those challenges and I don't consider press rights superior to the rights of others. However, all other rights depend on press rights. We cannot allow them to be chilled. This was explained by civil rights icon and longtime congressmember John Lewis:
"If it hadn't been for the media, for brave, courageous journalists, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings."
Democracy cannot function without an informed public. The public cannot be informed without a free press. It is your shared responsibility to ensure press are able to do their job. Several of you have been supportive over the years and I thank you for that. But your support is now needed more than ever. Please ensure your teams are aware of these egregious violations and ensure you take all possible steps to protect the press, and thereby the public and our country itself.
Sincerely,
Adam Rose
Press Rights Chair
Los Angeles Press Club
Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend.
The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law.
Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow.
Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

A few people on here made a good point: a masked man with no clear uniform grabs her in the shadows... how the hell is she supposed to react? What if itβs some predator posing as law enforcement? Thereβs so much wrong with ICEβs approach under this administration.

4 panel comic
Panel 1: Right Wing Red Guy and Blue Guy having a conversation.
Red guy: I hate Greta Thunberg because sheβs a grifter
Panel 2: Blue Guy (sceptical): Really?
Panel 3: Both stare at each other
Panel 4: Red Guy (sulking like a 5 year old) says: No. She exposes my performative βmasculinityβ and makes me feel like a coward
Blue Guy: There it is
right-wing dude bro trying to justify his hatred

Was just locked for a week over at the Nazi hellscape for telling a man that he was going to need arthritis cream for his knees.
But earlier this week when I had a creature DM me to call me "f@ggot" - No violation. When I had someone tell me to f**k myself and call me a c**t, no violation.

Got a 12 hour lock over at the dumpster fire for responding to a troll harassing me, who stated he had all the time in the world since he had surgery with, "hope the pen!le implant takes".
Yet people are literally posting the hard N, and nothing.
