Mental health professional. Homelessness, sweeps, evictions, high rents, & police budgets are state violence we can end - hold LA electeds accountable.

Worth a read. Per the article McDonnell says there are multiple "documented" cases of officers being attacked. Okay, then show the video and evidence then. There were cameras everywhere.

Yesterday, we reclaimed public space for another Really, Really Free Market! While LA politicians cut services, increase criminalization, and collaborate with fascists, hundreds of everyday people from across Los Angeles came together in community to meet each other’s needs. We take care of us!

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

Los Angeles, CA - a ma ch from the Boyle heights neighborhood is approaching Metro Detention Center, where a number of immigrant detainees are held.

Protesters in the street. A sign says stop ethnic cleansing of LA and Palestine. Someone is carrying a Mexican flag.

British photojournalist hit by non lethal rounds during Los Angeles protests Nick Stern to undergo surgery for wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters

β€œPeople came over to help and got me on the curb. A medic was called, who cut off my clothes. In my leg was what felt like a five centimeter hole with muscle hanging out of it and blood all down my leg. The medic put a tourniquet on it, and a journalist I was with took me to ER.”

About 100 protesters beginning a I march from Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, towards downtown Los Angeles. Chanting β€œwhose streets? Our streets!”

STOP GOING DOWNTOWN.

EstΓ‘s en el barrio, staying around there gathers vecinos who didn’t see your flyers and posts.

Going to DTLA is where you will get kettled.

Dolores Huerta, a 95 year old labor organizer with deep roots going back even before the Delano Grape Strike in 1965, here in Boyle Heights speaking at a protest. She called the past several days of detainments throughout Los Angeles a β€œhorrible assault.”

Greetings! I’m at Mariachi Plaza in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. A crowd of several dozen are here protesting against immigration raids within the community. An organizer warming up the crowd. Crowd is very energetic.

Never said to go on federal property. They can’t arrest a dozen crowds of hundreds scattered across the city & county. That’s the whole point.

Grand park makes it easy for police to crowd control. Consider federal buildings.

Earlier, federal police in DTLA shot me in the finger with a pepper ball, and I got hit multiple times in the back w/ "less-lethal" rounds. Looks like my backpack saved me from getting hit in the back a few more times. I'm currently resting up at home.

Exactly this. Go to TikTok. Look at the lives. It’s 400 people OUTSIDE LA, standing outside an ICE facility and they are making the ruling class shake. This is a sign of weakness on the part of the ruler: they are afraid and they can be stopped.

I'm outside Metropolitan Detention Center where a group of around 50 ppl are protesting the recent immigration raids. Tensions flared for a moment when federal police cleared a path for several vehicles to enter the Federal Building. @lataco.bsky.social

Practically speaking, 2,000 National Guard in an area the size of Greater Los Angeles can't do very much without local agency help.

They can lock down a couple neighborhoods. They can stay put and protect some federal facilities. They can't enforce a curfew on 18 million people across 4000 sq miles

The California legislature and city & county governments should file injunctions and draft emergency legislation prohibiting the quartering of now-federalized troops on private property including hotels under the Third Amendment.

Make the Guard bivouac on the ground on federal property.

DHS HSI were on the radio two hours ago begging other agencies for water.

"We're out of water and it's very hot out here" - they were also asking for an escort and local cops did not provide it.

It took two hours for additional DHS tactical teams to arrive from elsewhere. This looks like them.

Wear gloves when throwing the canisters back. They can burn your hands. Mechanics gloves, n95 mask, and LARP shields.
