Fed abduction of US Citizen Amanda Trebach, a nurse who lives in Long Beach

Armed, masked federal agents violently abducted U.S. citizen & activist Amanda Trebach in San Pedro for monitoring ICE. This political kidnapping is an attack on our rights. Demand her release now! #ICEOutOfLA #FreeAmanda

if you're mad at a trans person for saying they won't vote for Gavin Newsom

too damn bad! this is our lives! it's not a purity test when it's our lives. of course we're a one issue voter, it's our lives

you could just not nominate Newsom! but everyone knows the risk of that now, you have no excuse

Dems: you can't just DO things in government

Trump: [declares himself king, every institution in the country rolls over, does whatever he wants]

Exclusive: Hundreds at Alligator Alcatraz have no criminal charges, Miami Herald learns Descriptions of the Everglades detention center as a place for violent criminals tell only part of the story.

250 people detained in the Florida Everglades have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA.

While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible.

What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

Bsky post from @chadloder.bsky.social "the armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Samoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM. [two photos: one of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo (Afa) and one of Arturo Gamboa. Afa is a brown-skinned man, smiling and wearing a brown hat and a yellow shirt. Arturo is a light-skinned man with a mohawk of black hair, smiling and wearing a black leather jacket and black shirt.]

Feeling the Klobentum™ now!

A perfect movie IMO

she's too busy praising the ICE goon squad

California Senator Alex Padilla was physically assaulted by federal law enforcement and detained for attempting to attend DHS secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in LA.

you're not supposed to deepthroat the boot

Take a moment to read more about the experience of our reporter, @abemarquez.bsky.social, who was on the ground in Downtown Los Angeles this weekend covering the protests.

She should muzzle LAPD while she's at it. Can't blame ICE for LAPD officer Rick J Linton - who previously shot an unarmed person four times with a shotgun in 2011 yet retained his job - for shooting a lawyer in the face

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.
