Trust is going to be REALLY difficult to repair at this point. 🤦

Senator Alex Padilla clearly idenfied himself before he was placed in handcuffs —

The targeting of reporters in LA is inexcusable.

The public interest in press coverage of protests couldn’t be more self-evident.

We helped lead this letter to remind federal officers of journalists’ constitutional right to report on civil unrest. media.freedom.press/media/docume...

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets?

Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”.

Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA.

PS Masks are for self preservation of ego in this case and a vital rhetorical power shift (we know who you are, but you cannot say the same) ICE is a tool and a foil of a much larger plan.

It’s starting.

Trump: "We're going to have troops everywhere," he says when asked if he plans to send the military to Los Angeles.

“We're not going to let this happen to our country... If we see danger to our country and our citizens, we're going to be very strong."

The masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity.

The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators. Which will help protect you from COVID & other airborne threats!

Normalize masking for public health.

“If Paramount capitulates here, they will be eviscerating perhaps their most precious journalistic assets …not to mention their own reputation and shareholder value,” said @normeisen.bsky.social.

“Beyond that, Paramount will be harming the First Amendment itself. They should not yield.”

Trump: “Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles…”

Gov. Gavin Newsom:

JUST NOW: Protesters were protesting and demonstrating peacefully in front of federal building / detention center and then suddenly the National Guard started to push them back.

So true

CDC recommends parents talk to a doctor about getting COVID-19 shots for kids RFK Jr. announced this week that the federal government is removing the recommendation that kids and pregnant women get routine COVID-19 vaccines. But CDC advice is more nuanced.

YouTube video by Cory Booker We must defend PBS and NPR.

Public broadcasters like PBS and NPR give every American access to culture, history, art, and trusted journalism. They’re a cornerstone of civic life.

Defunding them does a disservice to us all, especially in rural communities.

We must defend them.

Civil rights lawyers leave en masse as Justice Dept. mission shifts Civil rights director Harmeet K. Dhillon redirected her staff to focus on combating antisemitism, anti-Christian bias and what she calls “woke ideology.”

Breaking news: New civil rights division chief said more than 100 attorneys have left their jobs, in many cases because they disagreed with the office’s new focus on combating anti-Christian bias, transgender athletes in women’s sports, and “woke ideology.”

Something like this I think

Agreed. And the answer is fear.

Hey, I know the Ryan Gosling/Star Wars news happened like a full 24 hours ago, but this just occurred to me, so:

Not an issue - eventually I would like to hold meetings online anyway
