Finally, some good news: ”Prices for used Cybertrucks are in a freefall, a stunning collapse that has become the most visible symbol of the deep and growing crisis at Tesla.”

ICE agents have been told to continue conducting enforcement operations at agricultural businesses despite concerns about negative effects on the food industry.

A β€œshift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you.

Who’s actually in charge?

LAPD appears to have kettled protesters around 7:45pm to prevent them from leaving, waited for the 8pm curfew to kick in and then mass-arrested them for curfew violations.

Keeping tabs on MAGA’s perception of the situation in LA and they are absolutely convinced the city is aflame and on the brink of total collapse.

This altered reality legitimizes incredible violence and is so reminiscent of disinformation that had fueled sectarian violence.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

There's no reason for any Democrat who is a serious candidate for 2028 or thinks they have a shot at winning not to come out and say "Abolish ICE" right now.

2,000 National Guard members, 700 Marines, for what?

Escalation, violence, and spectacle. But to legitimize a crackdown and normalize military presence on our streets.

LAPD statement thanking "organizers, participants, and community partners" after yesterday's protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles. Amazing what Trump has achieved - for the Resistance.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
