For real, it was the largest protest Iโve seen in a long time. โ๐ผ
Remarkable.
MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up

Donaldย Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President.
By turning the military against American citizens, he is threatening the very core of our democracy.
Iโm asking the court to immediately block these unlawful actions.
If you incite violence or destroy our communities, you are going to be held accountable.ย
